Charley is the kind of guy who could wear the loudest Nudie suit you ever saw and drive a Cadillac with steer horns on the hood, and pull it off. This man is authentic country.
I don’t disagree, but look at earlier videos of him playing in subways in NY. Wearing a beanie and urban street clothes. Not saying he ain’t country (he is from Texas after all), but certainly a big part of it is put on to portray a character.
@@devoidbmx1 True to an extent. We are all searching for ourselves and express that through our appearance. Contrary to cliché, clothes do not make the man.
@@devoidbmx1 Hey get your ass outta this bar, pal! I was a similar vagrant/"dirty kid", and sorry, but wow, we are all the same until we start flying solo, and then we all go insane and wear cool clothes while murdering folk, country, or folkrapcountry if requested... for the low low price of a dollar.. Usually people just walk past you even when you absolutely know that it sounded killer, or maybe even, rippin'.. Basically.. Son, you have no clue exactly where this man came from. Hes not just country, hes hardcore, but would never admit to it. Oh, and yes, we ALL play music. All.
@@devoidbmx1 That's a bit bizarre a young man goes to NYC and wears a beanie and jeans oh boy howdy hot dog he is a character.... Stop dudes more authentic than any country singer going today.
I would consider Charley “retro” country. However, I think he is actually a 1960s singer who somehow found his way to the 21st century to save country music!
It’s normally defined as neotraditional country, but yeah he emphasizes a lot of the old country styles in his music and looks. Some of his songs even have the Bakersfield sound to them, which is really cool. Charley knows how to bounce between a lot of different subsets of country and he kicks ass at it.
Idk if I’d call him original per se. He sounds VERY much like singers of the past. However, that’s why I love him so much and always come back for more 🙂 His song writing is pretty original! Vocal tone, not really. Still the king though haha
I listened to the "country" station on the way to town today. Almost an hour drive. Every song was pure garbage. Then tonight at 10:30 I hear this. The real thing.
If you haven't heard more of charley, listen to his other music. Real country is still alive, it's just hard to find. Nashville country has gone to hell
If you like Country & don't want to listen to crap anymore try here on RUclips the Channels "GemsOnVHS" & "WesternAF". Maybe there some new artist you may like etc. Recommend you Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Benjamin Tod, Lost Dog Street Band, Sierra Elisabeth Farell, Willy Watson etc.
I love that I can hear music for the first time that sounds the same as the music grandpa used to play. I know the money I pay to buy your music doesn’t lay your bills but we really do appreciate you’re music
Im a mexican dude raised on mexican music such as Chalino Sanchez RIP and texas raised listening to dj screw and them...im your fan man 👍 I love all your music Charlie. Thanks you man💯💯💯💯
Same my G ....born and raised in Humboldt county on a weed farm to hardworking Mexican folks ...our county is 90 percent white .. crazy logger breed and fisherman and farmers 🪴🪴....trump 2024
Thank the Heaven's above for Charley Crockett. Swanky swagger, steel pedal guitar, and smooth vocals. Him, Sturgill, Whitey, Morgan Wade, Childers, Wall, and more are still proving there's country music in this world...
On behalf of James Hand, thank you for all the nice comments about this song. He would be very honored by them. He was very honored when other folks knew the words to one of his songs. He told me that gave him the most satisfaction of being a singer/songwriter.
Saw him live at Willie's Picnic in 2005 (I think? Somewhere around there anyway) and became an instant fan. I love that Charley Crocket brought some awareness to his music. Always loved Banks of the Brazos and Baby Baby Babt
Damn your style with the steel guitar and piano in some songs with that voice. I feel like I’m in the early 70s rippin Route 66 in an old muscle car just pondering life. Thank you for making real country and time warping us all 🔥⚡️
Charley between you, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, and a couple others this California boy who has disliked county for most of their time on Earth is slowly being converted to appreciate and enjoy this music. Thank you for helping to open my mind back up.
How can you not be a fan of this man in one way or another If you don’t like his style of music You love his voice if not His killer vintage style If not his rebellion through tradition If not then you’ll love his nostalgic videos If not then you’ll love his pretty face and smile If not you’re insane
Alot of people look at Charley's act and say oh yah cool... but it's not an act. I been on the same runs he has and that rambling life is rough. It's fun and it's what we live for. He's the 1 in a million that made the grade 💯
Mr Crockett my wife and I have been trying for years to land a ticket to see you here in Texas. Every time we find out about a show it’s too late and you’re sold out. We’re a couple cowpokes that love your old timer tunes. Great work my friend. Love to hear from you.
Born in the valley in the lone star land Freest state that'll always make a stand Raised on the plain so he knew every slope Snagged him a mustang with a two foot rope Charley, Charley Crockett king of the wild frontier. He's the one that always gets his man And after they run, they wish the never ran He's the son of Davy known near and far Known through this land in all the honky tonks n' bars Charley, Charley Crockett king of the wild frontier
What my Dad, born and raised in San Angelo called 'Gut bucket' country music would have loved listening to Charley on the car radio. Mr. Crockett has kept the fire.
Valley flavor!! Just saw him live here in Cedar Park, TX on 17APR21. Venue was set up great for social distancing, from ticket collection to ordering drinks/food, which was amazing... and of course, Charley was larger than life in person. Thanks for stoppin' by, Charley!
Bobby Cochran is a certified badass!! He's got some mad filming and editing skills!! I can watch everyone of his videos over and over again. Song is great no doubt, and so is Charley Crockett, but these videos take these songs to a whole 'nother level!!
Dude, I have a square body with a 383! 85 K20 SM465 with 3.42s and a small lift on 255 mud terrains... I love that truck! If the stereo worked I'd be blasting this in it hahaha
Come to MN, we recognize your captivating talent. Thankful for an original voice like you. Been a fan since ab 4000 subs on my old youtube. thank you for some, soul.

