The Story Behind Banks of the Trinity
“On this album, I wanted to tell the story about my childhood,” Cody said. “When I heard the song ‘Banks Of The Trinity’ for the first time, it was like this portrait showed in my head of memories that I had honestly forgotten. It just took me back home to Sebastopol, Texas, where I grew up on the Trinity River. I had tears in my eyes when I heard it for the first time.”
The album’s cover image is a photo of Lawrence’s Grocery Store in Sebastopol. As a kid, Cody would ride his bike two miles down an old dirt road to get a cream soda and a Blue Bell ice cream bar. He loved listening to the old men talk for a while before riding back home with a basket of groceries.
