“Cobra Wolf”, a tag-team effort by Cory Branan and Jon Snodgrass, isn’t a new release; however, I think it has its place being reviewed. I’m not sure that “Cobra Wolf” is even the title of this record… I’m also not sure it isn’t. But I digress…
Jon and Cory, with their lyrical depth and openly honest style, fit together like whiskey and bacon. The one-two punch delivered across your ears by Jon’s “So Excitable” and Cory’s “The Corner” assures you you’ve found your new favorite record.
There’s enough smoky rasp on this record to give a person throat cancer. The two men weave an acoustic quilt that puts you front and center for this stripped down collaboration. Having seen both performers several times, a turn-flip-turn of this album is as close to their live show as you could. If there is a flaw to be found on this album it’s that it isn’t a double LP.
“Cobra Wolf” by Cory Branan and Jon Snodgrass is a COMPLETE BUY for any general fans of Folk, Country, Singer / Songwriter.
NOTE: don’t search “Cobra Wolf” because you probably won’t find the record. But you’ll know which record it is by the cover art.
