 To call Trey Hensley an “old soul” or “throwback” misses the point. His take on country music isn’t merely a neo-traditional rearrangement of the musical furniture, but a complete gut of the room...Hensley’s voice oozes a worldliness difficult to reconcile with his youth...And he is also one mean guitar picker; on Larry Gatlin’s “Billy Jack Willis” Hensley pulls out a passel of hot licks, twisting his Telecaster’s strings into musical shapes reminiscent of the late Jerry Reed and Don Rich. Bass runs completment his upper-register pedal-steel riffs, which ground his playing and keep it melodically driven.
Is the world of “hot” country music ready for a classic throwback? Trey Hensley aims to find out. "It Is What It Is" has more soul in the first 10 seconds than you’ll find in an hour on any commercial country music radio station.

TREY HENSLEY/It Is What It Is
Writer: Steve Wariner/Lane Turner/Rick Carnes; Producers: Paul Martin & Steven Robinson; Publisher: Steve Wariner/Major Bob/Songs of Peer, BMI/ASCAP; Kid in the Hat (track)
—I have praised this teenage prodigy’s talents before. The
title tune to his latest collection has a delightful Buck Owens
vibe. Co-writer Wariner provides the stinging guitar licks.
Essential listening.
