[sligo]

The music is just so heartfelt and rich, it's hard to listen to much else. And the videos/short films, are really evocative. He's making all the right choices, seems to me. And btw, I don't listen to hardly any C&W.

So far this is my favorite country album of the year. I would Like to see maybe Charley play with Colter Wall, Charlie Marie, Nick Shoulders, Gabe Lee, or Emily Scott Robinson. That would be a dream of mine. Keep up the amazing work Charley

[MotherOther]

I can't believe how good this guy is

[taylorjhebert]

Charley is special. He is a musician’s musician.

[wyattbreymeyer]

so far charley has put new orleans music into modern context through streaming, he truly is genre bending, and too me the only way to put it is new orleans/west texas sound, because its not just blues, not just country or soul, its an amalgamation of all of them

[liamleonard]

The way he said “that sound I’m getting closer to” gets me real excited to see what else we have yet to hear from Charlie Crockett

[WhiteBuffalo]

They are playing Crockett quite a bit on 96.3 Sun radio here in the Hill country shout out from Granite Shoals Texas

[arielmarie]

I was introduced to you by my boss back in February and I can’t get enough. Literally my favorite artist right now 😍 Fool somebody else has been on repeat every day since it came out!!

[Octane]

This was the first CD I purchased in awhile. The album spoke to me and I just knew I had to support Mr. Crockett, an amazing artist.

[graelenorchard]

My new favorite artist! Keep up the great sounds and keep it deep soul country. A waltz would be great too as we love danceable tunes. Thanks, listen daily
