about

"Crow Got Drunk" by Rochester, NY based musician Nick Cory Young is both a love letter to 90's alternative rock/alternative country and a tribute to his maternal grandfather George Taylor, the greatest storyteller he ever knew. The title itself is a reference to a story he used to tell Young & his siblings as children (please don't tell the ASPCA). As for the 90's alternative rock, it's what made Nick pick up an old classical acoustic guitar at 16 and become a musician in the first place. First there was Nirvana, of course, then R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Lemonheads, Weezer, Soul Asylum, Fountains Of Wayne, the list goes on and on (and on). Eventually, in the mid 90's, he stumbled upon "alternative country" music like Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Wilco, The Jayhawks and Old 97s (FUN FACT: Old 97s' singer Rhett Miller sings harmonies on the song ”Backwards"!!). This genre informed most of Young’s early attempts at songwriting but the catchy melodies and power pop guitars of his teenage years always seemed to permeate through the roots rock core of his music.

Another hugely influential band for Nick was Boston's The Push Stars (Capitol Records) & through some serendipity, luck and exquisite timing, he was able to get the rhythm section of the band (Dan McLoughlin on bass, Ryan MacMillan on drums) to back him for this new collection of songs. He also brought in newly minted Push Star and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Matt Beck (Rosanne Cash, Rob Thomas, Rod Stewart) into the studio as well. Chris Trapper (singer-songwriter of The Push Stars) even contributed his harmonies to the song "Simple See You Later" to complete the circle. And there you have it, Nick made a new album and he’s super excited and proud of it and he thinks you'll really dig it. Or not. That's cool, too.
