Hell, I'd say he's my best friend, and you can't aspire to greatness without that kind of trust. With "Lonesome Drifter," it felt like we opened the portal.

Charley Crockett's rising success
On January 24, Crockett, a notoriously independent-minded singer-songwriter, stunned many by announcing his signing to Universal Music Group's Island Records for the release of his 15th studio album, "The Lonesome Drifter."
In a message to his mailing list, Crockett offered the following statement regarding his major label signing:
"I'm writing to say thank you for keeping up with me over the years. It's a short story that keeps getting longer. I'm releasing my debut album with Island Records in March. I wanted you to be the first to know. It's album #15 if we're keeping score. I fell into this troubadour life, looking for a way to live on my own terms. I didn't like the idea of being fenced in, sold off, or played out. That's why I started riding trains in the first place. Some say time is money. I say time is a train, and I'm running alongside it on the only highway."
