"New Old Trucks" is a song recorded by Canadian country group James Barker Band and American country singer Dierks Bentley.[1] The song was co-written by the band's lead singer and guitarist James Barker along with Casey Brown, Jordan Minton, and Hunter Phelps.[2]
Background
The song's writers, James Barker, Casey Brown, Jordan Minton, and Hunter Phelps joined together for a writing session at Brown's house in Nashville, Tennessee. Both Minton and Phelps had the song title "New Old Trucks" in their notes, with Barker saying "It instantly clicked when we heard that phrase".[3] Barker said the goal when writing the song was "making listeners think of their own first truck, or the one they still drive".[3] A representative of James Barker Band sent a demo of the song to Dierks Bentley who immediately wanted join the song, telling Barker the song reminded him of his Chevrolet truck that he inherited from his father.[3] Barker stated that every lyric in the song was something one of the writers had actually experienced, and the first line was about his first truck.[4]
Critical reception
Logan Miller of Front Porch Music called "New Old Trucks" a "legendary collaboration", and adding that it "fits so well on the radio" and was "sure to see some great airplay on both sides of the border".[4] The Country Note referred to the track as an "anthem for truck enthusiasts".[5] The Reviews Are In described the song as "an ode to old trucks that keep on rolling when everything else changes or breaks or moves on," also calling it "romantic and nostalgic".[6]
