• Though one of this trios number sports a cowboy hat, and the group is marketed towards a country audience, Trick Ponys music owes as much to rockabilly and pop-rock as it does to anything coming out of Nashville. Big, twangy guitar riffs abound, as do honky-tonk rhythms that split the difference between vintage Bakersfield and Sun Records.
• And if the Wanda Jackson-influenced vocals of Heidi Newfield arent enough to convince you of Trick Ponys old-school credentials, the group is joined on their version of Johnny Cashs Sun-era classic "Big River" by none other than Waylon Jennings and the Man in Black himself. That said, this is no retro outfit; theres plenty of modern-sounding country-pop that wouldnt sound out of place on the radio next to Alan Jackson or Travis Tritt. Still, its Trick Ponys sense of history that helps set them apart from the pack.
