Here’s the absorbing new video from the prolific Charley Crockett. For “Night Rider”, Bobby Cochran has created a typically cinematic visual. Crockett’s videos often have the quality, look and feel of short films, perfectly complementing his textured, self-styled ‘Gulf & Western’ sound. As ever, Crockett’s vocal is low and resonant, a story-telling voice that draws us into the song.
“Night Rider” is the latest single from Crockett’s brand new album, his first on Island Records. On “Lonesome Drifter”, he continues to develop his distinctive style and blend of soulful country, folk and blues while delivering compelling, lyrical narratives. Crockett explains: “I’d like to be known as a storyteller. I’m trying to tell good, true stories in song.” Recorded in ten days at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles, Crockett co-produced the record with GRAMMY Award-winning Shooter Jennings. Remarkably, it’s his 15th studio album, displaying impressively consistent song-writing quality. This is real country, a fresh take on a classic sound. Enjoy.
