When you describing one of the world's most talented cowboys and one of country music's most promising stars, there are never enough good things to say. But for Trent Willmon, awesome sums it up. Trent is releasing his new CD Broken In with Compadre Records. You can hear it in his voice as soon as the first song starts, that Trent is refreshed. Be prepared to hear something new, as well as the great sound we have all enjoyed from the start of his career.
The title track "Broken In" is the first song on the album, & it's a great song to start off with. Singing about life, Trent brings into perspective one thing, don't judge anyone. When you look at someone who maybe rough around the edges, don't judge them, they're not broke, they're just "broken in."
"Dry County" is my personal favorite. It doesn't matter how small your hometown is, there are always good & bad things about living there. For many of us, if we lived in an "alcohol free" town, we would go insane, but Trent makes it look fun. He even describes all of the fun things you go through just to get a cold one. You can actually imagine a bunch of friends jumping into a truck & heading off to the next town for a twelve pack. This is a fun song you're sure to love.
"The Good Days Are Gone" has a great sound that starts out like some of the more traditional tunes. The story is pretty simple, if you look back at all of the things you've done, it's amazing you're alive. Listening to it, it would have been a song that Merle, George, or Waylon would have loved to have recorded.
"The Truth" slows it down a little. Again, it goes back to the relationship point of view, but on this tune, they have actually split up. You can tell he's had his heart crushed a few times in his life. Trent tells a story about how they have split up and he's asking all of his friends, if they see her to tell her he's doing great. Unfortunately, he's not doing nearly as good as his friends are letting on. Finally at the end he admits just how bad things have been.
It doesn't matter if you have been a fan of Trent Willmon's from his first album or if your just looking for something different, no collection is complete without Broken In.
