"Welcome To Hard Times"
Life’s a casino
I’m telling you
And everybody’s playing
Boys and girls
women children
Me and you
The dice are loaded
And everything’s fixed
Even a hobo would tell you this
Welcome to hard times
And feeling low
Do you like sinning, no?
Well you will before you go
We got lots of gambling
Oh, and we’re telling lies
You’re certainly welcome to hard times
Take a look in my eyes
Tell me what you see
Besides the bright blinking lights
Stretched out in front of me
I wonder if you’ll notice
Would you even care
If I told you my life just isn’t fair
Welcome to hard times
And feeling low
Do you like sinning, no?
Well you will before you go
We got lots of gambling
Oh, and we’re telling lies
You’re certainly welcome to hard times
Yes, hope you’re feeling welcome to hard times

All the hype around Beyoncé’s “country” album and this man has just been putting out bangers for 10 years. Underrated as can be

[@kenfromnj6929]

Don't need to put one person down to elevate another.

[@buggedouts6409]

@@kenfromnj6929yeah but also jumping on a group you had nothing to do with and have trashed only to make 2 songs and more to come in the same lineup. She’s an extreme hypocrite that doesn’t deserve it after trashing country and folk for so long. Also she grew up in Texas I know but she didn’t even grow up in the actual country

[@kenfromnj6929]

@bugged, I could not disagree more. Beyonce is simply amazing. She has performed at the Houston Rodeo multiple times. Nothing fake. Try to be nice.

[@PNWPATRIOT206]

Real talk, all the hype Beyonce is getting should go to Reyna Roberts, she's a real black country women that truly deserves recognition.​@@buggedouts6409

Charley has the "it" factor and seems to be carving his own way trough music. I appreciate what he is doing for country and keeping the true art alive.

Seen him in Amsterdam. He’s a king 👑

[@stagbeetle195]

Man.. This dude is keeping country music real & alive! Thank God for em. (Pop country sucks)

[@westerngroovetv]

I agree. I'm black from the city and i mostly listen to rap music. But i enjoy a multitude of genres. It pisses me off that if i go to a country radio station it sounds so influenced by pop which is heavily influenced by rap. Hearing 808s in country music is jarring. But we have this issue in rap as well. The core rap audience is overlooked in the mainstream to create music that "anyone" can enjoy. Which waters down the genre. Country is made so rap fans can like it. Rap is made so country fans can like it. When you do that you remove the things about the genre that make it unique and distinct. With both genres the only thing that will help is the core fans of the genre really rallying behind the people who are not... afraid to develop the genre, but they maintain the traditional core attributes of the genre.

[@bobk9321]

I just discovered you. I love the steel guitar & piano. If you’re not too big to listen yet don’t depart from the style. You don’t need it in every song, only the ones you can feel. You know what I’m saying. The ones you sing when you’re alone because you feel. Storms of life, walk-in away, here in the real world, does Fort Worth cross your mind, or you look so good in love. THE ones. Keep up the great music. Thank you.

Crockett and The Blue Drifters are always dressed to the 9's and putting on such an awesome show, showcasing true talent and entertainment. I wish they got the same love and recognition that Stephen Sanchez and Leon Bridges get!

Charley Crockett is, and will always be, the man that kept the wild west alive. No disrespect to Sturgill, Vincent Neil and those alike but this is something else!

[@jrsharp]

So excited for this live album! If there was one show from this past year I wish I could have experienced in person, this is it. Cincinnati with Molly Tuttle and Marcus King was awesome, though.

I've got a strong longing for the good ol' days of TNN and live performances from those who likely inspired Charley. Great work!

[@sdasbd66-sy2xl]

love his music

[@noneya972]

He needs to be in grand Ole oprey over jelly and his rolls.

[@JC-jr9hw]

He’s not really old-school country, but he does the schtick really well. If you watch his earlier videos, he had a completely different style. No southern country accent, was playing blues, jazz hip-hop, etc.

[@rockinredneck57]

He still plays blues and jazz mixed with his own country sound. He's found his place in music. It's called Gulf and Western. People on the streets a few years ago probably wouldn't listen to a strong Texas accent. You have to know your audience. He worked hard to get where he is now. He's got no schtick. Just good, honest music.

[@marcosborisiuk]

MAESTRO!!!!!!

Man, that is one great song! Not many artists are actually better live, but he's close. Dang!

[@joeyferber2361]

ruthless cut to the girl in black at 0:45 lol

[@mikemolaro4198]

Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but why does a guy like Charley with such a unique voice still use processing with auto tune during his live performances!? It sucks the character right out of his voice! Now I'm not saying it's extreme processing, and I'm not saying he can't sing. It's the opposite. Check out him performing this same song acoustic on youtube. He voice is great, you hear the character, the nuance etc...why on earth do people prefer the pitch corrected shrink wrap!? It kills the whole vibe and lumps the sound into the crap pop country that everyone else is doing.
