Listen to ‘One Tear at a Time’ hawn.

“Kont dejjem fan tal-kittieba tal-kanzunetti tul ħajti u dejjem impressjonat kif in-nies imorru fi twemmin kbir biex jiktbu kanzunetti incredibbli ħafna,” jispjega Trevino. “Allura, meta wasal iż-żmien li nrekord dan l-album, għażilt dawk li ħaseb li kienu b'saħħithom fil-kliem u li jidhru fil-waqt ta' sett akustiku. Nawgura li n-nies sewwa jieħdu dawn il-kliem u japprezzaw il-ħila li ġiet magħmula fihom.”

“One Tear at a Time” jinkludi “She Knows My Weaknesses” minn Kent Finlay, “waħda mill-iżbaħ kanzunetti ta' mħabba li qatt smajt u kont naf li trattament akustiku x'jaħdem għaliha,” tliet kanzunetti minn Trevino u tlieta minn Bill Anderson (“Ride About Now,” “I Don't Have Anyplace to Go” u l-bonus track, “I Think I'll Go Somewhere and Cry Myself to Sleep”). " Kont diġà rrekordjajt dik il-kanzunetta 21 sena ilu iżda qatt ma nħarġitha," Trevino jiftaħar. "Iżda meta mort fi stidjo biex nagħmel il-verżjoni akustika malajst qabel li kont verament nixtieq nħarġi l-verżjoni oriġinali, anke jekk kienet ma' band sħiħ." Anderson ta lil Trevino kanzunetta ġdida, "Right About Now," li tirrifletti l-ispirtu tal-album.

Trevino rrekordja wkoll “What if the Tables Were Turned,” li huwa oriġinarjament kiteb għal wieħed mill-eroj tiegħu, Curtis Potter. " Huwa miet qabel ma seta' jirrekordja l-kanzunetta, għalhekk kont nagħmel il-possibbli biex nixtieqlu u nkantaha kif seta' huwa." "Jealously Insane" hija tribut lil figura oħra importanti fil-ħajja ta' Trevino, Johnny Bush. " Huwa kiteb 'Jealously Insane' snin ilu, iżda oriġinarjament kellha biss verse u koru. Fl-aħħar snin, huwa kiteb verse ieħor iżda qatt ma seta' jirrekordjah qabel ma miet fl-2020. Jien probabbilment l-unika persuna barra minnu li taf dawn il-lirici ġodda u sentejt li kien il-doveri tiegħi biex nippreserva dan għalih u ma nħallix jagħmel parti mill-ramel tal-ħin. Li nista' nirrekordja dan il-verse ġdid huwa speċjali ħafna għalija.”

Il-kollezzjoni tinkludi wkoll kanzunetta bluegrass, “Windy City” ma' Dana Cupp fuq il-banjo, u l-verżjoni demo oriġinali tal-kanzunetta titlu, “One Tear at a Time.” " Kont nibniha ma' Guyanne McCall fl-2005 u dak iż-żmien kont tant impenjat meta rrekordjajt id-demo li Guyanne qal, 'my goodness, int qiegħed tikanta ħafna.' Għadni nħobb dik il-verżjoni, għalhekk minflok rirdoppjaha, żiedejt ir-reġistrazzjoni oriġinali fl-album il-ġdid.”

“This will probably be the only album that I do with this acoustic treatment and is a real bucket list project for me,” he explains, “and I filled it with my go-to songs, the ones I’d play if somebody just put a guitar in my hands and said ‘go for it,’ like I’m just sitting in a circle with friends and picking.” “My heart will always belong to honky tonk, but ‘One Tear at a Time’ was made with a different kind of energy so that the lyrics get all the attention.”

A country music old soul since childhood, Trevino’s near-encyclopedic knowledge of classic country artists, songwriters and their music has shaped his career and inspired his fresh take on traditional sounds. Prophetically named after Justin Tubb, his father’s favorite songwriter, Justin recalls, “My parents used to take me with them to honky tonks so by the time I was five or six, I knew I wanted to be a singer for a living. I started taking guitar lessons when I was 7 and at 12 or 13, my dad and I were out looking for gigs. When you’re a teenager, you don’t really think that you’re an ‘old soul,’ but I knew the music I was making was not the music that my friends dug.” Since then, Trevino has released 15 albums, is a highly sought-after producer, received awards for Pure Country Record Producer and Song of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists, a Terry Award for producer of the year and has been named the CMA of Texas Artist of the Year. In 2019, he was named Ameripolitan Male Western Swing Vocalist of the Year in 2024 was presented the Cowtown Society of Western Swing Hall of Fame award.