The world’s falling apart and Charley stays dressed up and singing. God bless.
as a true king would
Worlds only falling apart if you're watching the news.
For something to fall apart it must once have been put together.
So deep.
Just what we all need

Blessed to have Charley's music to play during depressions.
get well soon buddy
How can u be depressed when you look at those poppin ostrich boots. 👢🥾👞🤠
Hell yeah
Same
This is NOT Charley's music. It is a cover of an old James Hand song. Good cover though.
Charlie is just the most original flatout best country singer in modern times
Hands down
Nobody is doing it like him.
@@jarlredwood7282 he’s killin it.

I’ve listened to “Welcome to Hard Times” 4 billion times! Thank you for the consistently amazing releases!
Same bro lol
Fucking same bro!!
Me too!!

Do you like sinning?
Actual old country sung through the lens of a millennial...brilliant. thank for you for this national treasure.
Thanks for dropping by Charley, hats off to you brother.
barstow huh, maybe they took the 15
maybe they passed exit 100
I love that I can hear music for the first time that sounds the same as the music grandpa used to play. I know the money I pay to buy your music doesn’t lay your bills but we really do appreciate you’re music
Every single thing this man does preserves America in all its beauty. The real true definition of a country singer.
Im a mexican dude raised on mexican music such as Chalino Sanchez RIP and texas raised listening to dj screw and them...im your fan man 👍 I love all your music Charlie. Thanks you man💯💯💯💯

Finally my grandpa's type of country! I'm such a big fan
This sounds like it was recorded in 1965 and produced by Lee Hazlewood! Authentic AF!

Don't ever move to Texas
@@cletust.darrell8363 I wasn't planning on it, but now I'm curious as to why not
@@dc4slacker haha no offense but we don't need any more californians
@@cletust.darrell8363 I can understand that. Would rather stay and try to fix the place I'm in before moving anyway.
we (califorinians) keep running off to other states and taking our trouble with us. Robert, I don't blame you, and Justin, good on you. 😂
SO EXCITED FOR CHARLEY IN MINNEAPOLIS. PLEASE COME TO PALMERS ON THE WEST BANK AFTER THE SHOW!
"Lesson in Depression", Wow, that's about as "Pure Country" as you can get!!! R.I.P James and Thank You Charlie!!!
This is real country music!! Wow thank you Instagram
The only true Country still left in the Country, is Charley Crockett, by far!
Greatest country musician of the modern era, and there are some other great ones out there. Texas loves you Charley!
I keep the light on
This is the real Sh*t.
You got to live it to write it!!!!
How can you not be a fan of this man in one way or another
If you don’t like his style of music
You love his voice if not
His killer vintage style
If not his rebellion through tradition
If not then you’ll love his nostalgic videos
If not then you’ll love his pretty face and smile
If not you’re insane
Coulda been on. W. S. D. S. . .am radio. That's how good.
Well, Charlie has brought me back to country music
This song hits on all 8 cylinders. Charlie's voice, that pedal steel... damn! Killer track!
love the classic country sound. Enough of this hip-hop country music we hear everywhere these days.
Much better than the crap they play on radio about pickup trucks and beer
I appreciate the old school sound
Alot of people look at Charley's act and say oh yah cool... but it's not an act. I been on the same runs he has and that rambling life is rough. It's fun and it's what we live for. He's the 1 in a million that made the grade 💯
We don't need a talk about the things that aren't. What's important is that this is what it is. And that is what we need right now.
Thanks for helping me get by during this hard time of my life. Seperation/divorce is taking a toll
Charley Crockett, the embodiment off everything I love about America and it's music. Love from Wales
this town is so depressing but in a beautiful way, just like this song...
Mr Crockett my wife and I have been trying for years to land a ticket to see you here in Texas. Every time we find out about a show it’s too late and you’re sold out. We’re a couple cowpokes that love your old timer tunes. Great work my friend. Love to hear from you.
Never fails to drop some great music, Charley you’re the fucking man
I usually stay far away from any new country music but this guys up there with all the old school legends
He is my new EVERYTHING after hearing this!! Why does it take me so long to find these greats???
Best country music in decades!! Love your style!!!
Damn it's good to hear some real country music. This is what it should sound like.
Check out Dale Watson , he’s classic country of today. Just like Charlie.
Keeep em coming ol son
I'm not a governor but I hear by declaring Charley crocket the official voice of Texas.
There's a whole bunch of us that lose it when we that steel guitar whine
Coolest song I ever heard
Born in the valley in the lone star land
Freest state that'll always make a stand
Raised on the plain so he knew every slope
Snagged him a mustang with a two foot rope
Charley, Charley Crockett king of the wild frontier.
He's the one that always gets his man
And after they run, they wish the never ran
He's the son of Davy known near and far
Known through this land in all the honky tonks n' bars
Charley, Charley Crockett king of the wild frontier
Look at that, boy! Sounds good. What's the chords? Post it!
@@jmb152 just a little thing I wrote, put some chords to it
I've rode in that arena in Holbrook az, thanks for goin Charley
Next to James Town ferry this is my second favorite song of this guy love from Nagaland a real country fan here
Hey bro thanks for everything
God bless James “Slim” Hand. R.I.P. Legend🎶
Such a fitting song after this last week in Texas...
Hang in there, we’re gonna get through this
My thoughts exactly. We just had a real life lesson.
You guys just experienced what we go through every single year up north lol
Get some generators boys hard times are comin
This guy needs a spot on in a film.
I've had to have listened to this song a dozen times by now.
you made a country music fan out of me, another san benito kid. loved this album!!
This man making us proud in the Valley
What my Dad, born and raised in San Angelo called 'Gut bucket' country music would have loved listening to Charley on the car radio. Mr. Crockett has kept the fire.

