Charley Crockett's hard times inspire soulful, genre-defying music
Singer-songwriter Charley Crockett's road in the music industry hasn't been easy or traditional. He was named Emerging Act of the Year at the Americana Awards in September, and is now headlining his own tour and joining Willie Nelson on the road this summer. Anthony Mason talks with Crockett about his new album, "Lil' G.L. Presents: Jukebox Charley" in New Orleans, where he used to busk on street corners.

"I'm always treating it like the guy playing out of a guitar case on a corner" - and that, my friends, is why he truly is the hardest working man in show business. He puts his soul into his work, and puts out so much music, with so many solid shows. This man earns every fan the hard way and I'm going to remain a loyal fan of his for as long as he's rolling. We love you, Charley!
This man and his band are "pure classic Americana". He will go down in history.
Seeing him live was amazing. He and his music really speak to people. The pain, the hope…the authenticity is palpable. The audience was more present at his show than any I’ve ever experienced, but not only that, they were present with each other. He welcomes it all, struggle and joy to be felt, together, side by side. Feeling seen. Unity was what it felt like. (Which right now in America is rarer than gold and even more precious.) Thank you Charley for persevering and sharing your soul with us. We need ya

On the bucket list to see this guy. He is a true music hero for these days.
Charley is the real deal and inadvertently wrote an anthem for 2020 in Welcome to Hard Times.
Charley is one of the few artists that deserves the spotlight as much as he does. He’s born for it! And has one of the coolest, wildest stories I’ve ever heard. Easily the most entertaining show a person could go to these days!!
I love Crockett's sound! He's brought back that old southern twang with a modern twist is astounding.
My home is in my head
I’ve seen Charley live 7 times over the past 3 years. His music will always hold a special place in my heart. You have a fan for life Mr. Crockett and the Blue Drifters 🐊 💙
I’ve been a Charley Crockett fan for several years. I tell everyone I know about him. Keep on rocking G.L.
Charley Crockett definitely deserved the the award for Americana artist of the year. He is awesome!
Love this guy ❤❤❤
Charley Crockett is legit! Saw him live in concert. One of the best concerts I've ever been too.
Seen him 4 times and counting ! One of my absolute favorites !
seen him 3 times in one year, definitely doing it again.

I'm seeing him in Vegas in July. So excited.
He's such a stud! I heard one of his songs on Joe Pickett tv show.
Charlie is blessed from the Lord with amazing musical talent and an incredible will to survive. In this video we only see a small glimpse of the hardship and suffering with his family pain in which he is dealing with emotionally; and how hard he had to persevere to climb the ladder in his professional career without settling for what he was not yet comfortable His strength and courage to move forward overcoming such hardship is amazing! My 35 year old son sent me a sample of Charley Crockett music to listen to via “Spotify” when I could not pull it up I went to my you tube music and searched His random songs immediately enjoying his music very much! He has an amazing voice! And if he writes his own songs which I think he does, again you see his talent is remarkable! God has truly blessed this man and I will be praying for Charley Crockett 😁🙏🏻❤️
He got a lot of material for lyrics. This IS a songwriter. He's amazing and the most compelling performer because of that street drive and hard times. I wish that he would perform closer to NYC. Edit: He's in Central Park opening for Willie this Sep!
Thank you, Mr. Crockett.
2022 charlie going to blow up 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Charlie I lost two brothers 39 and 40 because of alcoholism. It's a terrible way to go brother. I love what you do Charlie it's healing myman. Thank you . Can't wait to see you.
Wish the interview was longer lol this guy is a legend!

I love how he has that 60s sound across country and a lil mowtown feel
A story of strength and overcoming obstacles. Charlie I know you’ll see this, keep being the best you can be and F*** the haters tryin to bring you down. Love from the 817 FTW TEXAS
Thanks to CBS Mornings for the good interview 🤠👍Go Charley Crockett go
Single handedly saving country music.
He is a phenomenal story & a wild cowboy. God bless Charley!
He’s a great singer.
blessed the fact my wife and I got to see him live in CHICO CA. His music is AWESOME and hope to see him live again 💯🔥
Saw him last night! 😊 I caught his guitar pick when he threw it at the audience 😁💕
From WesternAF to CBS? Dang. Good job, Charley!
This guy is damned good.
Charley is the truth
Charlie you are your making. Good luck my brother and star I see. Iife is up and down. Don’t lean on one or the other. Thank you for the music you have made for us and know that you touched so many people with your heart and soul. Love you Charlie ❤
Good Luck Charley ❤️
Somebody please explain to Jason Aldean - this is how country music is supposed to sound like.

