"Just What I Do" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
Though one of this trio's number sports a cowboy hat, and the group is marketed towards a country audience, Trick Pony's music owes as much to rockabilly and pop-rock as it does to anything coming out of Nashville. Big, twangy guitar riffs abound, as do honky-tonk rhythms that split the difference between vintage Bakersfield and Sun Records.
And if the Wanda Jackson-influenced vocals of Heidi Newfield aren't enough to convince you of Trick Pony's old-school credentials, the group is joined on their version of Johnny Cash's Sun-era classic "Big River" by none other than Waylon Jennings and the Man in Black himself. That said, this is no retro outfit; there's plenty of modern-sounding country-pop that wouldn't sound out of place on the radio next to Alan Jackson or Travis Tritt. Still, it's Trick Pony's sense of history that helps set them apart from the pack.
