Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley (from the album World Full of Blues available on Compass Records)
Keeping their brand of Bluegrass in the mix, Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley offer a new release, World Full of Blues, making sure the soundtrack for their album title claim comes with a pedigree as the pair welcome Folk Blues icon, Taj Mahal, into the song. Keeping the mood in Blues time, “Suzanne” tells its tale on a percolated groove as World Full of Blues counts “Thirty Days” on a rambunctious rhythm, tenderly strumming memories into “There’s Always Something to Remind Me of You”, and welcoming Vince Gill in for a version of Grateful Dead’s “Brown-Eyed Women”.
Rob Ickes grew up in San Francisco, California, discovering the dobro in his teens and moving to Nashville to seek session work. Going on to take home fifteen IBMA awards for Dobro Player of the Year, Rob was playing dobro in Earl Scruggs’ band when the Bluegrass legend brought a young Trey Hensley up to perform on guitar. Years later, Rob Ickes ran across an older, more seasoned player and formed a duo. The friendships and family ties of a traveling troubadour become the storyline for “Both Ends of My Rainbow” as World Full of Blues begins its song cycle with opening cut “Born with the Blues” taking its music on the road. Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley give a honky tonk tune a cabaret makeover for “Nobody Can Tell Me I Can’t” and showcase master-class playing for “The Fatal Shore” as World Full of Blues exits the album taking “Rugged Road” over a path of runaway beats and fast-paced playing.
