Charley Crockett: “Good Time Charley’s Got The Blues”

By: Jack Anderson

A lot of people claim to be true Texas troubadours, but when you’re literally descended from Davy Crockett, the competition starts to dwindle. Enter Dallas transplant Charley Crockett, whose heritage and personal drive have made him a master interpreter of traditional music. Lineage aside Crockett’s a beast onstage and in the studio, with five full-lengths notched in his belt, including hist late 2018 album, Lil G.L.’s Blue Bonanza.

Lil G.L. features fifteen cover songs from the likes of T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Reed, Austin’s Lavelle White and much more, providing for a blues, soul and country experience equally rooted in the past and present. The Blue Bonanza starts right now with some sultry self-promotion via “Good Time Charley’s Got The Blues”!

Nolina: “Tourist”

Decades after acts like Les Paul & Mary Ford, Captain & Tenille, and Ike & Tina had their heyday, seeing the phrase “husband-and-wife duo” can personally make me wince. Like we get it; you love each other, you’ve got great chemistry together, and you have a lot of emotions you need to dispense, but often, […]

Scone Cash Players: “Cold 40s”

Contemporary curators for some of the best instrumental genres (namely jazz) seem to be fearless when it comes to digital hi-fi production. But thankfully, some of the finest facilitators of the funk-soul sound still prefer the “authentic” old school character of analogue techniques. Amongst them is Hammond organ extraordinaire Adam Scone. Scone and his magic […]

Glassreel: “Compromise”

Rental House: “Sunday Scaries”

There are so many artists out there with names that are virtually un-Google-able. And if they’re from Austin, it’s not really helping their SEO. I mean just try searching “Hikes Austin”…you’re not gonna find music. Hell, even Spoon might’ve had some trouble in their earlier days. Which brings us to Rental House. No, it’s not […]

Chancy: “Angels, Darlings”

I suspect that when many people of my generation hear the word “Chancy” out loud, they probably think of that egg loving Pokémon rather than the adjective. And while that demographic tends to have strong feelings about the “original 151”, collectors of indie-pop-rock ought to add Chancy to their musical Pokédex. This Dallas quintet only became Chancy after they […]
