Crockett travels the "Solitary Road"
Friday, April 5, 2024 – Charley Crockett releases "Solitary Road," a third preview from his upcoming album "$10 Cowboy," today.
The album drops April 26 via Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers. He returns to the road tonight as well, headlining the Grind City Festival in Memphis and heads back to the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday night.
"$10 Cowboy" was recorded at Arlyn Studios in Austin, produced by Crockett and his long-time collaborator Billy Horton. The music was recorded live to tape, with anywhere from 6-12 musicians on each track, giving the songs the feel of a live performance. "The reason I cut it on tape is, when you get the right folks in the room, great players rise to the occasion. When that red light is on and the tape is rolling, you get the magic of a performance."

These dozen tracks were recorded live in the studio, without many overdubs. Crockett claims he was given the freedom to do it his way.
The album is an autobiographical ...
Following closely on the heels of the critically acclaimed "$10 Cowboy," Charley Crockett is back mere months later with another studio collection, "$10 Cowboy Chapter II: Visions of Dallas."
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 ...
The fourth release from Austin-based singer/songwriter (and descendent of American folk hero Davy Crockett) Charley Crockett is an appealing mix of country, rockabilly and soul. Recorded in Memphis at Sam Phillips Recording Service, the studio Phillips established in 1960 after his Sun years, producer Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell) achieves an authentic retro '60s sound throughout. The strongest country tracks are "The Sky's Become Teardrops," which showcases Nathan Fleming on ...
