Charley CrockettA Dollar a Day

Dusty Gulf and Western storytelling, co-produced with Shooter Jennings, swinging between honky-tonk and saloon soul. Tennessee Quick Cash throws a fist at the Nashville machine. Santa Fe Ring ties music-industry battles to post-Civil War land theft, dark and pointed. Lone Star is countrified funk that could score a desert chase. Fifteen tracks, the second chapter of his Sagebrush Trilogy. Crockett works faster and sharper than almost anyone out there. Pour something neat and let it roll.
