American singer-songwriter Charley Crockett is set to make waves once again with his upcoming album ‘$10 Cowboy’, slated for release on April 26th under Thirty Tigers. The album marks Crockett’s 13th studio record, following his critically acclaimed 2022 release ‘Man From Waco’, which propelled him to the forefront of the traditional country and folk music revival.
Fans got a taste of Crockett’s new music with the release of the title track, which he recently performed live on Jimmy Kimmel, showcasing his captivating talent. Hailing from the Rio Grande Valley, Crockett’s journey from busking near New York’s Central Park to headlining prestigious venues like Shepherds Bush Empire and Jazz Cafe speaks volumes about his remarkable rise in the music industry.
A distant relative of American folk hero Davy Crockett, Charley’s musical career has been nothing short of extraordinary. From supporting legends like Willie Nelson to gracing primetime TV appearances, he has solidified his position as one of the hottest independent acts in American music. His upcoming London performances at Hoxton Hall on May 7th & 8th promise to be electrifying nights for fans in the capital.
‘$10 Cowboy’ was crafted during Crockett’s cross-country tour, with raw, personal songs capturing the essence of a nation in transition. Recorded live to tape at Arlyn Studios in Austin, the album features Crockett’s signature storytelling style, accompanied by a stellar lineup of musicians. With influences from Bob Dylan evident throughout the record, Charley explores nuanced songwriting and lyrical depth, offering listeners a glimpse into his evolving artistic journey.
While Crockett didn’t set out to create a themed album, ‘$10 Cowboy’ effortlessly captures the spirit of America through its rich storytelling and soulful melodies. With this latest release, Charley Crockett continues to push the boundaries of traditional country music, cementing his status as a trailblazing artist in the genre.
