Austin, Texas is known worldwide for the reverence its music scene holds for classic country music. And no Austin artist is a greater devotee of genuine country music than Justin Trevino. The singer and bass player (who is blind from birth) began playing the Central Texas honky-tonks and dancehalls in his teens, winning over fans with his rich and soaring tenor voice. In recent years he's been heard playing bass and opening shows for the legendary Johnny Bush and appearing on album and stage with Austin sensations The Cornell Hurd Band in addition to his own albums and shows.

The Scene of the Crying, Trevino's second Lone Star Records album, finds the multitalented artist echoing the golden years of country music with a modern savvy, and joined by some famed guests. Rockabilly queen Wanda Jackson teams up with Trevino for a duet on her song "What Have We Done," while Grand Ole Opry veteran and Louisiana music pioneer Jimmy C. Newman makes a rare recorded appearance with Trevino, sharing vocals on "Daydreaming." The rest of the album is rounded out by songs made famous by George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Connie Smith, Johnny Cash and Mel Tillis alongside new material that recalls the time when the Grand Ole Opry was truly grand. Rich with songs of heartbreak, longing, tragedy and honkytonking, The Scene of the Crying is real country music for the new Millennium, sung by one of the most masterful new voices to emerge in years.
