"Trinity River"
Trinity River, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river sure to get me clean
Trinity River
And it flow because I cry
Sure to keep me honest with everybody tellin' lies
Damp scent of evening hung everywhere
And gamblers turn they cards
Drinkin' on that whiskey hard
The damp scent of evening flows all through my head
I had the sweetest dream
I was floatin' in the river dead
Trinity River, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river sure to get me clean
Trinity River
And it flow because I cry
Sure to keep you honest, even though you're tellin' lies
In this river city
Nothin' ever lasts
Beside the lonesome blues
Steady starin' back at you
In this river city
Of one thing you can be sure
No matter what you got to give
Believe me you gonna give some more
Trinity River, such a dirty little river
But that don't bother me
Dirty little river sure to wash me clean
Trinity River
And it flow because I cry
Sure to keep me honest cause everybody tellin' lies
Trinity River, muddy water risin' up
Trinity River, could never drown me fast enough
Trinity River
And it flow because I cry
Sure to keep you honest even though you're sellin' lies

[@WyattHolmes-pj9wf]

I stand firm when I say he is currently the best country music artist right now

[@soundboxstudio4395]

Yes

[@mikeloper100]

Kinda excited about this Guy. First new artist in 30 years i would buy a ticket for.

[@ready4pullback]

@@mikeloper100 you won’t be disappointed. Saw him live back in December in Durant, OK. It was by far the best show I’ve ever been to- that includes Turnpike Troubadours, Robert Earl Keen, Asleep at the Wheel, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Ryan Bingham, and a host of other great live performers. I felt like I was transported to a 1950’s country gold revue for 3 hours. Every single damn song was just incredible- you could feel the heart and soul pouring out of the band.

[@jgilruth369]

@@mikeloper100 used to listen to "country" in the early 00's and outgrew the sound. Always liked up to the 80's in the genre. CC is one of the only country artists I would buy tickets to see live

[@tedward7086]

I concur, Sir.

[@petermolin9831]

Damn good song, damn good singer, damn good band.

[@personreanimation]

Seen this dude live 6 times and every time, it is amazing. My 8 year old and 4 year old have seen him twice. He is the King.

[@t.thompson8985]

Facts. I've only seen him once but he is amazing live!

[@ryankiblinger3382]

Bob Wills is still the King. But... I love Charley.

[@catmansma]

Well, you are certainly raising your kids right! Teaching the kids good music

[@pb34r46]

Never thought I’d be here.. father of two, listening to a country artist for hours every single day with no signs of slowing down.

[@melodymoon5768]

❤

[@user-is8tx4nz4t]

Me, too! I just heard about him this past Saturday, March 30, 2024. I can't stop! I just ordered this CD from his website!

[@karenputnam9301]

After I saw his show at the Ryman on PBS (in SoCal) I bought 3 of his cds and can't stop listening to them at home and in my truck

[@illeagle8041]

Same. Aside from the likes of Johnny cash I’ve always been a rock and hip hop type but some of these country guys sound close to cashes vibe than what my mom used to listen to. If you haven’t checked out Dirt Miller and Hunter Root I can recommend them enough. Dirts a little on the edgier side with some great guitar and song writing. Hunter is great all around rarely misses

[@mattbliss3548]

The Blue Drifters don't get enough credit. You boys are the Shit! Keep up the good work! 🐎

[@ensinitas]

i was just thinking they're rock solid

[@debishelton9647]

Right?! 😎

[@martinball1643]

Absolutely! Cullen Fox is the real deal

[@annkat100]

I’m 100% with you!! 🎵♥️🐴 Hv tix to see Charley & his band that’s truly “The Shit” 1/19/24 in Denver. Real people can’t help but to relate to all of their talent. My present to myself!! ♥️🎵🐴🔜

[@mattbliss3548]

See you at the Mission!! 🔥🐊 🍻

[@jessicalohmeyer9508]

WOW this jazzy-bluesy country is blowing my mind

[@jojoj3243]

So many genres, so so many genres.

[@bileductable]

He just keeps getting better and better and what a band! Just brilliant

[@93gmc666]

The piano/ trumpet player is a national treasure

[@TheMick777777]

I'm here saw his show on PBS, Charley Crockett at the Ryman. He is our faithful return to actual country music. I am telling my friends on facebook that have been complaining most country now is actually rock. I agree and thanks big time to Charley and his great band!

[@jflago]

Don’t see Charley play lead much. Charley Crockett deserves all the success coming his way! Great songs, great presentation!

[@allrightnow3653]

I listen to this everyday

[@ManWithAName425]

Professional musicians are happy to brag about other musicians' good new records, but if you sound better live than in the studio that earns a reputation FAST. This is so clean...the band deserves every bit of credit for keeping it so tight. Reminds me of Waylon's band in the 70's

[@CORPORAL-dn7nn]

My wife and I drove down to Lubbock a couple of weeks ago and saw this band and I got to say they were the best band that I have seen in a long long time! They absolutely kicked major ass. The best sound in country music today, hands-down in my opinion And the entire band was wearing suits, and that’s just class! They are amazing. Don’t let them come by your area and not see them.

