Branan says. “There’s just something about it, when I see a white guy with an acoustic guitar get on stage, I’m like: ‘Oh frick, I’m about to hear about this guy’s feelings.’ I try to subvert that at every chance.”

If you're a fan of alt country/folk/americana, this guy is becoming a house hold name with his new album. he's extremely entertaining live, telling stories with his self depreciating humor.

This is what CMT would sound like if Tom Waits and John Prine had staged a hostile takeover of the network back in the 90's.

Noisey/Vice review

A Cory Branan live show is an experience. The man who says he’s never played a song the same way twice gravitates towards the dramatic on stage. He punishes guitar strings, stops and starts mid-song, stomps the stage, teeters between melody and strained growls. Plus, he’s a storyteller, both in his songs and between them. Anyone who’s seen Branan a few times has heard the yarn he spins about eating fried chicken and dunking a basketball over 12-year-olds on an 8-foot goal. But it never ceases to entertain. Branan is a showman, through and through.

Branan has slowly but steadily proven that he's capable of winning over the hearts and minds of Americana's surest devotees with music that deserves true devotion. Given the chance, "The No-Hit Wonder" could become a wonder of another sort.

The album includes contributions from Jason Isbell, Caitlin Rose, Tim Easton and Craig Finn and Steve Selvidge of the Hold Steady.
