Charley Crockett - "Lesson In Depression" (Official Video)

[@papawoody9597]

Charley is the kind of guy who could wear the loudest Nudie suit you ever saw and drive a Cadillac with steer horns on the hood, and pull it off. This man is authentic country.

[@gregsilsby6884]

Amen.

[@devoidbmx1]

I don’t disagree, but look at earlier videos of him playing in subways in NY. Wearing a beanie and urban street clothes. Not saying he ain’t country (he is from Texas after all), but certainly a big part of it is put on to portray a character.

[@MikeyPaxton]

@@devoidbmx1 True to an extent. We are all searching for ourselves and express that through our appearance. Contrary to cliché, clothes do not make the man.

[@zacharytaylor3054]

@@devoidbmx1 Hey get your ass outta this bar, pal! I was a similar vagrant/"dirty kid", and sorry, but wow, we are all the same until we start flying solo, and then we all go insane and wear cool clothes while murdering folk, country, or folkrapcountry if requested... for the low low price of a dollar.. Usually people just walk past you even when you absolutely know that it sounded killer, or maybe even, rippin'.. Basically.. Son, you have no clue exactly where this man came from. Hes not just country, hes hardcore, but would never admit to it. Oh, and yes, we ALL play music. All.

[@DingDongDaddyFromDumas933]

@@devoidbmx1 That's a bit bizarre a young man goes to NYC and wears a beanie and jeans oh boy howdy hot dog he is a character.... Stop dudes more authentic than any country singer going today.

[@johnfoster4356]

I would consider Charley “retro” country. However, I think he is actually a 1960s singer who somehow found his way to the 21st century to save country music!

[@Username35345]

It’s normally defined as neotraditional country, but yeah he emphasizes a lot of the old country styles in his music and looks. Some of his songs even have the Bakersfield sound to them, which is really cool. Charley knows how to bounce between a lot of different subsets of country and he kicks ass at it.

[@sevens8954]

The world’s falling apart and Charley stays dressed up and singing. God bless.

If you haven't heard more of charley, listen to his other music. Real country is still alive, it's just hard to find. Nashville country has gone to hell

[@charlesmchoop3007]

If you like Country & don't want to listen to crap anymore try here on KZbin the Channels "GemsOnVHS" & "WesternAF". Maybe there some new artist you may like etc. Recommend you Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Benjamin Tod, Lost Dog Street Band, Sierra Elisabeth Farell, Willy Watson etc.

On behalf of James Hand, thank you for all the nice comments about this song. He would be very honored by them. He was very honored when other folks knew the words to one of his songs. He told me that gave him the most satisfaction of being a singer/songwriter.

Saw him live at Willie's Picnic in 2005 (I think? Somewhere around there anyway) and became an instant fan. I love that Charley Crocket brought some awareness to his music. Always loved Banks of the Brazos and Baby Baby Babt

[@lownds_8249]

Damn your style with the steel guitar and piano in some songs with that voice. I feel like I’m in the early 70s rippin Route 66 in an old muscle car just pondering life. Thank you for making real country and time warping us all 🔥⚡️
