September 8, 2011 Corey Smith is looking to be the voice of wayward youth in his new song 'Maybe Next Year.'

July 25, 2011 It's a select group of country artists that can get away with encouraging fans to push 'Drugs' on their friends, but that's exactly what Corey Smith is doing at his website. Fans who share the new 'Drugs' music video get a free download of the just-released song.

Over the past five years, Corey Smith has been building a life and career for himself in the country music industry.
