It can be said that the enormous appeal of Country Music, particularly great Australian country music, is the realness and genuineness of the artists and their songs, Songs that touch on blue collar themes, core values, family, everyday challenges and triumphs, mateship and stories that celebrate the great country we live in. Corey's Colum's self-titled debut album touches on all of these things and like so many great Australian songwriters, he's as real as it gets, He had a traditional family upbringing in Bunbury, Western Australian, living with mum, dad and his brother & sister and was brought up on core values and hard work. Corey Colum has teamed up with premier Australian songwriters Colin Buchanan, Matt Scullion, James Gillard and the producer of his debut album, the multi award winning Garth Porter, Australian country superstar Lee Kernaghan is also a co-writer on one of the tracks.
