‘Ten Dollar Cowboy’ Charlie Crockett in Concert at Stage AE (Mon., 7/15/24)

One of my songs of the summer is Charley Crockett‘s “Solitary Road.” I saw him perform it on “CBS Saturday Morning” and was impressed, and then I heard it on the radio and that drove it home. Crockett mainly grew up in Los Fresnos, Texas, before his family moved to Dallas. A descendent of American icon Davey Crockett, he wandered around playing his guitar in America and the world including stops in New Orleans, Northern California, New York City, Paris, Spain, and Morocco. He’s released 13  studio albums including this years $10 Cowboy. Crockett has a wonderful singing voice; full of bravado, melody, and twang. This is quite evident on “Solitary Road. The lyrics stand out and create a gritty reality. His band is very accomplished too. The guitar arrangements on the song are fantastic with Crockett and his other guitarist switching lead while at the same time the slide guitar player adds depth. The title track $10 Cowboy has some good truths too. Last year Crockett was nominated for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year at the 2023 Americana Music Honors & Awards. Hear this country, blues, soul performer at Stage AE. Special guest is John R. Miller. 7 p.m. Indoors. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore  (R.H.)
