New Music | Cory Branan – The No-Hit Wonder

Cory Branan - Nicole C Kibert

[W]hy Cory Branan hasn’t hit it big I’m not really sure, the guy writes fantastic songs, a lot of them are damn catchy and I love most everything I’ve heard from him. I suspect he’s going to catch on more and more, especially with this newest tune, the No Hit Wonder, which may also be a 3rd person perspective on himself, but he collaborated with Craig Finn and Steve Selvidge of the Hold Steady on this one, and I haven’t been able to stop hitting play again. The pounding drums, the driving guitars, and Branan’s regular guy country voice that hits just right for a tune about a journeyman musician trying to find his niche and getting kicked to the dirt over and over again.

Look for The No Hit Wonder (only 13.95 on vinyl if you preorder) to appear on a record with the same title, come August 19 on Bloodshot Records. And while you are waiting, grab his critically acclaimed album MUTT, a big time favorite in my record player.
