Trent Wagler plays his unique style of Alternative Americana Roots Music in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and up and down the East Coast. Journal of a Barefoot Soldier is his debut album and it was a project he took on with two members of the Goldmine Pickers (See them on CDBaby as well). With their help, Trent was able to craft a 10-song many times autobiographical journey through some of the pain and joy of the last few years of his life. "Songs about loss can be beautiful. I think some of the best songs are painful stories. This year I had two friends who committed suicide. So, some of the tunes came out of that." Wagler says. The title song and Hot Steam Rises are insightful and poetic displays of frustration and ache with US wars and foreign policy, but this album will hit everyone with something. Stylistically it moves from Bluegrass to funk to solo singer/songwriter folk seamlessly and beautifully. This is a great album for your collection.

I bought this because I missed Trent et al at a local gig and I was interested in what he sounds like. I am SO glad I bought it, as I just have to put it on in my car for a real feel good feeling. Love the music and lyrics and that voice! Well done lads!

Trent Wagler - Journey of a Barefoot Soldier
author: Rod Armentrout
Honestly, I would have never sought out this CD. However, someone introduced me to the music and I thoroughly enjoy it. From time to time I find a melody or riff playing in my mind - maybe even singing it to myself. To me that's a good sign. Something in the music connects inside, rings true, stays with you.

Loved the breadth of emotion and expression in this CD. Something I think everyone could relate to at some point in their life - and something that lovers of every music genre could appreciate! I went to high school with Trent - and am amazed at how his vocals have matured!!! GREAT CD!
