Charley Crockett to release new album “Lil’ G.L. Presents: Jukebox Charley” in April

Charley Crockett will release his new albumĀ ‘Lilā€™ G.L. Presents: Jukebox Charley’Ā on April 22ndĀ via Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers.

The fourth edition of hisĀ Lilā€™ G.L.Ā tribute series,Ā ‘Jukebox Charley’Ā is another great exampleĀ of how Crockett is enlivening country music by looking back for inspiration and crafting his own singular sound, whether through his own songs or the songs of others.

The new album is produced by Billy Horton and Crockett mines country musicā€™s past and then processes it through hisĀ ā€œGulf & Westernā€ sound – weaving old school blues, R&B, soul, cajun, western swing and other classic touchstones with country. The album features songs written by country legends like Willie Nelson, Tom T. Hall and George Jones and Crockett shines a light on songs from regional acts like Louisianaā€™s Larry Brasso or a deep cut from Red Sovine.

ā€œIā€™ve done a fewĀ Lilā€™ G.L.Ā records now,ā€ says Crockett. ā€œThisĀ ‘Jukebox Charley’Ā LP makes four. I wanted to really stretch out on this one and take some chances. Do something different. We took some risks and laid down a lot of lesser known, more adventurous classics. Hope folks pick up what Iā€™m puttinā€™ down.ā€

The albumā€™s lead single, out now, is Crockettā€™s take on ‘I Feel For You’, a standout from Jerry Reedā€™s 1966 debut albumĀ ‘The Unbelievable Guitar & Voice of Jerry Reed’.
