Easton Corbin: Mercury Records THE charts are now facing a steady flow from a conveyor belt of virtual unknowns.
One such performer debuted with his first album release in Britain at the beginning of the week and already holds the number nine spot in the Billboard Hot Country Songs Charts after 28 weeks.
Florida-born Easton Corbin is making his presence felt across the US with his debut single, A Little More Country Than That, after signing with Mercury Records eight month ago and just released his self-titled debut album.
Influenced by the sounds and songs of Keith Whitley, George Jones and Merle Haggard, he takes songs back to their roots and gives them a brilliant modern feel.
Imagine the styling of modern contemporary music mixing George Strait with Randy Travis and Clint Black and you may find Easton Corbin. Of the 11 album tracks, he penned four and has produced one of the best debuts I’ve heard in a long while. If you like me want to discover a new breath of fresh air in the country treat yourself to Easton Corbin.
