2004 Update Corey Young has a MySpace page with music clips and updates. For details and contact information, go to the Official Web Site of Corey Young and Zydeco Embrace. (Link updated August 2007) In 2004, Corey Young came out with his third CD and with a new name for his band, now known as the Zydeco Embrace. His triple row accordion in these photos from the Liberty Theater taken April 17, 2004, says "Tex Mex," but the sounds he produces are pure Zydeco. Corey continues to perform at festivals, private parties, and other venues across the region.
