Having been a fan of this Memphis/Mississippi Musician's gritty poetry for some time, I sprung for the $15 cover to see him live in a line up of a triag of performers, including Joey Cape, former lead of the punk band Lagwagon,and Jon Snodgrass of Drag the River (a band out of Colorado).
What might one expect from a live Cory Branan performance? A somewhat, modest and approachable country boy in ripped jeans and a sleeveless t-shirt, flops and an acoustic guitar. But once on stage, Cory's persona isn't quite so simple. He surprises and rocks the intimate Jacksonville crowd using his own spoken poetry -- infused with passion and wild and whirling guitar licks. Though he ain't the fastest album producer in the South, his songs are worth the wait.
Check out his album, The Hell You Say or www.myspace.com/corybranan
