The ex-Raider visits College Station tonight, as the opening act for country music legend Willie Nel son at the second annual Phies- ta/MDA benefit concert. Morrow said chance led him to his first experience with music. “I got my first guitar when l was fifteen or sixteen, and I was just messing around with it,” he said. “My stepfather had brought it back from Mexico. He had flipped a quarter [for the guitarj with a guy down there. ” Morrow said his inspiration for becoming a professional musician stemmed from a concert he played with Pat Green. “We got together for our first gig up in Lubbock, the two of us, and after the first show I got done and went to the Taco Cabana,” he said. “I said, ‘Man, this is what I want to do.’” Morrow said his music comes from everyday life. "It . [inspiration] comes from everywhere,” he said. "[With] a lot of it. I’ll think of life and exagger ate it. Some of it is totally real, and some of it is made up. “I like to put myself in an imag inary position: I’ll create a charac ter in my head and try to place him in another time or something, and imagine every detail of what it would [be] like to be that person.” Morrow said despite his rival- school upbringing, he enjoys play ing in College Station. “We go wherever people like to hear us, and we normally get a good response out of these guys [in College Station],” he said. “I actu ally love the Aggies, because they’re some of the best crowds we ever have.” Morrow said one of his greatest influences is the man he is opening for tonight — Willie Nelson. “He’s just a neat guy and has some amazing material,” Morrow said. “I opened up for him once before, and I walked up and said, ‘Hey, I’m the guy who opened up for you, or opened for the guy who opened up for you.’ He said, ‘Well, it’s nice to meet you. How.’d you do?’ Nobody ever asks me how I did.” Morrow said he strives to cre ate a sound that can not be clas sified easily. PHOTO COURTESY OF COS' Cory Morrow will be playing tonight at the Wolf Pen Creek Amp! "I don’t know if there’s an actu al sound I want to acquire,” he said. “I would like to be able to play pretty much all kinds {of music] — be able to write swings to rockers to two-steps to waltzes. "I don’t want to limit myself at all. That’s another place that l feel (was] influenced by Willie (Nel son]. He put out all these different alburns, different kinds of sounds. He’s not afraid of trying anything, and he makes it all sound pretty good. That’s where I want to take myself to, whatever level I feel like doing at that time.” Morrow said he approaches a live performance as a chance to sell his character, not just his music. “When you go to a live show, people are paying money to see you and find out who you are,” he said. “My theory on the whole thing is that people go there to have a good time, and if they leave think ing that wasn’t worth the money, then you screwed up. “I want them leaving thinking that [the show] was worth every penny and more, and I had a blast, got drunk and this girl that I never met kissed me or took off her top or whatever. ” Morrow said he tries to: the audience in his perfot and not just play his songs “I’m working really han: ing to get the crowd involv said. “I’ll tell them a little si to make them ljugh a bit them know thaiJ’muptheri I’m having as much iun as possibly have.” Morrow said ctovid /as are not the only onesw® stay happy. “I’ve been workingiti about the past six monthse: to find a way to stay happ) time, no matter what.’hesj long as you know inyourhe you’re doing the right ihi it’s all going to pan out in — that attitude is somethii have basically developed quired since I started i Morrow said his persons make this a difficult task. “I think that a lot of arts that kind of mentality,” “They either get reallyde? or really happy. I tried way to keep just above tin um, so that you’re kindol all the time. That’s what’sc! about me. My ups and dm not as dramatic.” OUTBACK Steakhouse Open at Noon Sundays 2102 S.
