Corey Baum is the singer and guitarist for the Austin country outfit Croy & The Boys, whose Adrian Quesada-produced debut hit a nice sweet spot late last year. Baum originally hails from Ohio, but his songwriting owes a debt to Doug Sahm. He’s able to stew together both Texan and Mexican influences in a respectful and celebratory way, and Baum’s guest DJ set is a true celebration too. Over the course of the hour, Baum goes from a pot-smoking teenager hooked on psychedelia to a Houston rap acolyte. Tune in on Saturday, January 21 or listen anytime at the bottom of the page.
