One of the popular plot lines in a number of current TV shows is about someone with a
regular life who, it turns out, was trained as an assassin/spy/renegade. Then their
memory was wiped so they could live a normal life until some trigger brings back the
badass. There's some parallel to that in musician Trever M. Keith, a resident of
southern California for decades but now living in Nashville. As the front man for Face
to Face, he became an iconic punk rocker (OK, maybe not a "normal" life). His imprint,
though, was the country music surrounding him as a child. That alter ego has now
surfaced and he's about to release an old-school country music album, We Drank From a
Poisoned Well.
The title track is a lazy country shuffle with the pedal steel part flowing through it
like water. It's about a relationship that's become one-sided, but could just as easily
be a commentary about America's social divisiveness despite how much we have in common.
Wretched Bones is a classic country waltz. The searing pedal steel and electric guitar
parts underscore the notion that always putting others needs first carries a high price
in the loss of one's own needs and dreams. Don't Say My Name is a Texas swing number
with a nice walking bass line. The singer realizes the relationship is over, time to
move on, so tells the ex to "pretend I don't exist."
One of the things that surprised me most was the range and warmth of Keith's vocals.
Those characteristics aren't generally highlighted in the punk genre, but you don't
suddenly develop them after 30 years of singing so they, too, have been there all along.
Heartbreak Grin really introduces you to Trever's baritone-to-tenor breadth. Said smile
is really a facade over the pain where "no one ever wins, still you and I pretend."
Right As Rain is a treatise on codependence, first released on a Face to Face record and
now done up in a 60's country music style. Brackish Waters is a Marty Robbins-style
story with a big ol' acoustic guitar sound where the hero dies at the end, except it
turns out he deserved it. There's probably some inspiration in it from Keith's dad, who
was the film editor on a Marty Robbins western movie, The Ballad of a Gunfighter.
When Trever M. Keith decided to exercise his country music muscle, it would have been an
obvious choice to do a cowpunk album. But the punk ethos isn't about compromise, and
frankly, neither is the twangy honky tonk sound of the 60's and 70's. More than one
musician has noted that both genres came out of similar, hard-scrabble lifestyles, one
rural one urban, where hope frequently lays dormant. So maybe it shouldn't come as a
surprise at just how badass a country music singer-songwriter Keith is. You can hear for
yourself on We Drank From a Poisoned Well.
