Chanteur Country US né le 1er Mai 1972 à Houston (Texas).
Singer/songwriter
Cory Morrow was born and raised
in Texas, and he's become a local legend in the Lone Star State, producing a
handful of self-released albums and playing an endless string of shows from
Amarillo to Corpus Christi that have made him a major attraction in the
Southwest. Morrow was born in
Houston on May 1, 1971, and began learning to play guitar when he was 15 on an
instrument his stepfather won in a coin toss in a Mexican border town.
Originally a fan of hard rock acts like
ZZ Top and Led Zeppelin,
Morrow started writing songs
while in high school, but while studying at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, he
developed a taste for Lone Star singer/songwriters such as
Ray Wylie Hubbard and
Robert Earl Keen, and struck up a friendship will fellow aspiring
songwriter
Pat Green.
Morrow's songs evolved into a
more rootsy and personal style, and in 1993 he relocated to Austin in hopes of
launching a career as a musician. In 1997,
Morrow released an EP on his own
Write On record label, Texas Time Travellin', and he issued his first full-length
album later the same year. The Texas-based independent label Watermelon Records
signed Morrow and issued his
second album, The Man That I Have Been,
in 1999, but the company soon went bankrupt and the album quickly fell out of
print. (Morrow later reissued it
on Write On.) Morrow bounced back
in 2001 with a live album, Double
Exposure, and the strength of his live show and willingness to tour
endlessly through the Southwest helped him build a large and loyal Texas
following.
Morrow's college buddy
Pat Green had been following a similar path with even greater success,
and Morrow enjoyed a career boost
when
Green recruited him to help record an album of classic country covers,
Songs We Wish We'd Written.
Morrow continued to record and
tour at a frantic pace, and eventually he moved 200,000 discs in Texas through
his own label, but in January 2005
Morrow's career hit a serious bump when he was arrested for drunk driving
and possession of cocaine after being pulled over by police while driving 100
miles per hour. Morrow was able
to strike a plea bargain that reduced the DUI charge to a misdemeanor, and drug
charges were dropped due to the small amount of cocaine found, but the brush
with the law had a serious effect on
Morrow; he cleaned up his act, began focusing on his spiritual side, and
began dating a woman who would soon become his fiancée.
In 2008, Morrow released
Vagrants and Kings; featuring
several songs affirming his renewed faith in his own rough-and-tumble way, the
album received nationwide distribution under a new deal with Universal's Sustain
label, but it turned out to be a one-album deal. In 2010
Morrow issued the Ramblin' Man EP,
and followed it with the full-length
Brand New Me, issued by Write On through Ampex Records. The EP hit the
top spot on Texas music chart, while the album hit number 20 on the Heatseekers
chart, also doing well enough to place at number 49 on the country albums chart
thanks in large part to its single, "Lead Me On." He followed it with two
different Live at Billy Bob's Texas
sets -- one electric, one acoustic -- in 2012. The plugged-in date sold better
and reached the Top 40 on the Heatseekers chart.
Morrow cut his next studio date
at East Austin's 12th Street Sound and Zone Recording Studio in nearby Dripping
Springs. He emerged with The Good Fight,
a 15-song set issued by Write On through Thirty Tigers. It was released June 16,
2015 and scored well inside the Top 50 on the country albums chart and the Top
40 on the digital country chart, and it hit number 19 on Heatseekers.
