After nearly three decades on the road, veteran Texas Red Dirt mainstay, Cory Morrow is poised to release his most vulnerable and unflinching record to date. The Letting Go is a collection of songs that offers an intimate glimpse into the life of the seasoned songwriter. It features compositions reminiscent of the early days, "That Song" and "Cocaine and Jesus," alongside grown-up philosophical musings, "Every Moment" and "The Stuff." Like a Cory Morrow live show, the album gracefully meanders from deep introspection to spontaneous dance, tongue in-cheek to life altering truth, heart piercing ballad to tambourine shaking rock-n-roll. It's Morrow at his best - the ringleader of an unpredictable circus calling willing listeners to the front of the stage. Amidst the diverse collection of tunes there is an undercurrent best understood through the lyrics of the title track. And while the truth embodied in "The Letting Go" has universal application, it seems very specific to Morrow. As evidenced in his discography, and in some cases, the news - Cory has navigated his way from frat boy to family man, addiction to sobriety, and from believing in himself to believing in something much larger. "The Letting Go," cowritten with Dalton Domino, captures the desperation, fear, and exhilaration of taking a leap into the great unknown and finding the next version of yourself, something Morrow continues to do in his personal and professional life. Perhaps the most touching sentiment of the project is found in the one outside cut on the record, written by long-time collaborator, producer, and dear friend to Cory, Keith Gattis, who passed away in April of 2023. The inclusion of "Big Hat," alongside "That Song" - the last cowrite for the two - serves as a fitting memorial to the music they created, and time spent together on their musical journey. It stands as a reminder that music can carry both loss and legacy in the same breath. The Letting Go is more than a record. It's an invitation - to release, to trust, to live wide open, to dance in the storms, to laugh in the chaos, and to discover freedom not by holding tighter, but by opening your hands. "I'm letting go. I'm gonna jump head first into something I don't know. With arms stretched wide I'll greet the unknown. Cause I found myself in the letting go."
