Nick Cory Young writes and performs indie rock with a touch of twang, sounding like a cross between vintage Wilco, Old 97s & R.E.M. "Crow Got Drunk" by Rochester, NY based musician Nick Cory Young (formerly Nick Young) is both a love letter to 90's alternative rock/alternative country and a tribute to his maternal grandfather George Taylor, the greatest storyteller he ever knew. Recorded, mixed and produced by Dan McLoughlin (Dinosaur Jr, The Push Stars, Weezer) in Hoboken, NJ in just 6 days in March, 2022, the album features 12 songs inspired by Young's love of bands like Old 97s (whose singer Rhett Miller appears on the song "Backwards"), The Lemonheads, R.E.M., The Replacements and Uncle Tupelo.
"A love letter to the music of the 90s that stands with the best of the decade" - Americana-UK
"A dozen gems" -City
"If you, like me, are a fan of mid 90’s alternative rock that wore its allegiance to Neil Young right on its sleeve for all to see and more importantly hear, then Crow Got Drunk is the album for you. I’m talking about bands like The Lemonheads, Soul Asylum, early Wilco and The Old 97s to name just a few. You’ll hear traces of all of these and then some throughout Crow Got Drunk." -Full Time Aesthetic
