Palo Duro Records

Trent Summar performance review by By Ed Crowell, Austin-American Statesman

Hometown: Nashville, TN

Venue: Broken Spoke, 7 P.M. Saturday

Pre-Show Buzz: A picky co-worker met him at Guero’s the other night and said he was a nice guy. Spoke owner James White heard he was the real thing and rocks out.

High Point: Images of a blond Elvis in his Louisiana Hayride days, legs spread wide and a red jacket flapping before going down on his knees and shaking off his straw cowboy hat. Songs about horses, hand grenades, St. Peter and needing “a gooseneck trailer to haul your love.”

Low point : Begging folks to dance to fast-slow-fast tunes and the few who did getting shown up by an 89-year old Spoke regular.

Afterthoughts: Palo Duro Records should keep pushing this 40-year old speed country artist because he writes songs that Jack Ingram and Pat Green will - and, in fact, did - cover.
