Trent Tomlinson’s new single off his sophomore album will be “Henry Cartwright’s Produce Stand.”  Country girl and I heard Trent sing this at the Wildhorse a month ago and it was pretty good. 

The song is inspired by a local fixture in Tomlinson’s hometown of Kennett, Missouri who sells produce out of his pickup truck. “There was and still is a guy in Kennett, Mo., who sits on the east side of town just past the golf course who has a produce stand,” recalls Tomlinson. “I call it a stand, but really it’s a pickup truck parked halfway in a drainage ditch with the tailgate down and the bed filled with some of the best produce money can buy. The unique thing though is that it’s not your ordinary produce stand. It wasn’t pay-and-go; it was pay-and-listen. If this guy didn’t see you in church the Sunday before, he would tell you all about what you missed. This song is my take on what this fella stood for and his always-tasty produce.”

Trent’s new album, A Guy Like Me, hit’s stands in the fall.
