From high school teacher to rock star, Corey Smith’s booze-fueled lyrics, accompanied by his country and blues style, make us glad he opted for a career change. The Georgia boy’s hit “Twenty-One” is a fan favorite. His most recent studio album, 2011’s The Broken Record, made it to number 17 on the U.S. Country Charts. House of Blues, 4640 U.S. 17 South.
