Corey Kent on “Wild As Her,” Parker McCollum vs. Koe Wetzel & The Voice

Country music star Corey Kent joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a conversation rooted in hard work, small-town values, and the moments that changed everything. Corey takes us through his journey, from getting fired in the music industry and working on a paving crew during COVID, to the life-changing success of his hit song “Wild as Her.” He opens up about writing music in rural settings surrounded by family, and how growing up around duck blinds, motorcycles, and high school sports shaped who he is today. We also dive into his experience on The Voice, including some behind-the-scenes moments, touring with Jason Aldean, and the story behind “Empty Words.” From setbacks to sold-out shows, Corey Kent’s story is all about resilience, grit, and staying true to your roots.
