Trent Willmon (Audio CD)

Availability: Usually ships in 1 business days

West Texas native Willmon doesn't just write most of his material; he does so with few collaborators, applying his smoky, tense baritone to a world he knows firsthand. On this debut, he celebrates icons of rural living such as brown-bottle beer ("Beer Man"), Southern hybrid stores (that mix bait and guns with laundromats), and the simple everyday routine of a working man ("The Good Life"). "The Wishing Well," a finely nuanced musical novelette, chronicles comings and goings in a rural barroom. His reflective, confessional "Every Now and Then" breaks the usual musical and lyrical clichés of most drinking songs. Willmon based the evocative, bittersweet "Medina Daydreaming" on memories of the Texas Hill Country. Can Willmon tear up a stage? He proves it with "All Day Long," a searing Texas fusion of Southern blues-rock and Western swing. Paired with the producer Frank Rogers, who handles Brad Paisley and Josh Turner, Willmon has much in common with both of those singers: 21st Century traditionalism with true staying power. --Rich Kienzle

A solid album Jan 17, 2008
I had never heard of Trent Willmon until I was listening to Pandora and kept coming up. I got hooked and figured i would buy how two albums to see if I liked them as much. I was pleasantly surprised. I wish I had heard about him earlier. I would strongly advise this for someone that is interested in a new artist with a traditional sound.

Excellent cd Feb 27, 2006
From start to finish this is a great cd. This is a cd you can listen to over and over again and not be bored or skip a song. A couple of the songs are very emotional.Home Sweet Holiday Inn-based on his true life and Here-a song that can touch you very deeply. My mother cries every times she hears it.I have seen Trent several times in concert and he gets better with each show. In a couple of weeks I get to see him for like the 12th time. I can't think of another cd I own that I actually listen to each song but this one. I can't wait til the release of his 2nd cd. Please buy this cd and support Trent Willmon. He has new management and He will be a big star that will not fade.

Trent Willmon is all that most modern country fails to be. Aug 17, 2005
This isn't your typical modern country music, boys and girls. Trent Willmon is as American as apple pie, Chevy pickups and Chris Craft. Willmon combines traditional, yet catchy tunes and classic country topics to create an album, that, for some reason, is unknown to most of the so-called country music listeners out there, yet one of the best releases in years. Whoever his manager is needs to be fired, because this fellow is getting far less attention than he deserves. If you want classic country sound with a few contemporary twists, Trent Willmon, along with fellow newcomers Josh Turner and Bobby Pinson, is not to be missed.

Amazing... Jun 11, 2005
I bought this cd for one song only which is usually a risk. I am so glad that I took it. I only wish that Columbia would start doing something good with Trent's career. They (right now) are doing a horrible job and Trent deserves better.
The first two songs (Beer Man and Dixie Rose Deluxe) are fun songs that will make you feel good.
Home Sweet Holiday Inn- (the song I bought the album for)is superb. It is heartbreaking and I can't help but choke up when I listen to it. The song is remarkably well written.

She Don't Love Me- previously recorded by Billy Ray Cyrus on his publically-ignored album "Time Flies" and I can't decide what version I like more. I'm leaning towards Trent.

The Good Life- it's (to me)about apreciating the little things in life that you'd miss a lot of they weren't there. Great song co-written by Bobby Pinson (who has a great new cd out!) and Trent Willmon.

Population 81- a wonderful song that makes you feel the heartache the guy is going through.

Medina Daydreaming- really hard to describe. You'd have to hear it.

The Wishing Well- fun song to sing along to and is pretty true.

All Day Long- another fun song but definitely worth a listen

Every Now and Then- a slow song about drinking to forget things. Emotions will fly while listening to this song.

Here- one of the best songs EVER written. This song made me actually cry and almost no songs can make me do that these days. The guy in the song is talking to his wife. The twist is the guy is dead. It is hard to explain more than that. You'd have to really hear it to get how it works out.

If you are thinking about getting this cd, do it now!! It will be worth the money.

Awesome CD Apr 30, 2005
This is by far the best "freshman" album I have encountered. I encourage everyone to listen and buy it. Definitely worth the investment.
