2nd Full-Length Album of 2024, The 12-Song Collection Is A Companion To His Acclaimed $10 Cowboy
Less than three months after the release of $10 Cowboy, Charley Crockett has released his second album of 2024. $10 Cowboy Chapter II: Visions of Dallas is a companion piece to $10 Cowboy, featuring 10 new songs and two fan favorites – “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “How Low Can You Go” – that have never been released as part of a full-length album. Crockett also has a cover of “(Ghost) Riders in the Sky” on the Twisters soundtrack, out now via Atlantic Records.
“We recorded the songs during the same sessions as $10 Cowboy down at Arlyn Studios in Austin,” explains Crockett. “Could have released a double record. But then Taylor Grace wrote ‘Visions of Dallas’ in a hotel room overlooking that city. She thought about my relationship to Dallas and the great state of Texas in general, and suggested we do a second album where all the songs tie back to Dallas and Texas. The result is Visions of Dallas.”
“For a truly independent artist like myself, there are no rules anymore,” Crockett continues. “Why release Visions of Dallas now? To indulge myself in artistic freedom. The days of 18-to-24-month release cycles have gone the way of the dinosaur. I’ll have my 14th studio album out next week, and every single one has been released how and when I wanted them to. I see no reason to change now.”
$10 Cowboy, an album that “presents him as an artist perhaps finally ready for country superstardom” (Tennessean), has been met with critical praise and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart upon release in April. Crockett, who Rolling Stone dubbed “a must-see live performer,” will headline some of the biggest venues of his career on “The $10 Cowboy Tour” – including Red Rocks, the Greek Theatre in L.A., the Salt Shed in Chicago, the new Brooklyn Paramount, and two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
