The fast-rising Texas country singer-songwriter Charley Crockett adds another album to his remarkably consistent catalog with '$10 Cowboy.'
Over the past decade, few musicians have been as dialed in as Charley Crockett. On all fronts, the Texas country singer-songwriter delivers with uncommon consistency: He always looks dapper, in a cool thrift-store outlaw sort of way. He has released one or two albums per year since 2015, all through his own independent label, Son of Davy. His songs never stray too far from their comfort zone, instead finding new ways to fuse country, folk, blues and soul over and over again.
Crockett is a machine, in other words, and that machine has a name: Jukebox Charley—dependable, irresistible and seemingly stocked with an endless supply of terrific tunes. His new full-length,, adds a dozen more to his arsenal, this time inspired and informed by his extensive travels, first as an itinerant young and more recently as a busy touring act.
Elsewhere, Crockett bounces around from sound to sound, mixing country with slinky blues , searing rock ‘n’ roll , moody pop and funky horns . The latter returns to the album’s main theme, expressing both love for and fear of the country he has criss-crossed so many times in his career. “America / You promised / And I’ve been waiting patiently,” he sings, as the song soulfully seethes around him. “America / It’s easy / To get lost in this land.
