Charley Crockett Featured On “Walking The Floor with Chris Shiflett”
By: Tori Hartshorn May. 16, 2018
Charley Crockett is featured on this week's episode of "Walking The Floor with Chris Shiflett." Listen to the full interview HERE. Of Crockett and the episode, Rolling Stonepraises, "Charley Crockett has become the king of his own wild frontier...the conversation traces his path from the cotton fields of south Texas to the stages of theaters across the country. Along the way, Crockett and podcast host Chris Shiflett geek out over Memphis' musical history, Texas' independent spirit and the thrill of chasing down your own unique horizon."
The interview celebrates the release of Crockett's critically acclaimed new album, Lonesome As A Shadow, which is out now (purchase/stream HERE). Produced by Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Zac Brown) and recorded at Sam Phillip's Recording in Memphis, TN, Lonesome As A Shadow is Crockett's fourth full-length album and his first release consisting entirely of original songs.
Crockett will tour throughout 2018 in support of the record including headline shows at Phoenix's The Rebel Lounge, Los Angeles' The Mint, Dallas' The Statler Ballroom and Seattle's Sunset Tavern among many others. Crockett will also perform a series of shows supporting Turnpike Troubadours and Old 97's. Tickets are on-sale now. See below for complete details.
In addition to Crockett on vocals and guitar, Lonesome As A Shadow also features his longtime touring band, "The Blue Drifters."
The release of Lonesome As A Shadow culminates a series of breakthrough years for Crockett following the release of 2015's A Stolen Jewel and 2016's In The Night which received widespread critical acclaim and earned him a Dallas Observer Music Award for "Best Blues Act." Following the releases, Rolling Stone included Crockett as one of their "10 Artists You Should Know" while Wide Open Country described him as, "A honky tonk hero for the modern era." Most recently, in 2017, Crockett released a collection of his favorite honky tonk songs, entitled Charley Crockett presents Lil G.L.'s Honky Tonk Jubilee. The album features songs originally performed by Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker, Roy Acuff, Webb Pierce and other great heroes of honky tonk.
Inspired by the life of his ancestor Davy Crockett, the Texas native has traveled the world, spending time in Paris, Spain, Morocco and Northern Africa as well as singing on the streets across the U.S. from New Orleans' French Quarter to New York City.
