JOEY ALLCORN

"Fifty Years Too Late"

For release:

October 13th, 2006

(Austin, Tx) Columbus, Georgia native Joey Allcorn has released his long awaited full length debut album "Fifty Years Too Late". The album showcases Allcorn's stellar songwriting and vocal talents with 13 original tunes including the autobiographical title track. Allcorn is a once in a lifetime artist who's promise and potential is tangible and obvious. His vocal and songwriting abilities are aced only by his stage presence and his passion for the music genre that fuels that fire. Guests on the album include Hank III (vocals on This Ain't Montgomery), Those Poor Bastards (Graveyard Bound) as well as the talents of Donnie Herron, fiddle (BR549, Bob Dylan) Andy Gibson, steel guitar (Hank Williams III) guitar master Johnny Hiland, and legendary country pianist Walter Cunningham.

What they're saying:

"Retro country artists playing up the outlaw image with lazy drawls, baritone vocals, sleepy rhythms, undertaker duds and an obvious fixation on Luke The Drifter. His tunes are about murder, cheating, drinking and jail in no particular order. When a guy in his early 20's wears Webb Pierce duds, publicly bemoans the proliferation of "candy ass pop music" and gives his albums titles like "50 Years Too Late," it's easy to see where he's coming from." - Connect Savannah (Savannah, GA)

"Allcorn loves him some classic honky tonk, and even though Wayne 'The Train' Hancock staked out similar territory a decade ago, there aren't enough of these Hank Williams-styled American twangers to go around." - Creative Loafing (Atlanta, GA)

Georgia’s native Joey Allcorn was physically born at least fifty years too late. But his soul might as well have been born back when the good old ones did. Influenced by the biggest Country voices, song writers and musicians of our mistreated Country past, Allcorn has also learned to be himself and managed to listen to all kinds of music. He is leaving his own legacy around. Somewhere between Nirvana and Faron Young you will find Joey Allcorn’s amazing Honky Tonk music. - Esther Berlanga (All About Country)

Joey Allcorn’s musical contributions are right on the mark and right on time. He’s also gifted with enough raw talent to get noticed and the tenacity and energy it’ll take to make sure that it happens....I came across a quote not too long ago about the impact that certain artists have had on the face of country music: “Hank Williams modernized it. Johnny Cash personalized it. And Buck Owens electrified it.” I’d like to add, if given a chance, Joey Allcorn may very well resuscitate it. (Take Country Back)

I hear Hank/Luke the Drifter, Hank Jr, Hank III and even some touch of the Legendary Jimmy Rodgers - but most of all I hear Joey Allcorn - Robert Ackerman
