Backin' to Birmingham

Product Description
Banjo legend Raymond Fairchild succinctly sums up the talents of budding guitarist, Trey Hensley: "Here is a kid that has it all, and is only 13-years-old. Trey is already a professional rhythm picker, a great lead picker, and a great singer. After having played music myself for almost 49 years, Trey Hensley is the most talented and the most impressive young musician I have ever met." And… Trey is connected, too! His list of supporters and admirers seems endless: Marty Stuart ("Trey Hensley is the real deal; I’m one of his biggest fans"), Carl Jackson ("Thank the Good Lord for good young musicians like Trey Hensley"), Tom T. Hall ("Watch out for this young man ... he’s gonna be around a long time"), and even Jeanette Carter, an offspring of the venerable Carter Family ("Trey Hensley is an excellent guitar picker and I know he will go far in music"). Among his picking buddies is banjo legend Earl Scruggs, with whom he brought the house down at a recent Grand Ole ! Opry appearance. A native of East Tennessee, his debut CD, Backin’ To Birmingham, lets the world know what all the fuss is about!

Talented young bluegrass up-and-comer!.......2005-01-07

Playing Time - 34:33 -- Trey Hensley is a talented young guitarist and singer who has obtained the backing of the reputable Copper Creek label. He's released one album prior to this one, and Trey has found great support from family and friends like Tom T. and Dixie Hall. Trey's friends (referred to as "Drivin' Force") who appear on this CD with him include G.C. Matlock (rhythm guitar), Susie Keys (bass, vocals), Jeffrey Orr (vocals), Tommy Austin (mandolin, vocals), Jerry Keys (banjo), Barry Bales (bass), Keith Williams (fiddle, vocals), Hunter Berry (fiddle), Tim Stafford (vocals), and Paul Williams (vocals).

Performing since the age of twelve, Trey has been described as "a stand-up nice young man with a love for bluegrass music." Trey sings with a pleasant voice that will only get better as he matures and works with others. The song listing in the CD's jacket and on the CD's back is in error. "You Can Have Her" appears at track six although liner notes put that song at track nine (which actually is "Theme Time"). Trey's aptitude for guitar-picking is especially noteworthy. He also shows that he likes old standards, some of which have been recorded extensively over the years. His delivery is relaxed, and such cuts as "Backin' to Birmingham," "Forsaken Love," "Give Mother My Crown," and "Legend of the Johnson Boys" would be very deserving of airplay.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this bluegrass up-and-comer. The music's clearly in Trey Hensley's blood. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)
