This is Charley Crockett's eleventh album in the past seven years, including two in 2021 and this, his second for 2022 following a collection of covers. Still, a few new things stand out: He's taken to the studio with his touring band The Blue Drifters and no other musicians, and switched from longtime producer Billy Horton to his manager, Texas legend Bruce Robison. (The album was recorded at Robison's studio The Bunker near Austin.) It's not too polished, nor does it need to be, as Robison largely kept the first takes and added only a few overdubs. Lyrically, there is a theme of Crockett—an outsider in Top 40 country and modern Americana—seeming weary of the act. "I'm Just a Clown," a melding of countrypolitan flash and horn-heavy funkiness that's similar to the swaggering style he played with on 2021's Music City USA, is a dramatic backdrop for his resigned feelings: "The joker stands in the middle/ And turns a trick for you/ Because sometimes you know it's better." "Cowboy Candy"—spare and stark, with Crockett's East Texas accent and yipping hiccup bared against an acoustic blues riff—finds him putting on the clown costume again: "I've got my clean shirts starched up all brand new/ I'm about to do-si-do because my bills are all due/ Cowboy Candy ..." But Crockett, even with his highly stylized fashion cowboy look, sounds perfectly authentic on "Just LIke Honey," real honky-tonk blessed with a good deep bass stomp and gliding steel. The Blue Drifters particularly deliver on the jazzy "Trinity River" (clock the horn and sassy piano) and "Odessa," where the organ pours out like liquid. And "Tom Turkey" is a treat: A loose-limbed interpolation of a rarely heard Bob Dylan track (from the Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid outtakes), it could be a jammy Band track complete with deep-fried Southern blues-rock guitar. "Time of the Cottonwood Trees," meanwhile, traffics in a satisfying, Glen Campbell melancholic feel. The record closes out with "Name on a Billboard," as bright as Johnny Cash at his jauntiest, as Crockett comes back to that slightly cynical grappling-with-success thing: "I'm going to LA/ Think I'll drive around/ Ain't got much to lose/ Not even my pride/ Think I'll buy some things/ I can't afford/ Hey look, my name's on a billboard." © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
