With one foot on the ground and one off a cliff, the Knoxville, Tennessee, native weaves songs from roots country influence and a fair helping of life lessons. With his 2017 studio EP, The Cloud Peak Wilderness, Corum cracked open a sentimental vein and set it to freewheeling acoustic sounds. His 2021 record, Peace on the Plains, pulls that sentimental thread and spins it stronger, expanding into thick and spacious rhythms. With every new tune, Taylor Corum proves to be a storyteller whose unapologetically classic style shoots straight from the heart.
