Charley Crockett will release his latest album Jukebox Charley this Friday, April 22nd via Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers. The fourth edition of his Lil’ G.L. tribute series, Jukebox Charley is another great example 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. On this new album, produced by Billy Horton, Crockett mines country music’s past and then processes it through his “Gulf & Western” sound – weaving old school blues, R&B, soul, cajun, western swing and other classic touchstones with country. And while the album features songs written by country legends like Willie Nelson, Tom T. Hall and George Jones, Crockett also shines a light on songs from regional acts like Louisiana’s Larry Brasso or a deep cut from Red Sovine. And even when he’s interpreting songs from country legends, Crockett steers toward lesser-known or underappreciated cuts, eschewing staples of the genre.
Crockett has announced UK and European shows for autumn with dates as follows:
October 28 – Workman’s – Dublin
October 30 – Oran Mor – Glasgow
October 31 – Deaf Institute – Manchester
November 1 – Jazz Café – London
November 3 – Yuca – Cologne
November 4 – Quasimodo – Berlin
November 5 – Take Root Festival – Groningen, NL
In the US, Crockett is currently on his (mostly sold out) coast-to-coast headlining “Jukebox Charley” tour, and he will return to Stagecoach Festival next Friday, April 29th. He’s been tapped by Willie Nelson to open a number of US amphitheater shows this summer, and he will also be joining various dates of Nelson’s roving Outlaw Music Festival as well as Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic in Austin, TX. Additionally, Crockett will perform at several other summer festivals including Palomino Festival, Bourbon & Beyond Festival, Peacemaker Music Festival and Moon River Music Festival.
