The Story Behind Banks of the Trinity
The album’s title and cover both connect to Johnson’s childhood memories of growing up near the Trinity River in East Texas.
“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.
