Corey Hall Joins The Mix
Segment 1: Corey Hall performs "The Orange Peel Hop."
The Mix
Local musician, Corey Hall, joined The Mix to perform some of his own music live in the WKGC studio. We got to discuss how Corey started as a musician, the reasons behind the folk-blues style of music he performs and writes about, and the stories behind the originals, “The Orange Peel Hop,” “Away From This,” and “Boy You Gonna Die.”
The first song that Corey played live is titled “The Orange Peel Hop,” and he said it was an ode to Mississippi John Hurt and that he is one of his favorite blues artists. The song has some mentions of Mississippi John Hurt’s songs, but Corey adds his own style to make it his own.
Segment 2: Corey Hall Performs "Away From This."
The Mix
