Living In A Song [LP], Rob Ickes / Hensley,Trey, Vinyl

American roots music has seen it's fair share of beloved duos over the years from The Monroe Brothers and Flatt & Scruggs to modern-day pairs like Milk Carton Kids and The War and Treaty but few leave audiences as amazed as Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley. Built on the interplay of Ickes's Dobro and Hensley's six-string guitar, the only thing outshining the virtuosity of this group's instrumental performances is their singing and songwriting prowess. Living In A Song features ten co-written tunes that focus on a classic country sound and serve as an in-depth look at the wonderful interplay between two masters of their craft.On Living In A Song, Ickes and Hensley showcase their songwriting chops in a set of 12 songs, 5 of which they co-wrote with GRAMMY award-winning producer Brent Maher (The Judds, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson). In classic Nashville fashion, the threesome hashed out some 30 songs before picking the dozen that would make up Living In A Song. Paying homage to the troubadours that shaped the Nashville sound, the duo made the conscious decision to lean the music in a classic country direction stylistically, with elements of Americana and bluegrass thrown in for good measure.
