Compass Records is pleased to announce the new release from Rob Ickes and Trey
Hensley, BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN. The album pairs Rob Ickes, the International
Bluegrass Music Association's 15-time Dobro Player of Year, with rising
singer/guitarist Trey Hensley whom Ickes recently discovered while recording in
the Tri-Cities area of East Tennessee. After collaborating with Hensley on an
album track from Blue Highway’s current release, and inviting him to
guest on some live shows, Ickes was inspired for the two musicians to record a
studio project together. BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN is the result of that effort
and it is a unique project in the way it seamlessly blends contemporary
bluegrass and the spare studio stylings of classic ‘60s and ‘70s
country music.

Hensley’s voice is something of a miracle, a throwback to the great
country singer icons of the genre’s first golden era, at one moment
evoking an early George Jones or Merle Haggard, and at another, Conway Twitty or
Hank Snow. The fact that Hensley is still just in his early 20’s makes
the experience of listening to him even more astounding. His talent has drawn
the attention of more than his fair share of Music Row heavy weights including
Marty Stuart who said: “Trey Hensley is the real deal—I’m
one of his biggest fans.” Dobro master Rob Ickes is the perfect musical
foil to Hensley’s prodigious talent, both as a musician and co-producer.
His Dobro ornaments Hensley’s vocal lines with perfect finesse one moment
and with jaw-dropping fire the next, showing why he is one of the best to ever
pick up the instrument. On the production side of things, Ickes has a solid hand
and deep musical understanding which enables him to draw the connections between
bluegrass and early country to create a cohesive and highly successful end
result. 

The 13-track album includes a hard-driving cover of Billy Joe Shaver’s
masterpiece “Georgia on A Fast Train,” which showcases Trey’s
acoustic guitar chops, “My Way Is The Highway,” an original by Trey
that elicits a classic country vibe, as well as the album’s title track,
which is an elegantly played country shuffle that illustrates just how well
Ickes and Hensley have absorbed the sounds of shared musical influences.

Featuring: Ron Block, Mike Bub, Susanne Cox, John Gardner, Aubrey Haynie, Shawn
Lane, Andy Leftwich, John Randall Stewart, Dan Tyminski and Pete Wasner
