Trailer Trash
Spirit Nashville, 2025
8/10
The Nashville singer-songwriter Adam Chaffins tell us tales of American life from the viewpoint of an Appalachian influence via these 5 sincere songs.
The quick and playful spirit of “Living Till My Dying Day” starts with plenty of country rock flavor, and the title track follows with a cozy mood that’s heartfelt and soulful, as Chaffins’ authentic pipes guide the strings and rural flavor.
The middle spot belongs to the “Dive Bar Moses”, where animated keys and frisky drumming complements the colorful storytelling, while “Kentucky Girl” makes great use pedal steel and plenty of rhythmic gestures via the animated delivery.
“Little Bit At A Time” exits, and it benefits from backing female vocals, intricate acoustic guitar and some folk rock sensibilities.
Chaffins is a Kentucky native with some trailer living experience, and he turns those experiences into a really fun and memorable version of modern country.
