Star-Studded Collection Includes Collaborations With Molly Tuttle, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Steve Wariner and Vince Gill
Nashville, Tenn. – The wait is over. Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and guitarist Trey Hensley’s highly anticipated solo studio album, Can’t Outrun The Blues, is officially out today on all digital and streaming platforms via Pinecastle Records. The 10-song collection marks a defining moment in Hensley’s career and features standout collaborations with Molly Tuttle, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Steve Wariner and Vince Gill, showcasing both his deep roots and wide-ranging musical reach. Fans can download, stream or purchase a copy of the project HERE.
Produced by legendary hitmaker Brent Maher (The Judds, Kenny Rogers, Merle Haggard), Can’t Outrun The Blues pairs Hensley’s electrifying guitar work and commanding vocals with a stacked lineup of world-class musicians. The album blends Bluegrass, Americana and traditional Country influences into a cohesive, guitar-driven statement that is both timeless and fresh. Momentum surrounding the release has been building rapidly, with Hensley kicking promotional efforts into high gear through recent appearances on WSM’s Coffee, Country & Cody and the nationally syndicated Big D & Bubba show, plus much more on the horizon. Tonight (Friday, March 6), he returns to the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage before heading home to Jonesborough, Tennessee for a special hometown album release celebration this weekend.
The current single, “Tucson,” continues its strong climb at radio, recently breaking into the Top Five on the Bluegrass charts following the chart-topping success of the album’s title track. Penned solely by Hensley, “Tucson” is a driving, straight-ahead Bluegrass story song built around a longtime guitar riff and cinematic outlaw narrative. The momentum follows “Can’t Outrun The Blues,” which reached No. 1 on the Bluegrass radio charts, marking Hensley’s first solo chart-topper and setting the stage for this landmark release. Other highlights include the hard-hitting Americana/Bluegrass recording “Going And Gone” featuring Molly Tuttle and the Country-inspired remake of Neil Young’s “Unknown Legend” with heartfelt harmony vocals from Vince Gill.
A two-time IBMA Guitar Player of the Year, Hensley first gained widespread acclaim as one half of the celebrated duo Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley before stepping confidently into his solo chapter. He earned a Grammy Award as a member of Taj Mahal’s Swingin’ Live at the Church in Tulsa and has built a reputation as one of the most electrifying performers in modern roots music. Looking ahead, 2026 promises to be a banner year, with appearances scheduled at MerleFest in April, a trip to Italy in May, and several shows supporting legendary guitarist Tommy Emmanuel this summer (see upcoming tour dates below).
