The Ballad of Corey Robichaux tells the story of Corey Robichaux, a teenage boy growing up in Larose, Louisiana, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Corey becomes friends with Angela Talbot, the new girl in school, and together they navigate the local music scene, high school, family secrets, and — most treacherous of all — their emotions. The music they play becomes the soundtrack of their lives, building to a terrible crescendo with a life in limbo.
'Ballad is aptly named as it chronicles Corey's first true love. From LCO Junior High to South Lafourche High, Corey's journey through his teen years hits on a number of topics -- 1980s culture, the southeastern Louisiana region (specifically the Bayou Lafourche area), video games, athletics, romance, and rock/metal music.
Music from artists such as Bryan Adams, Whitesnake, Madonna, Queen, and Taylor Dayne appear in 'Ballad.
