" To hear Corey play the blues is to step back into history to the formative days of the genre, when field hollers mixed with African rhythms, jazz, folklore and even a touch of vaudeville to create something distinctly American. The Panama City musician has his eye on the future. Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, Norman Blake and Doc Watson would be tapping their feet. "

"It’s always great to hear Corey whether he’s playing solo or with a band. His original blues tunes pay tribute to the great pioneers of the blues!"

"Corey Hall has been honing his chops for several years, which you might not believe from his youthful demeanor. But the true vine American folk roots run strong through his music, both in the original songs and his deft performances of the old treasures of the past century. His voice rings true, combined with a preternatural memory for lyrics. I've never seen him look a "cheat sheet" or even a song list once – something that used to be a given, although in this age of the clip-on tablet and short attention spans it's become a rarity. Hearing this songster is invigorating and an inspiration to lovers of this country's musical roots."
-Carrie Hamby

"One very talented musician who can play in a variety of genres ranging from mellow folk to hard rocking psychedelia and old-time Blues. "
