It's All About to Change is the second studio album by American country music singer Travis Tritt, released on Warner Bros. Records in 1991. The tracks "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'", "Nothing Short of Dying", "Anymore", and "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)" were released as singles; "Bible Belt" also charted from unsolicited airplay. "Anymore" was the second single of Tritt's career to reach Number One on the Hot Country Songs charts. Overall, this is Tritt's highest-certified album; with sales of over three million copies in the U.S., it has been certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA.
In collaboration with the band Little Feat, Tritt recorded the song "Bible Belt" about "an adulterous assistant preacher". He then rewrote the lyrics to reflect the titular character of My Cousin Vinny, portrayed by Joe Pesci, and this placement gained him some exposure.
