Love to see him getting recognition from CMT. Such an incredible story, and an even better performer and musician. Draws everyone in to his performance, one of those artists that feels bigger than life watching him live
I have seen a lot of great live performers in my 45 years from pop to country. Charley Crockett is one of the best. so awesome live if you haven't seen him your missing out.
Alright now, Mr Charley! You finally did it, CMT! You can't ignore indie Crockett anymore. Impossible! Charley is legend and a great performer with a few chords, blues, heart, and the truth. Not a bad album in his collection. Stay indie, Charley! ❤❤❤🐊
@@robertbaeza2299 check out some of his other songs, like "big gold mine" is one of my favorites. He's not trying to sound like anyone, he just lives in the wrong time lol
Real country from a real singer who writes his songs from what he sees and feels. Not just a pretty face with a team of songwriters, executives, lawyers and producers. I can’t get enough of this man’s music.
I personally think this is the best version of July Jackson.. checked my Spotify and it turns out ive got 26 songs by Charley saved in my likes, never misses with these hits.
Charley is the absolute REAL DEAL. So glad to see him getting national recognition. I was fortunate to catch him on tour at a small venue in Newport, KY in early 2020 right before the pandemic shut everything down. I think it was less than a year after his open heart surgery and the show was phenomenal. What was even more impressive was the kindness and appreciation he showed his fans. He met, talked with, took photos with and conversed with every fan that was wanting to meet him. When he says he appreciates his fans I truly believe he is sincere. I was also lucky enough to see him at an outdoor venue outside Cincinnati this past summer and he put on another great show. His success is well deserved .
Been a Charley fan for years now ever since The Valley album...he deserves to be as big as any country music star as far as I’m concerned..glad more people are getting to hear him
The $$$ this guy could make the country music industry could make from homeboy.... too bad they're doing whatever the hell it is they're doing...and have been doing for the past 3 decades. - sincerely a country music fan.
My oh my, there are all sorts of people hootin and hollerin about what is and isn't Country. We'll folks ol Charley is producing 100% Country Western!! It is such a delight to see and here a needle in a haystack of musicians. God bless Texas!
I was just listening to Black Sedan today while driving around Wichita and the surrounding area - very fitting! Looking forward to seeing you live for the first time in KC in two weeks.

Charlie I sure love your music it touches my heart makes me feel like I've lived the song and that is true for so many of your tunes God bless you Charlie hope to see you live one day in concert
For the negative comments, he's from Texas and Louisiana. The cradle of some of American music. He's been thru hard times....thru the valley a zillion times and made it out with more blues. It's literally in his blood!! Like most folks, they run from their home but return to their roots when they see themselves. Not sure if some decided to skip over it but he told us. He is R & B country blues period!!! Yall accept country from Australia and Canada while this man's blood is from the ROOTS! I wonder why? The artists of the past have played with styles and image. Was Texas Waylon, Texas Wiille and Hank Sr fake when they incorporate d styles in their music? Nothing weird about it. For the folks searching to find something on him, I see you.
This is country - you can feel the sorrow in his voice and see the pain in his eyes. I feel so privileged to hear his music and, without a doubt, he will be remembered as one of the greats.
He certainly seems headed into more of a western/Americana sound now. Crazy that he went from a more typically successful genre commercially to something that usually makes less money.... the real deal indeed. He plays what he wants to play.
@@cackley4 I would say in general if you listen to his earlier albums he stuck a lot more to r&b (a lot of horns and soulful sounds) whereas now he seems to make half his records a more traditional western sound. To my ears at least.
"She loved it though it really wasn't much, kinda like the way she loved me." Why does this hit so hard? 32 year old man about to cry. I suppose it's because I relate to it. Being weak yet still, my wife chooses to love me.
@@TouchDirt I don't see how he's talented...my parents had a country swing band for years and I play and sing, myself. It seems some are just easily impressed.
When I saw this for the first time I swore it was a cgi video. I was half asleep but thought it was good enough to stay awake to hear. This looks like a scene from fallout or red dead redemption July Jackson’s an awesome song
I have been obsessed with “the son of Davy” for a bit now. I’ve been lucky enough to see him live twice. Mesmerizing isn’t too strong a word! Through Charley, I’ve been exposed to some beautiful country classics.
Saw him perform in fort Smith Arkansas at the peacemaker festival second day. This fine gent came out the gate with "Man from Waco" full spaghetti Western style with horns and strings. Insane. For a moment I thought I was in a Tarantino film 🤣
I got to here John Denver singing at a campfire, in a Canyon in the SW Colorado Rockies. I was up on the canyon top, providing security for a private pack trip. It was a unforgettable evening. I couldn't see the campfire from where i was. But his voice carried up through that canyon like magic.
Charley needs to release an acoustic album. Ya can’t beat his voice with an acoustic guitar. His latest album these tunes came from is his best work to date. Love seeing him shape and fine tune his sound and craft! Best live show to catch!
@@matbla109 I've heard it and love the simplicity, but the lo-fidelity sound to it takes away. I'd like to hear a full HQ sound acoustic album from him.
