About Charley Crockett:
Charley Crockett, a true descendant of Davy Crockett, was born in a poor town in deep South Texas. His early years were spent between Texas and Louisiana, raised by a blues singing single mother in Dallas, and an uncle who introduced him to the big brass sound of the French Quarter in New Orleans where he would later learn how to play guitar as a street performer. In 2009, Crockett showed up in New York City, where he made a living captivating subway car audiences for several years before being discovered and offered a record deal as part of the street group "Trainrobbers." Deciding to take his chances in a rapidly changing music industry, Charley declined the offer and headed west to California instead. Of mixed Jewish/White/Creole dissent, he has a unique sound blending a rich and diverse heritage of both new and traditional music. Crockett has been compared to many artists from Bill Withers and Jerry Lee Lewis to Dr. John and Citizen Cope. Elusive, rebellious and self taught, Crockett is a true street made original from earlier times.

Zero irony, 100% soul, and sound that is TIMELESS.

[@grail68]

He's so passionate. And he has an encyclopedic knowledge of classic country music.

[@wyattserviss4585]

“Alt Country” Nah you got it wrong, this IS country

[@farmerwithashotgun8623]

YESSIR !!!

[@aschen__]

amen, brother

[@sjm1922]

Came to say the same

[@kirstieisakoolkid]

Exactly. Most of that stuff they play on the radio is pop music. THIS is country music.

[@Colinshreds69]

truth

[@legacyDline]

Jesus Christ this man’s voice could soothe a raging bull.

[@benholmes5142]

Never loved anyone’s music more in this generation than Charley Crockett’s

[@Auntkekebaby]

The truth

[@LightningGlass]

This is real. Johnny and Hank are flashing before my eyes.

[@robertomendez187]

The best.

[@jamesbaka1206]

This is real country. Not that crap they play on the radio now a days

[@yellosubmareen]

May your curse become a blessing. There ain’t nothin else to do

[@CFJONROJAS]

My 2 year old daughter LOVES him. Her and I listen to him together very often in the car. It’s great.

[@OurVinyl]

Coolest 2 year old on the planet!!

[@alexblack4145]

Seen him twice now. He is a legend. Damn near shed a single tear to this version of the valley

[@Auntkekebaby]

Yall make SURE to by this album!! Show the love. It's hard to find this level of real ess right now. I play it everyday. ❤

[@OurVinyl]

We couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!

Whoever color graded this video.... KUDOS.

[@OurVinyl]

Thanks for the kind words! Appreciated!

[@ccvee7287]

This guy is going to be a star

[@OurVinyl]

Agreed!

[@MaximusWolfe]

Too bad. Stardom tends to rob these brilliant types of their edge.

[@markforshey6155]

They get polished. We fall in love with that raw, rough cut sound and feel. I measure them all with my foot. If it goes to tapping.......well, that's a damn good sign. Only a well written song will draw me in. This is doing it for me.

[@GMBGFX1]

I’d say he already his lol

[@leggacysurfing5901]

If only everyone enjoyed actual talent and not computer beats

[@brandont.3978]

ICONIC

[@bailycrockett3365]

Playing his music to my 15 hour old daughter. Yes 15 hours. Soothed ole girl to sleep too 😎

[@hudsonpallett6184]

Congrats on the daughter, hope all is well

[@Phoenix-rising]

My best wishes to you and your family.

[@siddunn4033]

Goddamn I love charley.

[@johnwibbels4678]

Can make you pause. Charlie is under rated. This is genuine talent. Get down Charlie ❤

[@OurVinyl]

So glad you enjoyed this, thanks for watching!

[@tylerrichardson6530]

I just came across Charley less than a week ago. His songs are filling my speakers and my earbuds at work. This man is nothing but talent and class.

[@OurVinyl]

That is amazing! Thanks so much for your comment.

[@dwdorris3048]

Bout time!

[@BobL56]

I’m hooked.

[@whiporwilllooms9075]

I’ve been devouring all of the Charlie Crockett I can find. He’s in my top favorite new artists I’ve found in the past 5 years. I discovered him thru gems on vhs while I was devouring “lost dig street band” I heard seven come 11 abd was hooked. The first song in this compilation “the valley” gets me choked up every-time. His soul really shines thru his music , “may your curse become a blessing, there ain’t nothing else to do” some of the best lines every written. The country greats of yester-year would give this man a standing ovation. Thank goodness for his music in these dark times. I think I speak for all of us when I say “Much respect Mr. Crockett , forever Grateful you turned that pain into something that helps us all!”

