CHARLEY CROCKETT announces second album of 2024: ‘$10 Cowboy Chapter II: Visions of Dallas’
LESS than three months after the release of ‘$10 Cowboy,’ CHARLEY CROCKETT releases his second album of 2024 on Monday, July 22nd.
‘$10 Cowboy Chapter II: Visions of Dallas,’ is a companion piece to ‘$10 Cowboy,’ and features ten new songs and two fan favourites: ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ and ‘How Low Can You Go,’ neither of which have previously been released as part of a full-length album.
Crockett also has a cover of ‘(Ghost) Riders in the Sky’ 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, and could have released a double record,” he said. “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.
“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.”
