Charlie Crockett releases video in advance of album release on April 20th

Mar 30, 2018

Charley Crockett’s anticipated new full-length album ‘Lonesome As A Shadow’, will be released April 20 via Thirty Togers.

In advance of the release, the album’s new single, “Lil’ Girl’s Name,” is available to stream now having been premiering by No Depression.

Produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Zac Brown) and recorded at Sam Phillip’s Recording in Memphis, TN, “This was an A cappella song at first” Charley explains. “A lot of my best ditties just come to me while walking and I remember being way out in the country when it hit me. I put a Harmony Rocket guitar to it in the studio and a bridge I had written behind a theater in Baton Rouge, LA. It turned into a hot lil’ number”

You  can take a peek at the Texan,  channeling heroes like Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly on his video…

  • “Best Blues Act” – Dallas Observer Music Awards

  • – No Depression
