THIS WEEK'S FEATURED ARTIST • CORY MORROW Cory Morrow born and raised in Houston Texas, started playing guitar at Memorial High when he was 15 on an instrument his stepfather won in a coin toss in a Mexican border town. He continued to develop as a musician while attendingTexas Tech where he became friends with another student by the name of Pat Green. Shortly thereafter they had their 1st single TEXAS ON MY MIND which went to #1 on the charts. After college, Cory packed up his Hat, Boots, and Guitar and moved to Nashville to pursue his dream of becoming a Country Artist. He tried pitching his music however Nashville didn't like his style, so Cory headed back to Texas to get back to his roots where he had his next big hit NASHVILLE BLUES. 20 years later he is now a Texas Legend as he sings about strippers and Jesus with equal fervor. From the beer soaked days of his early career, to today’s more sober and spiritual leg of the journey, one thing about Morrow has never changed, "as goes Cory’s life, goes Cory’s songs" and that’s never been more evident than on his Latest CD “Whiskey & Pride”.

This fan favorite is quickly rising to the top of the charts ALWAYS & FOREVER
