Corey Colum on his long-awaited new album Patience

Corey Colum emerged into the Australian country music scene in 2009, when he won the Telstra Road to Tamworth competition. He released his debut self-titled album in 2012 – and then we didn’t hear from him for a good long while.

Colum didn’t step away from music so much as releasing music. He’s still been very much playing, and writing. But he also had some other – rather important – things to do like raising a family, and just living life. Colum has a variety of skills in addition to his musical prowess – he’s worked as a truck driver and machine operator, and he’s also a plumber. So while he hasn’t been idle, he’s also looked for the balance in life that has seen him move to Onslow in Western Australia, and it’s this place that inspired his latest single, ‘Get Livin’’ from his second album, Patience, which is out now.

Patience is a portrait of a balanced, interesting life, and includes the song ‘Reasons’, written with Drew McAlister, as well as the title track, which probably speaks for itself! The songs on the album are in the country-rock genre and while they’re the sorts of songs you could cheerfully play at a summer barbecue, they’re also worth a closer listen as Colum gives us those pointers towards how we can, well, get livin’. It’s easy to hear in Colum’s voice on these tracks that he is right where he wants to be, and that also makes for easy listening.
