G etting bad grades in an accounting class is not
a life-altering experience for most people. It just
means they will decide to either study harder,
drop the class or do nothing about it at all. When Cory
Morrow got his grades back from his accounting class
es, he decided to make music his life.
“I decided to play music after 1 got my grades back
from my accounting classes at [Texas] Tech,” Morrow
said. “They were bad. 1 decided that accounting was
n’t for me, and besides, the perks and fringe benefits
for playing music are a lot better.”
Tonight at Shadow Canyon, Morrow will be enjoy
ing one of the best fringe benefits of being a musician
— being able to enjoy college life all over again.
“Playing in front of old people is different. I can’t
talk about drinking and things like that too much,”
Morrow said. “Playing in front of college kids, I can
cut loose. 1 remember how it used to be — drinking
and having fun. Doing this 1 can be in college again, 1
can have fun.”
Morrow owes some of the credit for his success to
the college crowds, especially at Texas A&M, where he
got his start playing at The Tap on Wednesday nights.
“We started playing in College Station about three
years ago, maybe more, at The Tap on Wednesday
nights. They completely backed us up and got us in
the door,” Morrow said. “I had been playing in Austin
for a while, but we wanted to expand.”
Morrow said playing to a College Station crowd is
always a positive experience.
“The Aggie crowd is the liveliest crowd. They all
come out to have fun. In other towns, 1 have to work
up the crowd. I don’t know if they (A&M crowds)
come out drunk or just ready to get that way. 1 love
playing there. ”

The crowds are not the only thing from 1 : or b'-T
row is grateful for — he is also gratefulfon ^20 dc
mer student and fellow Texas musicianRc
Keen. Morrow cites Keen, among others,
his greatest influences.
“1 was influenced by Willie, Merle anil
the other classics and Robert Earl Keen,
said. "But mostly Robert Earl Keen. Heg
excited about this kind of music, llovee
he does. 1 love to see how he pulls thecniJ
I get a real kick out of playing with him.”
Morrow has released two albums andkjj
to put together a new album in the next fed
His new album will be live, but hesaidiu
ferent than most live albums.
“Most live albums people will doonlyr
previously unrecorded songs, but mine wi:
ly all unrecorded songs,” Morrow said. “1
will be a larger album, 14 to 15songs-;
some new and some strange covers. 1 wa:
acoustic. We will record it either in Hours
las, but right now we still have a Vl-JT
floating around. Nothing is set."
Morrow said he draws on personale®K'
his songs.
“The other day, my manager waslookv
my songs and he said all 1 ever write
women, and I said, 'that’s because theyaif
big part of my life,”’ Morrow said. “Deepi
side I would like to settle down with onewtf
have children and all of that good stuff.
“I write about being in love and takingadi
of life. I draw a lot from personal experiencf
a song and exaggerate some things to make
song. I am creative up to a point whereit
something I have never done, but
what it is like.”
