Trey Lewis Soaks Up Sewing Circle
Alabama singer Trey Lewis made a mistake or two when he joined The Troublemakers Knitting Club.
He escaped from the sewing circle but found he had another problem with younger women.
He couldn’t have just one – he liked them too much he had an ode to femme fatales of all ages in his video.
Girl Problem is on his 14 track debut album Troublemaker on River House Records that also features Scared To Death Of Dallas.
It was written by Clinton Larue Landon III, Joe Fox and Seth Ennis and produced by Lewis and Jacob Rice.
“I’ve been a troublemaker my whole life,” Lewis revealed.
“This is a batch of songs that speaks to me and I hope there is something for everyone to relate to here,” says Lewis. “We all start off in different places in life and struggle is real, but so is victory and love. I am grateful for our team and their efforts to make this the best album it can be.”
Trey, 37, grew up in Birmingham and scored infamy with his headline hit Dicked Down In Dallas.
Lewis scored as a songwriter with Cole Swindell’s Three Feet Tall song that tells the personal experience of how Lewis’ parents’ divorce affected him as a young boy.
