Corey Smith and Shane Hines And The Trance at Rams Head Live
Want to feel nostalgic and sentimental about those keg-slammin', football-game-attendin' college days before they're even over? That seems to be the appeal of Georgia songwriter Corey Smith, who, according to his bio, honed his sweepingly earnest acoustic tunes at keg parties at the University of Georgia. Live recordings from Athens' Georgia Theatre capture the sounds of a crowd belting fanatically along with his lyrics. Unlike many similarly dull singer-songwriters aiming at that college crowd, Smith is of and for it, strumming and crooning fondly in a way that reminds us that even Busch Light-stained meatheads can have hearts of gold.
