GOLDMINE SUMMER 2026 ISSUE FEATURING CHARLEY CROCKETT
Charley Crockett is one of those artists who come along once in a lifetime. This Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter embraces the outlaw tradition in Country Music that places him in a line with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and the Americana storytelling of John Prine. And Crockett’s latest album, Age of the Ram (released in April 2026 and also available in the Goldmine Shop), delves into Country & Western more than ever before.
"People do need to have the context that defines what ‘Country’ music should feel and sound like redefined,” Crockett tells Goldmine.
Read the full feature in the Summer 2026 issue of Goldmine and find out how much Crockett’s music draws heavily on a soulful sound that hits hard without unnecessary embellishments or lush orchestral virtuosity.
