CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Trent Willmon's sophomore bolt from the chutes not only bears out the promise of his 2004 debut, but proves him to be a more solid artist than some folks might have thought. The West Texas native cowrote seven of the eleven songs, which draw on his own life as a creek-bank philosopher, real-life cowboy, and father. For that reason, perhaps, Willmon never sounds forced or inauthentic in romancing about Shiner Bock, fishing gear, and an iced down Iglou cooler, or building a Chris LeDoux-like song around the easy camaraderie of a roping pen. He comes across as a man who solidly knows who and what he is, even if it's a jilted lover hoping to revive a dead-end romance ("On Again Tonight"). As a stylist, the traditionalist seldom veers from form, his voice as durable yet as plain as a pair of blue Wranglers. Yet try as he might, he's not really the right singer for his own "Louisiana Rain," a scorchingly passionate R&B song of loneliness and desire. But elsewhere, particularly on the funny cheating song "Surprise," Willmon proves a fine guide to his material, taking great pleasure in life's guilty--and simple--pleasures. --Alanna Nash Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA strong sophomore album DanD | 06/13/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Trent Willmon is the real deal--a Texan cowboy who sings and writes with the best of them. It's unusual, then, that his second album comes off as a bit unfulfilling. Now, please note, this is merely when compared to his self-titled debut, which was a solid album--one of the best debut records I've heard. A LITTLE MORE LIVIN' is still a great record, it just crosses territory we've seen too often before. I won't concern myself (or you) with the album's weaknesses--really, there aren't many. Let's instead deal with the strengths. Willmon's singing is incredible--he does use more range on this album, belting out some lines like a true-born crooner. And certain material on here lets him do that without being cheesy--songs such as "On Again Tonight," the bluesy "Louisiana Rain," and the powerful story-song "Good Horses to Ride." "So Am I" is a genuinely touching love song, while "Sometimes I Miss Ya" and, to a lesser extent, "Surprise" strike you in the funny bone. "Ropin' Pen" is a good lil' rocker, while "Island" again displays Willmon's ability to sing a love song and sound genuine (a knack a lot of contemporary artists don't have). Trent Willmon's second release, A LITTLE MORE LIVIN', continues the solid country music featured on his self-titled debut. Willmon's songwriting is still heartfelt and true--sometimes a bit hokey, but it's probably intentional--and his singing is better than most of his peers. This is a strong country album, whose only flaw is the lack of originality featured in some (but not all) of the songs. Still...if you liked Willmon's debut record, or if you just like your country music sung by someone who's lived it, then you'll enjoy A LITTLE MORE LIVIN'. Here's to a long and fruitful career for a great country arist." England think this guy is great! Mr. Noel A. Ingham | Leeds, Yorkshire United Kingdom | 06/26/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I visited the states last year and was lucky enough to spend an evening at the Grand Old Opry. Trent Willmon was on the bill. I liked his singing so much I bought his debut album from the Opry shop and brought it home to the U.K. It has been played constantly since. I sent to Amazon.com for his latest album because it was not available in England. I received it within 1 week and once again it is been played all the time. I love the great lyrics and country feel to his music and can't wait for the next one." My current favorite CD Jill S. Baum | Tempe, AZ | 10/08/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I loved this CD! I don't think there's a bad song on it, although I especially like On Again Tonight, Love Shouldn't Have to Be So Hard, and Louisiana Rain, which is a *terrific* blues song!. Close on the heels of those three, Sometimes I Miss Ya, The Ropin' Pen, Good Horses to Ride (a great story song, a little reminiscent of some Garth songs). The rest of the songs are close behind - the uptempo Good One Comin' On, and a funny Surprise are good country rockers. This is the CD most likely to be found in my CD player now@"
