Charley Crockett
Keeps the bones, throws out the gristle.
Crockett has made more records in a decade than most artists make in a lifetime, and every one of them sounds like a man who has clearly slept in his truck and bothered to write it down. He calls it Gulf and Western. The rest of us call it the kind of country record we used to take for granted.
