"While no other artist to date has taken Dale Watson’s crown as the King of the Haggard/Paycheck/Jones school of Honky-Tonk, Joey Allcorn may well have perfected the Wills/Williams/Tubb genre." - RealCountryMusic.org "It may not be correct to call someone innovative and traditional at the same time but there is no better way I can think of to describe Joey Allcorn. He has a sound that is wholly different from popular country music today but very representative of country music 50 years past. Allcorn is well versed in traditional country music style and he sticks to his roots by writing songs that are humorous, meaningful, and above all else timeless. - MurMur magazine (Savannah, GA) "Ultimately though, it's Allcorn's superlative songwriting that allows him to transcend the revivalist ghetto. Simple but eloquent, full of rustic imagery and eminently memorable melodies, Allcorn's compositions carry on in the tradition of Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. He works within conventions of excellence but expands upon them rather than merely engaging in mimicry. Ranging from mournful ballads to jumpin' rockabilly and swing to unctuous, delta blues-flavored laments, Allcorn experiments with all roots." - Nashville Scene (Nashville, TN) "Joey Allcorn writes and performs songs that could have been played on the fabled stage of the Grand Ol' Opry in its heydays at the Ryman. It's classic country songs with steel guitars, fiddles, lyrics of heartbreak, heaven, hell, and all matters of turmoil in between. - NineBullets.net "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) "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 that fuels that fire." - MetroCountry.co.uk "Singer/songwriter Joey Allcorn ain't at all your typical country music artist. Clad in a white Western-style suit and hat, he looks like he just walked off the Grand Ole Opry stage ... in 1947. With a nasally croon and a dash of hillbilly yodel, he sounds more like a singing cowboy from an episode of the Louisiana Hayride than anyone on the CMT video countdown." - Charleston City paper (Charleston, SC) |
