Cory Morrow
The Man That Tve Been
Morrow Music
With his second full-length re
lease, Cory Morrow has created a
permanent place for himself
among a new generation of up
coming Texan songwriters.
The Man That Tve Been great
ly showcases Morrow’s songwrit
ing abilities.
Morrow does not have the
best singing voice. Rather than
being a hindrance, however.
Morrow’s vocals add character to
his songs.
Besides, what great Texas
troubadour is known for his
singing prowess?
Morrow uses his unique voice
to sing about the traditional an
thems of Texas — drinking, lov
ing and, well, drinking.
With songs like “Stayin’ Out
Late,” “Nashville Blues,” “Big
City Stripper” and his already fa
mous song “Drink One More
Round,” Morrow has made this
album a worthwhile listening
venture.
Morrow even adds a little hu
mor at the end of the album with
his song “Songwriter’s Lament.”
So hold your drinks up high and
toast Cory Morrow. (Grade: B)

booming bass to create the
biggest and most recognizable
tracks off the album.
“Praise You” samples an old
Camilla Yarborough soul record
with a fast piano beat.
“Right Here, Right Now” and
“Gangsta Trippin’” round out
the rest of the album guaran
teed to keep you movin’ all
