FULL EPISODE – Resurrected Corduroy Brown rising with feel-good Appalachian rock

Corduroy Brown⁠ was so ill with COVID during the pandemic, he was airlifted from Huntington, W.Va., to more advanced medical facilities in Morgantown. During the helicopter ride, he died. 

Fortunately, quick work from the EMTs revived him. He survived and experienced something most people don’t: A glimpse of what’s on the other side. It changed his outlook on life and his music, which has taken off since.

Brown released a gripping and powerful solo album called ⁠Let Me Know⁠ in 2021 after he fully recovered. It has propelled him from small gigs to opening for headline acts like Everclear and Hoobastank, as well as some headline and featured spots at some nice music festivals throughout the region.

Brown joined us on Roots Music Rambler to talk about his path to music, his actual death experience, how that changed his music and what’s next. (Hint: New album news nested in this episodes!) Needless to say, we all left the conversation excited about Corduroy Brown, what’s to come, and life in general.

Frank also grilled Falls on his lucky selection to Tyler Childers’ secret pop-up concert at Dinosaur World in July, and both share their pics for new music recommendations in the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment.
