COREY KENT TALKS ABOUT NAMING NEW ALBUM “BLACKTOP” (AUDIO & VIDEO)
Corey Kent’s new album Blacktop will be released on Friday, June 2nd, 2023.
“So I chose to call my debut record Blacktop because when I started recording the songs that made up this record, the first two I recorded when I was still working at a pavement company in Dallas, Texas. The world was still kind of shut down and I had to do what I had to do to provide for my family. I had a wife and three kids, and music wasn’t an option. So I went to work at this pavement company. And I’m so thankful for the opportunity. I don’t know what I would have done without it. And it’s really just like a tribute to that season of my life that helped me put food on the table for my family helped me keep things going until I could get back on the road on the Blacktop, full time, music, van, and trailer pounding the pavement. And it just felt like the right common theme to call the record. There’s no lyric in any song that references blacktop or anything like that. But it embodied the spirit of what created this project and it’s just my journey.“
