Move over Toby Keith and Garth Brooks! Country Music has a new face and it belongs to Cory Smith. Smith, a native of Jefferson, Georgia has a way of making country music more appealing to the college age audience. The album Out Takes From The Georgia Theatre has a soulful, hippy, and modern sense of appeal. Smith, who has been playing for 10 years in bars around Athens, Georgia has managed to bridge hip-hop, blues and country music together to provide a new joy in listening to country music.
His music is like a recap of his life in lyric form. On track 13-Party, expresses that partying is the only cure for the daily troubles. He goes on and on with the chorus of Party, Party, Party! I think that we the listeners get it. Smith, also touches on being a young man in love with track14-Let me love you on a back road, brings you to think about the movie ”Sweet Home Alabama” where young love is so innocent , but yet so loving with reckless moments with sex in the car on a dirt road.
As you listen to track 15-F---the PoPo, I’m quickly thinking that he has had a run in with the law at some point in his early adulthood. The vide of the song sends a connection of words mixed a modern sound that is relatable to everyday life among young people.
One can gather that Country Music is taking off to greater heights by providing a more appealing sound to the younger audience, long as Cory Smith keeps his passion of making music.
