Branan has a great knack for harnessing the energy of a song — knowing when to dip into the low register, with its raspy notes and lack of volume, and when to take things up a notch — and you can even hear it in the lyrics. These songs are burning with wit and charm. The lyrics resonate somewhat more in a lo-fi buzz. I think the reason I enjoyed this more than I thought I would is because it reminds me of Frank Turner so much. Each track offers something that I enjoyed. I love the couplet: His lyrics are offbeat and fun, and most of all, you hear in his voice a man very much enjoying his craft.

But when Branan gets introspective. I think the reason I enjoyed this more than I thought I would is because it reminds me of Frank Turner so much.
Sonngs track offers something that I enjoyed. My initial thoughts when seeing the name Cory Branan was that I was in for some good old country music. It had an enormous impact in how I approached my own attempts at being a singer-songwriter and pretty much every creative endeavor I would task myself with for years to come.

He is just as quick to crowd the microphone as he is to completely abandon it in lieu of projecting his voice as loud as he possibly can. I look forward to learning more corh Cory Branan because he has a rare gift.
The lyrics resonate somewhat more in a lo-fi buzz.
The label says 12 Songs. A mastery of dynamics goes a long way. Do I like it?
There is a delicate framework at play with the songwriting of Cory Branan. Vivid and raucous and funny as hell, this one is gonna get some serous rotation on my next westbound road trip. Performing alongside his friends in Lucero, Branan broke the hearts of everyone in attendance. I love the couplet: This is an album that demands to be brahan to.
Issue #13: 12 Songs by Cory Branan
They bounce off each other nicely, not confusing the elements from song to song, and it all left songx wanting more instead of over staying its welcome. Yes, without a doubt. Like Turner, Cory Branan offers something different with each track. The guitar playing is exquisite and feels elevating.

It comes in at literally the half-way point of the record and it gives you a jolt of energy after three morose tunes that lets you know there is still juice left in the record. My first introduction to him was through a live performance at Nanci Raygun in His lyrics are offbeat and fun, and most of all, you hear in his voice a man very much enjoying his craft.
One is a wild, rowdy party where everyone is sonngs harder than they should be and the light is giving everything a halo.
And if anything, I enjoy the experience of knowing that my first interview to ever be published by RVA Coey was with Branan and set a lot of things in motion as far as my path towards music journalism. A complementary part of this really thoughtful whole that Branan has assembled.
What we find is scruffy little box of 45s, whiskey and sonys soaked from tumbling around the resting place of Elvis and Jeff Buckley. Dynamics are all about control. In what ended up being a long wait, Branan finally released a follow-up to 12 Songs in In coru aftermath of listening to 12 Songsthere are two very distinct notions on opposing ends of the spectrum. The arrangement fills out slowly but remains resolutely mournful. It matches the mood of the song in such a way that it sets the visionary qualities of Branan even further above many of his creative peers.
What I can say about this album is that it does not drag and it does not bore. The record is an eclectic bundle of songs that veer from straight rock to folk brajan blues with just a smattering of country thrown in for good measure.

However, this record has definitely hit me at a deeper place than I ever expected.