[@OurVinyl]

This is great! So cool to hear you discovered Charley through our friend Gems on VHS!

[@Arturo.Juarez]

There’s something about his voice that I can’t explain, it’s like I heard it before but it’s different. It’s familiar but it’s unique. I can hear him sing all day

[@treytonlillymusic5632]

His voice reminds alot of charley pride

[@seanmendez124]

@@treytonlillymusic5632 I can see it. Just more flexible

[@pbenson56fran]

[@MIGHTYKRAKEN666]

Woody guthrie

[@illukangermanviking2244]

Not only that, his art as he sings the song, his gestures and facial expressions when he looks up from his guitar. I feel like he's sitting right in front of me playing the song just for me

[@ARolls-dd2zd]

"May your curse become a blessing, there ain't nothing else to do." " Your mind is a garden and your thoughts are the seeds, you can grow flowers or you can grow weeds." One profound thought deserves another.😊

[@boltofhawk]

Charley's a damned treasure.

[@OurVinyl]

Could not agree more, Casey. Could not agree more.

[@pbenson56fran]

May your curse become a blessing ain't nothing else to do. Wow, what a line.

[@shanefraser980]

So underrated and under appreciated.. your music is amazing I’m 28 yrs old and I grew up with my papa being my father figure and I grew up on music just like this. ❤️❤️

[@OurVinyl]

Thanks for listening, Shane! And shoutout to your papa for introducing you to such great music.

[@Phillygthemessenger]

Me and you both brother. I'm 31, and grew up with this after my father died. My grandpa took over, and I couldn't be more grateful for a man.

[@oldsoundz]

After 2 months of obsessing and daily listening I am fortunate enough to see him tonight. Hoping he plays this one. Great album.

[@OurVinyl]

Nice! Hope you enjoyed the live show!

[@brianmcmullen4270]

Yessir! I listen to him every damn day haha I was fortunate to see him on my birthday and got a pic, he’s also coming to my state on 4/20 which I’m definitely excited for haha

[@jefffoggymountainworkshop5021]

Charlie has the voice of old time dusty traveling balladeer. A reincarnation of an old time cowboy storyteller. Love it man! Keep making this music and telling those stories....

[@rottenrobbie66]

Charlie Crockett is Alan Lomax Library of Congress caliber of Americana authentic music. As real as it gets. And not just country , he is multi genre.

[@sarahbarkerhuhn348]

Best version of Nine Pound Hammer I've ever heard.

[@OurVinyl]

Charley does it like no one else, that's for sure.

[@mfort8487]

it really is

[@Auntkekebaby]

Yes. It is!!

[@TehKuno]

incredible

[@ganjatoker898]

Charley crockett is the first country artist that made me go full in. He is authentic and a real artist. "Everything I have i earned" that mentality is what im talking about. Can't wait to catch him live

[@jonnyweiss2292]

I’m a Charley Crockett Fan! Jonny Weiss “Hello Texas.” 🎶

[@parkera1667]

Damn, 9 Pound Hammer is amazing! Thank you Charley, absolutely beautiful.

[@jgbuff04]

If you haven't listened to his version of Jamestown Ferry, i highly suggest you do...its amazing

[@TehKuno]

man I thought the same thing.

[@jessediaz3880]

Country radio stations should be ashamed for not giving this man air time! It’s pitiful how bubblegum pop music with twang passes for country music...

[@OurVinyl]

Thanks for watching! We are here to give these artists a platform for more exposure.

[@pbenson56fran]

I just realize he was playing the banjo. Love seeing the guys play with him.

[@skizzy718]

Only artist I know that sounds better live than he does on his albums absolutely incredible

[@OurVinyl]

We're so passionate about capturing these authentic live moments, especially for artists like Charley. Thanks for listening!

[@STAIND12300]

Saw him 5 years ago in Dallas. He opened up for St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Let's just say he stole the show for me. Love his music

[@delaneykerr8040]

[@theguitarjohnshow]

One of my favorite new artists I'm really impressed with his sound as a musician and Songwriter Charlie Crockett has got it

[@stbny4444]

[@vgarza1972]

Sounds like somebody likes country.......

[@grasshoppergillian2379]

100% agree

[@vladimirvaynkhadler8726]

then you like country dummy

[@djhero0071]

The beautiful thing about music is that no matter how much you hate a certain genre, there will ALWAYS be at least one song from it that’ll catch your attention or make you interested. Genres are too wide and varied for you to not find SOMETHING you like. Might take some time but there’s always something.

[@paullanyi516]

Fabulous . . Great Voice ! This Is Guuuud Stuff !