[@susangooch7087]

I drove 5 hours to Nashville for the Ryman show & what a show that was , looking forward to seeing Charley & The Blue Drifters again for the 3rd time in August can’t wait 👏🏻💙🎶Love Charley !! ❤️The Blue Drifters & The Greyhounds are great too !

[@dannypalmer7701]

Very classy and blues! On my mind everday 😂😂😂

[@123phale]

Band 10/10. Charley looking SHARP and performing his best.

[@brendanpersonius]

This performance could not be more perfect

[@BG-nj7kf]

I remember finding him on KZbin about 5 years ago. Instantly loved his music and thought its a shame nobody will ever know who he was because he was so different. Now, here he is at the Ryman! Hell yea!

[@susangooch7087]

Yes 👏🏻. It was truly an honor to be there for Charley’s debut 😊💙🎶🎶🎶

[@Death2Weebs]

The Ryman is trash bro

[@Death2Weebs]

He’d sell twice as many in Deep ellum. Ridglea he’d sell a few tickets

[@kennethgolden9189]

Sounds so good

[@benunderwood8940]

@@Death2Weebs I hate Nashville just as much as the next person but the Ryman is historic bro

[@Nobodyofimportance2u]

From performing on the street for tips, to under the lights at the Ryman. You earned it Brother.

[@johnwibbels4678]

The king supreme is Charley

[@JeffinBville]

Charley Crockett with a full band.... that boy has come a long way!

[@jamesvespoli5480]

This is a GREAT song. On Stolen Jewel and Man From Waco it was awesome, but this right here might be the best version!

[@kathleenmulligan8083]

I agree the tempo s just a bit faster and the groove the band is in is outa sight!

[@toddnelms9476]

Best song on the album in my opinion.

[@kingmagnusmusic]

All the way from Atlanta, Time of the cottonwood trees and July Jackson for me

[@bigmoo3066]

Great tune... country, blues, jazz and swing all rolled into one!

[@kathleenmulligan8083]

Charley’s got all that great music influencing his style. He’s America’s music man.❤️😻☘️

[@sichuancowboy]

Who could possibly downvote such performance and track?

[@jaredneeley5761]

Experiencing this performance in person was otherworldly.

[@johnny_moon]

This is gonna go down as one of most legendary performances in country. #puro956

[@benbrewing3396]

Amazing! Real Country music is still alive and well thanks to CC!

[@debishelton9647]

Just~BLOWN AWAY Charley!! 😎♥

[@eramosat]

Wow. Been listening to this song ever since it was released on satellite radio The Loft, and it never occurred to me that it was a country music artist. Always considered it to be up-tempo jazz! Pretty nice sound. Great to see so many people turned onto it!!

[@alexhaxan]

He just oozes charisma and star power, it's actually insane to watch

[@kathleenmulligan8083]

Charley is ❤️😻☘️a great guy, he’s got a lot of heart and soul

i was there for the live performance of this, god it was amazing

He’s insanely good live. Saw him here in Silver Spring Maryland with my 10 year old son. Needless to say my son counts that as the best night of his life.

[@justmepaigey]

Such a dirty little river... But that don't bother me 💋 Get it Charlie !

[@mizzougrad001]

One of my favorite songs. Such a passive depressive positive chorus.

[@dylansunday5352]

Gonna see him live in august in Oklahoma, Cains ballroom is a sacred venue for country and western among other local Tulsa artists. Charley Crockett is one of the best artists ever, top 5 for me.

[@michaelflores-cuevas7678]

He opened for a Chris Stapleton concert and has to be some of the best country I’ve heard in a while

[@dannypalmer7701]

I saw him on tv.been liking it ever since.😂

I cant!!! This is too fucking pure!! Music man… this is so powerful holy hell. Charley… you and your band man. Love love love love

[@maryannpacheco2163]

What an awesome performer. Love this guy! I'm from Ole Raymondville texas, in the Rio grand Valley. The best memories in my 61years of life are of being with my grandparents and Uncles, aunts, cousins. Sitting on the porch of416 w San Francisco Street, Raymondville Texas. Best timeof my life. I truly Love your style of music young man!

[@Jasonbyrne28]

That drummer is insane.

[@MrCamo]

There are very few performers I’ve seen that provide the high level of showmanship, talent, entertainment and musical ability that Charley does. Billy Strings might be the only one beating him right now. Paul Cauthen puts on a hell of a show too. Charley and his band are extremely good, and you better be DAMN good if you’re going to follow his act.

[@julielemieux9436]

I now can say I LOVE country music honestly with all my heart! (It must be the rockabilly sound and the purity of the souls)

[@toddenglert4815]

Charlie brings something new to music...I like dude

[@quintenjuergens655]

The enthusiasm and heart in this performance is just awe inspiring

[@Cre8vOG]

So glad Charley signed my guitar. He’s already a country music Legend in my eyes!!

Hi Mr. Crockett, this song played live makes me smile every time I hear it. It is a 10 out of 10. Keep on playing. Kind regards from a fan in Germany 🙂

[@catmansma]

I love watching him perform. And...was the horn/keyboards player, playing both at same time? Sure looks like it. Charley is one of a kind. I bet if he still played with an open guitar case in front of him just as a reminder of back in the day, people would still fill it up even after buying tickets to see him. He's the best.
