Though Charley Crockett grew up on hip-hop, he quickly fell head over cowboy heels for the blues, country, jazz and gospel at the heart of popular music and, over the course of his four albums, has built an ardent following with his retro, rootsy style that blends Southern soul with Western twang and a frontiersman’s lyrical sense of wanderlust.

His latest album Lonesome as a Shadow was released to much critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone Country painting it as “a more soulful side of the traditional roots-based sound that Crockett first honed as a street performer in New Orleans.”
