This is Episode 119 and our guest for the second time is Cory Branan. Y’all, Cory is one of my all time favorite musicians. He is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Memphis whose career has meant so much to so many. His latest record is on a ton of best of 2022 lists. It’s called When I Go I Ghost and I think it is the best thing he has done. The record features such guests as Garrison Starr, Jason Isbell, and Brian Fallon, and Eric Slick among others. It is a special piece of art and I am grateful for the opportunity to pick Cory’s brain about how this wonderful album came together.
The Marinade with Jason Earle Episode 7 | Cory Branan and Jon Snodgrass
Wolf and Cobra belly flop into The Marinade! This is our silliest episode to date and a dream come true. Cory Branan and Jon Snodgrass are two of our all-time favorite songwriters. Branan's new record Adioswas released in 2017 and is one of our favorite records of the year. Snodgrass is best known for his work with Drag the River but also has an excellent solo catalog as well as work with the bands Scorpios and Armchair Martian. We joke about Jon's indecipherable emails and proclivity for 'playing' drums, dive deep into political waters, and discuss the creative process for each of these brilliant writers.
