Brian Hendrix

Brian Hendrix still writes the old songs that Townes Van Zandt inspired in him. Catchy enough for the modern country audience, but meaningful and poignant as the lyrics that shaped an entire genre.

This is more in the old-timey vein of classic country, about a guy who decided one day to start walking. And he's never stopped. He's picked up the nickname "walk-away Joe." Just a fun little song.
This is a blues song in the truest sense of the world, in terms of rhythm and cadence and melody. I just tried to put my own spin on the sort of blues song that you might hear in the 1950s.
A song about a guy who drinks his problems away, like a lot of people. It's suggested to him that he go to therapy, and he knows a lot of people in therapy. From his perspective, however, he is in therapy, and he's doing just fine. Just a fun drinking song.
A folk song I wrote about a pretty girl who a man views as smart and perceptive, and he really cares for her. He believes that she sees the world in a unique way, but he's upset and confused that she doesn't see how much he cares about her and how good he is for her. In terms of writing, I really love how poetic this came out.
I was a teenager and woke up one night, and a lady was standing over me while I slept. It really got to me. I convinced myself it was just a dream, but it stuck with me for so long, always thinking about that "silver lady" I saw. That's how she looked like to me, and this is just a folk-style song I wrote about what I imagine the "silver lady" to be.
