His most recent recording, Born to Be Wilder, showcases his most potent persona, performing live. The Evening Muse (Shukla)

"Corky?" Sounds like somebody into wine. At any rate, thanks, Hunter! WW

Yeah what is corky? Is that a cross between cocky and quirky? I do kind of like it if that is the case.

Kind of swaggeringly sarcastic.

Yeah, methinks the writer meant "quirky." Here's what Merriam-Webster gives for "corky":

1 : resembling cork
2 : having an unpleasant odor and taste (as from a tainted cork) <corky wine>

Or else the reviewer knows something about WW that we don't. 8-)

In dog-show circles, the term 'corky' is also refers to a critter that's "lively and active." Webb's certainly no canine, but he's definitely lively and active! Maybe the writer's into dogs?
