"We need truth, man. We just need honesty. You know? Honesty is the simplest thing, but it can be the hardest thing for a human being to look in the mirror and be truthful. And I think that’s what’s going on in 2020. "

The new album from Charley Crockett is perhaps even more potent proof of his literal heartbreak than the scar on his chest. After undergoing open heart surgery that saved his life, Charley says he considered calming down for “just a minute” but once he recovered he did just the opposite. He states boldly with one eyebrow raised, “I wanted to make an album that would change the entire conversation about country music.” http://www.charleycrockett.com
