"The album that emerged is a series of vignettes about the men in Breedlove's life, living and dead, beloved and infuriating. It spans the AIDS crisis, chosen family, knife collections, and a complicated inheritance of grief that Breedlove transforms, as he always has, into something that makes people laugh and cry at the same time."
"The name Trust Me is striking and a little provocative. Where did that phrase come from, and what does it capture about the themes running through the album? I have a tattoo I drew and got stick-and-poked by Stanya Kahn when we were on the '97 Sisterspit tour. It says, 'Trust me, I'm a doctor,' and the little stick figure looks crazy and has a knife."
Lynn Breedlove continues to write and create music despite personal tragedies, including the murder of his father and stepmother. His debut album, 'Why I Like Dead Guys,' was recorded in the house where the murders occurred, allowing him to connect with his lost loved ones. The album features vignettes about men in Breedlove's life, addressing themes of grief, chosen family, and the AIDS crisis. The title 'Trust Me' reflects a complex relationship with trust and irony, stemming from Breedlove's past experiences and artistic persona.
