Canadian Cowboy Crooner Corb Lund
Corb Lund is a Canadian country and western singer-songwriter from Taber, Alberta, Canada. He has released twelve albums, three of which are certified gold. Lund tours regularly in Canada, the United States and Australia, and has received several awards in Canada and abroad.
We've been fans of Corb Lund for many years. So when given the opportunity to sit down face to face we jumped at the chance. We were in Vegas at the NFR and Corb was performing at the Westgate Hotel and Casino, so we took advantage. What a great interview. I think you will enjoy it as much as we did.
