Tryin' To Start Out Clean was the debut album released by Canadian singer-songwriter Willie P. Bennett and was released as an LP album by his own label, Woodshed Records in 1975 (WS-004).[1][2] The album was recorded and mixed at Thunder Sound, Toronto, January–February, 1975,[3] after Bennett had been playing for some time with his bluegrass group, the Bone China Band.[4] He promoted the songs from the album during his solo performances.[5]

The album contains one of Bennett's best-known songs, "Music In Your Eyes", which was performed live and recorded, separately, by Canadian folk icons Stan Rogers and his brother Garnet Rogers, amongst others. "White Line" was first released as a single in 1969. In 2014, Canadian musician, Peter Thompson, released his album Music in Your Eyes which features Thompson's cover as the opening track.

Bennett re-released the album on compact disc in 2001. The album was digitally remastered by Paul Reiemens at Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, Ontario and released on Bennett's independent label, Bnatural Music. In 2003 it was re-released by Japanese label Air Mail Archive (AIRAC-1038), as part of their "Canadian Singer Songwriters Series Vol. 2", in an LP-style slipcase.
