Music City USA by Charley Crockett

Music City USA, Charley Crockett's ninth album, came out on September 17, 2021 on Son of Davy, distributed by Thirty Tigers, and it finds the Texas-born traditionalist sticking to his guns. He cut it with producer Mark Neill at Soil of the South Studios in Valdosta, Georgia, and the sessions keep the old-school country sound intact: twangy, unhurried, a little dusty around the edges.

The sleeve tips its hat to Waylon Jennings' 1966 album Leavin' Town, which tells you exactly which lineage Crockett is claiming. Two days before the record dropped, he put out The Road to Music City USA, a 45-minute documentary that follows him and Neill between sessions at Neill's studio.
