USA Today Gives Greg Trooper Thumbs Up

Greg Trooper plays the Narrows Saturday night. Here's what USA Today says about his latest CD:

Greg Trooper, Make It Through This World (* * *) A songwriter who would describe showing love to a hard-hearted girl as being "futile as a prayer" might not be a religious man, but Trooper's songs have the ring of gospel truth. Sure, the organ and the piano testify to each other on Dream Away the Blues, and the slide guitar sways and shouts like a Pentecostal preacher, but mostly it's in the care the Nashville singer/songwriter shows for even his least desirable characters, and in the way they all strive for meaning in their loves and lives. —Brian Mansfield
