Trey Hensley - “Nine Pound Hammer” (Merle Travis cover)

Here’s a little “Travis picking” on my new Nelms custom guitar (Appalachian red spruce top with black walnut back and sides)

[GearJammer]

Dude this is the best cover of any song I've heard yet! His voice reminds me of randy travis and his picking is phenomenal. Really good job there man

[dringled]

There's something so pure about Merle's version of this song.. and you nailed it. Been learning Travis picking for about a year now. This song will be first real attempt at Travis picking and singing. Sitting on top of the world was too hard 😂

I’d like to hear you play That train that carried my girl from town.

[dondennis]

Great job, Merle would definitely approve…

[MegaOmps]

Aaaahr boy I love your covers, always so tasteful and such cleanin pickin! Keep going man!!

[dlafaver]

Jesus man - you killed this song. I’ve been hoping someone would mainstream this style once again!! Keep it up

[brambug]

finally someone who plays this in G just like Merle. 😇 Thanks!

My son and I have watched this dozens of times! Our favorite version of 9 Pound Hammer

[brianstanley]

God gave you a great gift, bless your heart, keep it up ! That’s a good sounding guitar and this end!!

[skpkl]

That is masterful! Very impressive! I have to try that out! It reminds me of doc watson.

[MrPatodon]

Fantastic picking and singing! Bravo, Trey! You are the real thing!

[davidhess]

Always puts a great start to my day when you release one early am. I’ll be humming it all day! Thanks for what you do man. It never fails to inspire me to pick up and play something with strings.

[indianaslim]

Fantastic version, 4 out of 4 stars! Gotta love some Travis

[enthusiasticpaunch]

Ride it til them wheels fall off. That's a sweet sound you make there, brother.

[ranjrog]

Looking forward to seeing you and Rob at Winfield in a couple of days!!

[chrisdevine]

That guitar sounds amazing! Your talent never fails to astound me. And you’re always posting stuff!! I wish I lived near you so I could hear you play all the time! (Now that I typed that it sounds a bit creepy but I swear I’m safe 🤣)

[codysosebee]

Been waiting for this to drop since I saw the tiktok

[Threedot-fabs]

Colter wall does a version of tying knots in the devil's tail, would love your take on that song. Have had this on repeat since you uploaded it

[roromoho]

Great Travispicking, look easy as always ;)
But where is the video you posted where you teach a G lick ?

[markrichardson]

Great Trey, Doc Watson's Deep river blues next 😊
