Tunes on Tuesday Featuring Trent Beaver

Trent’s lyrics tell a tale of an old fashioned grind, of ‘racking up overtime just enough to get by’ and ‘drinking that pain away’, yet they retain a pride, with the chorus staying ‘I come from a long line of sinners and boozers, not a single one of them was a loser’. There’s also a wry sense of humour in lines like, ‘If they try and take my house I’ll set it on fire’. This is delivered in Beaver’s gloriously husky vocals, with natural melodies and a hooky chorus. The production centres around a solid country guitar and chugging beats, complete with effective vocal harmonies and a classic country mandolin. There’s also an atmospheric music video with historic shots of Molalla to check out. Any fans of modern country and storytelling will find something to enjoy here.” - Eden n
