Artist description Cory William & The Backwoods Band rides the edge of rock with their powerful country flavored tracks. In one song, "Zodiac" they are reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen or Bryan Adams... in another "Son's Last Remark" one can hear the presence of a Garth Brooks influence. Cory William & The Boys put on one hell of a show... somewhere between George Strait & Billy Joel. If you've never seen them live, then watch for them coming to a town near you... you won't be disappointed. Even if you're not a country fan, or a rock fan, you'll be addicted to the contagious energy the group brings. JOIN THE FAN CLUB TODAY
