Everyone at Alvies HQ (aka The Boot Cave)ย is a fan ofย Crockettโ€™s. Everything he puts out gets us excited to listen. He's on a hell of a roll with his career, and we absolutely love this album. But you don't have to take our word for it, here's what our friends at Waterloo Records have to say about the album:

"With the arrival of 2021โ€™s Music City USA, 37-year-old Charley Crockettโ€™s workboots have certainly been worn in. The Rio Grande Valley-made singer-songwriter was raised in a trailer park by a single mom; has earned money by picking crops in Pacific Northwest marijuana fields; and has briefly lived, worked, and busked in New Orleans, Dallas, France, Spain, and Morocco. His fascinating story lends to his eclectic yet familiar sound, as he harvests from various icons such as Waylon Jennings (the cover art even evokes a Waylon album), James Hand, and Freddy Fender. His self-described โ€œGulf and Westernโ€ and โ€œโ€˜60s countryโ€-inspired sound is evident in the bluesy soul of lead single โ€œI Need Your Loveโ€; the galloping banjo-scaped rollick of โ€œRound This Worldโ€; and the refreshingly biting โ€œMusic City USA.โ€ Perhaps the greatest thing about the 16-track double LP is that there is no โ€œactโ€, but itโ€™s at once cinematic, authentic, and thoughtful - a Texas original."

Waterloo Records is an Austin institution. The musical wizards there have been slanging albums and advice since 1982. So when we wanted to highlight some of the music that makes us tap our booted and flip-flopped toes, we of course asked them to help. All the albums highlighted here are curated and sold by Waterloo through the Alvies store.
