Donald Joseph Allcorn (Joey Allcorn) (born November 3, 1980) is an American country singer-songwriter known for blending traditional honky-tonk with alternative country influences.
Donald Joseph Allcorn was born in Columbus, Georgia, on November 3, 1980. He began learning guitar in elementary school. As a child, he listened to Hank Williams who was an early pioneer of country music. His grandmother bought him a guitar, but the guitar went practically untouched for a period of time, until he heard a Hank Williams album belonging to his mother, which inspired him to become a singer-songwriter.[2] At age 17, he won a regional talent show by performing William's "Long Gone Lonesome Blues." [citation needed]
Allcorn began his professional career while he was in high school and college.[3] He also performed at the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, Alabama.[4] His debut album, 50 Years Too Late, was released on October 6, 2006.[2]
Allcorn's second album, All Alone Again, was released in July 2009 through his Blue Yodel label. The album featured musicians Dave Roe, Johnny Hiland, Chris Scruggs, Hank Singer, Lloyd Green, and Don Helms.[5]
His third album, Nothing Left to Prove, was released digitally in 2014[6] and on CD in 2020. The album featured musicians from his previous album, with additional personnel including Sol Philcox and Eddy Dunlap. Col. J.D. Wilkes and Sturgill Simpson also contributed to the album.[citation needed]
