Keeping the momentum of the early applause and welcome of his debut single “Beer And The Bible” as an official introduction to the country music scene, Louisiana resident and Nashville country recording artist Corey Davis (Bama Beats) celebrates the release of his sophomore single “When The Devil Took Me”* AVAILABLE NOW via all major digital retail outlets and streaming services (distribution by ONErpm).

The evocative original (written by Davis and produced by Grady James) is a striking recollection of a man’s first encounter with an entrancing woman and a romance that blurs the lines between alluring qualities, both angelic and devilish, much too strong to resist.

Rich in motion, the narrative is intensified by the vivid description of the salty breeze and the heart’s vulnerability tugged by a powerful chemistry. With lines like “I met her on the street where the waves meet the sand” and “She’s hot enough to send you straight to hell,” the lyrics artfully play with the duality of mysticism and a magnetic pull.

“The storyline describes exactly how I felt when I started dating my wife. She took my breath and swept me away at first introduction,” said Davis, who will celebrate his eighth wedding anniversary in just a few weeks. “She’s not the devil, but she’s got the right amount of sass and spunk, mixed with a whole lot of smarts and class that make for the perfect combination.”

The baritone guitar opener sets the mood and opens the door to a masterful contemporary production (Grady James) that accentuates the rich tapestry of classic country combined with southern swamp motifs and dark undertones deepening Davis’ vocal translation as a signature.

The new release, “When The Devil Took Me,” is illustrative of the storyteller’s knack for delivering simplistic and realistic lyrics that paint a crystal-clear picture from a truthful perspective and is a featured track on his six-song CD anticipated in early 2024.

ABOUT COREY DAVIS Corey Davis grew up in Mississippi at the end of a pig trail road located on the banks of the Tenn-Tom waterway. Living a stone’s throw away from his grandparents, as his closest neighbors, he grew up working alongside his dad and granddad in the fields to harvest the next meal and drawing water from a nearby well.

Corey knows the true meaning of rural living and growing up in a small town; a lifestyle and upbringing that shaped the core of his sturdy character. Having lived through, and survived tough times, Corey learned the most important life values (respect, discipline, integrity and love for God); values that resonate at the forefront of his music as wide-open and fearless.

Recognizing first and foremost his father (who was a talented musician and performer in his own right) as his biggest influence in life and in music, followed by Merle Haggard as a country music trendsetter, Corey’s traditional upbringing and outlaw style translates honestly in his songwriting. The self-taught guitar player and drummer’s contemplative, quiet and reserved demeanor enlivens under the stage spotlights like gunpowder and lead with a raw vibrance that explodes with authenticity.

Corey released his debut single, “Beer And The Bible” in September 2023 as an official introduction to the country music scene and his six-song CD is anticipated in early 2024. The track has amassed more than 50,000 Spotify streams to date.
