Charley Crockett will release his new album Lil' G.L. Presents: Jukebox Charley on April 22nd via Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers. The fourth edition of his Lil' G.L. tribute series, produced by Billy Horton, Jukebox Charley is another great example of how Crockett is enlivening country music by looking back for inspiration and crafting his own singular sound whether through his own songs or the songs of others.

On this new album, Crockett mines country music's past and then processes it through his singular "Gulf & Western" sound - weaving old school blues, R&B, soul, cajun, western swing and other classic touchstones with country - and enlivening the genre. And while the album features songs written by country legends like Willie Nelson, Tom T. Hall and George Jones, Crockett also shines a light on songs from regional acts like Louisiana's Larry Brasso or a deep cut from Red Sovine.

And even when he's interpreting songs from country legends, Crockett steers toward lesser-known or underappreciated songs, eschewing staples of the genre.