I love you brutal honesty Charlie, and I love. ❤
Charlie makes my country music listening happy! What a great guy. A modern day Hank- yep I said that! It’s the feeling in the music.
Also blessed that I found his music
I SO hope I can see Charley live and SOON. He's SO awesome and I LOVE his throwback style and his conglomeration of music. Best of luck Charley and Keep Jammin' Dude!!
Why am I just now hearing about this dude? He's awesome!

Charley is one of my favorites...too cool
Fell in love with this guy from the first day I heard "The Man from Waco" 6 months ago. Watching this, he is even more likable.
Love this guy. I can listen to him all day
I got into him after that “I’m just a clown song” I love it
2023 LET'S GO CHARLEY!!! 🤠
Him Live is the best.
I missed him when he came to Lawrence. KU won that day so it was good he got a chance to see the town alive.

Yeah, I see it.
Heard Charley the first time, a couple weeks ago on ACL. Wow! I immediately bought a CD, and love it!
MANS A LEGEND
So happy for them fellas and truly hope they keep doing what they do
To be honest this video is REALLLLLLYYYY GOOOD
Amazing artist !! I have followed him for a few years now....Wow, the real deal....Next Johnny Cash, maybe bigger...
Glad to see him getting well deserved attention
Charlie is the man
Dam good music!!
Crockett was one of Music Or Lose It's choices for Breakthrough Music Entertainer
I'm really impressed with his story and his music
I love Charlies music.
I had no idea who this guy was 3 months ago and didn’t even care for modern country. But now I’m hooked hard. Saw him in Harrisburg and it was a blast. Throwback country.
I love that. Hows it feel to get a break "Did I get one? Is this it?"
I love this guy! Such a great performer.
Legend
I heard him in Dallas 4 years ago and hoped he make it..
Love a lot of this man's music honest fight is my favorite
Now he needs to get The Lostines as an opener for his tour and that would be a amazing show
Damn it all, anyway! Though I'm not even quite sure why, I really don't want to like this guy, yet I genuinely do. There's just something very unique about him; a sort of riveting allure and nostalgia to his music that I likewise can't put my finger on that keeps me coming back. Regardless, I hope he sticks around for a very long time. Here's to you, Charley!
I can’t wait to see him in Austin! ❤
Another reason to be proud to be from El Valle!
I listen to charley Crockett
Charley has growd on me! 😎♥
Really Good artist
Love Charlie. Come through Phoenix more please
Just found out about this guy 3 days ago.
Charley is the real deal. I've said many many times

F*** that pop country. Charlie's bringing it back like the old days.
He went to the doctors to fix his hernia and found out that his heart was failing and he needed surgery asap. During the heart surgery, the doctors punctured his lung!! Dude been through the valley 75x!! If that ain't ground for the country blues.
Great interviewer questions, rare to see
😍
Charlie rules!
GOAT
Go to Nashville
That's a star...Bet me...

Like to support a Dallas Raised man!
I’m 39 and haven’t got life figured out…. Old broke and alone.

@Johnny johnny honestly i like every song, cover he does. the Hank sn. lost away unique but not my favorite. trinity river, odessa, mighty lonesome man. i get into an artist i like to know their roots not just music. music comes from many things, living, environment, creative juices. i tried little music but ts horror rap it has its own world like adult swim, horror novels. my insanity creates everything good or bad

@Johnny johnny not yet, I plan on it though. In reality I rather give the money directly to the artist than the middle men who take more than desired from artists
What a VOICE throwback to when men SOUNDED like men
I truly enjoyed this piece and Charley's music! Do have to add that I'm a bit pained and confused: Does Anthony Mason's work as "Senior Culture Correspondent" mean he's the network's top dog for that sort of reporting? Or is he supposed to find stories with appeal to those age 60 and older....? 🤔
