Charley Crockett to release second album of 2024 on 22nd July
Less than three months after the release of his acclaimed album ‘$10 Cowboy’, Charley Crockett is set to release his second album of 2024 this coming Monday, 22nd July. Titled ‘$10 Cowboy Chapter II: Visions of Dallas’, this new release serves as a companion piece to ‘$10 Cowboy’, featuring ten new tracks along with two fan favourites, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ and ‘How Low Can You Go,’ which have never been included in a full-length album. Additionally, Crockett’s rendition of ‘(Ghost) Riders in the Sky’ will appear on the Twisters soundtrack, out tomorrow via Atlantic Records.
“We recorded the songs during the same sessions as $10 Cowboy down at Arlyn Studios in Austin,” Crockett explained. “Could have released a double record. But then Taylor Grace wrote ‘Visions of Dallas’ in a hotel room overlooking that city. She thought about my relationship to Dallas and the great state of Texas in general, and suggested we do a second album where all the songs tie back to Dallas and Texas. The result is ‘Visions of Dallas’.”
Crockett continued, “For a truly independent artist like myself, there are no rules anymore. Why release ‘Visions of Dallas’ now? To indulge myself in artistic freedom. The days of 18-to-24-month release cycles have gone the way of the dinosaur. I’ll have my 14th studio album out next week, and every single one has been released how and when I wanted them to. I see no reason to change now.”
‘$10 Cowboy’ has garnered critical acclaim, debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart upon its release in April. Rolling Stone has dubbed Crockett “a must-see live performer.” His recent performance of ‘Solitary Road’ on BBC’s Later…With Jools Holland was met with praise, as were three sold-out shows at London’s Hoxton Hall earlier this year. Crockett will now headline some of the largest venues of his career on ‘The $10 Cowboy Tour’, including Red Rocks, the Greek Theatre in L.A., the Salt Shed in Chicago, the new Brooklyn Paramount, and two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