Charley Crockett needs to be more widely known. He is the real deal and a true original. Gotta love Charley! ✌❤
It's a remake
I think Slim would be proud
If this is country…
I’ve been missing out.
love that steel wailing in the background and the way charley carries his voice. excellent
can we appreciate how good his fits are?
absolute fire
Midland autoplay sent me here. Now i have a Charley collection.
I am Thai🇹🇭
I live in country side
I Love to listen your song
Thank you so much ❣️
The sixer by the lawn chair is real country
Hope it’s not you who’s depressed Charley, your the best, great tune.
He didn’t write the song so hopefully not
I was born and raised in Barstow. I love the song and all of your music. Thank you
This has been my entire life.
We’re just here to learn a lesson.
I'd like to thank the RUclips algorithm for finally showing me something interesting. This sounds like childhood memories.
one of the best and most underrated artists of our time! every song is a smash for me
Bobby Cochran is a certified badass!! He's got some mad filming and editing skills!! I can watch everyone of his videos over and over again. Song is great no doubt, and so is Charley Crockett, but these videos take these songs to a whole 'nother level!!
Takes you right to 1964 in Bakersfield! Bold with the perfect amount of steel guitar everywhere! Looking forward to seeing you in Lawrence, KS.
James Hand song immotral yes sir
Keep the Crockett name alive!
I love the olds hook sound. The country music I grew up on.
Haven’t even heard it yet and I know I’m gonna love it
Aaaaaand I do
Dude, I have a square body with a 383! 85 K20 SM465 with 3.42s and a small lift on 255 mud terrains... I love that truck! If the stereo worked I'd be blasting this in it hahaha
Hell yeah man mine is missing the radio also!! Cool to see other Charley Crockett fans have a good taste in vehicles
Come to MN, we recognize your captivating talent. Thankful for an original voice like you. Been a fan since ab 4000 subs on my old youtube. thank you for some, soul.
I'm sure Slim will be looking down smiling upon you. A fine tribute to a great songwriter.
Love this guy! Why can't so called "country" radio stations play music like this. Long live Charley!
Charley is the greatest meme country has ever known. And a dying breed still
Keeping real country alive. Bless you brother another fantastic track.
Nice to hear country music👍
10 for slim 🔥🖤🦇
James Hand was a one of a kind guy and was a good friend. Thanks for doing his music right.
Yes, he just created his own genre, Retro Country. I love it!! Very Fresh. Sierra is awesome, Nikki Lane
If y’all think his music is good on here... you need to see him in person. AMAZING! Thank you Charley! 2920 Roadhouse, Hockley, TX
In the corner by the juke box . Just a heart
Finally new true country music to the roots. Love the real twang!
Charley you're a great American hero, thanks for the video.
What a gem. God bless RUclips
Crockett could wear the warmest jacket in the middle of summer, he'd still be cool!
THAT ARENA IS IN MY HOMETOWN OF HOLBROOK ARIZONA
Such a perfect example of downright good country music. Anyone who doesn’t sing along is cheating themselves.
I love Charley's music. I'm glad I randomly stumbled into him once upon a time. lol
Charley, there are few that truly tell the story of the human condition the way that you do. You're a damn legend. God bless ya brother.
I need Charley Crockett doing an album of James Hand songs now.
Well, you’re in luck. Stay tuned.
This song is sick. Classic
Damn I am hooked on whatever cover he decides to do, and that one was a hell of a choice
Charley Crockett is legit.
Fitting time for this song
