Crockett, Nelson make the world go round

Tuesday, January 2, 2024 – Charley Crockett and Willie Nelson started the new year by releasing a duet, "That's What Makes The World Go Around."

The laid back two-beat swing was co-written by Crockett, Kullen Fox, Rich Brotherton and Taylor Grace. Crockett and Nelson trade verses throughout, telling the story of a woman pulled between late nights and simple pleasures like watching "children in the street / out there playing right up til night fall."

]="Willie called me up, said he was out at Pedernales cuttin', and asked if I had any songs ready he could jump on," said Crockett. "I told him I had plenty. Hung up the phone, drove out to Billy Horton's place and wrote a couple on the spot. We fired 'em off to Spicewood where he sang and took a ride on one that very next day. When I heard him come in singing on his first line, I shed a tear. Then his leads on Trigger hit, and I was crying."

Crockett will return to Australia for a 13-date headline tour beginning Jan. 27. Ahead of the Australian tour, Crockett will play two shows at the 3,950 capacity Mission Ballroom in Denver on January 18-19. In 2024, Crockett has also confirmed appearances at Stagecoach, Moon Crush Festival, Buckeye Country Superfest, FloydFest, Two Step Inn and Avetts at the Beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico with the Avett Brothers.

Despite the name, this doesn't feel like a sequel. Although they were recorded during the same sessions, the songs from this new collection are a bit removed stylistically. Sure, this is still Crockett's signature blend of Texas-flavored country and blues, but there was a ...
CD review - The Border Willie Nelson has released more than 150 albums in his career, including four in the past two years. All this while approaching and surpassing the age of 90. Of all his many solo recordings, "The Border" ranks as one of his best. The songs are fresh, sincere, and full of energy and have many of the elements that fans expect from Ol' Willie - his unmistakable vocals, the trademark lead guitar work on his iconic axe, Trigger, and harmonica support from his 50-plus year bandmate, Mickey Raphael. ...
CD review - Bluegrass Willie Nelson has a winner. How could it not be? It features some of the greatest songs in music history and some of the finest bluegrass players in the business. Most of all, it centers around Willie Nelson, one of the most iconic artists in the history of music, who at 90, has given bluegrass treatment to some of his favorite musical creations. Songs on "Bluegrass" include some of his most recognized, including "Good Hearted Woman" (co-written with Waylon Jennings), "On ...
