Crockett, Porter, Schneider unveil new music
Friday, April 26, 2024 – Charley Crockett releases his latest album "$10 Cowboy" via Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers. Crockett wrote the album over a two-month period, as he wound his way across the U.S. on the back of a tour bus. "This material is written at truck stops, it's written at casinos, it's written in the alleys behind the venues, it's written in my truck parked up on South Congress in Austin," said Crockett. "A ramblin' man like me, a genuine transient, is in a pretty damn good position to have something to say about America."
MacKenzie Porter debuts with her full-length disc, "Nobody's Born With A Broken Heart," today on Big Loud Records. The 19-track album examines the different types of heartbreak that have shaped and changed her life. Joey Moi produced the release from the Canadian artist. Porter cracked the U.S. charts with a six-week number one song with Dustin Lynch, the duet "Thinking 'Bout You." Porter is the first female this century to have six No. 1 songs at Canadian country radio.
Broken Bow singer Dylan Schneider is out with his latest EP, "Bad Decisions." The six-track project includes new songs "Carhartt," "Ruin This Town" and "Buy That Girl A Beer." The Indiana native helped write all of the songs. Zach Abend and Lalo Guzman produced the set.

CD reviews
Against the backdrop of the sterile perfection of today's radio-ready country, Charley Crockett's "Age of the Ram" feels like a deep, much-needed breath of fresh air. From the first note of the title track, you sense something rare in modern music: an artist who is genuinely having a blast doing what he loves.
Crockett is a master of atmosphere, creating a cinematic world that feels like a classic 1960s Western. His voice — rich and self-assured — carries a ...
The second volume of the promised "Sagebrush Trilogy" finds Charley Crockett exploring a Muscle Shoals-influenced version of his 'Gulf & Western' country music. Almost evenly split between originals and songs mined from elsewhere, "Dollar A Day" is like many of Crockett's now 17 albums: it engages and it is enjoyable when playing — it just isn't particularly memorable within the context of his expansive discography.
Like many before him, ...
Charlie Crockett is far from an overnight sensation. He's a grinder, having issued 14 independent albums before his major breakthrough in 2024, the Grammy-nominated "$10 Cowboy." He is unstoppable now, releasing "Lonesome Drifter," on a major label with acclaimed co-producer Shooter Jennings alongside. 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 ...
