The Man From Waco (LP)
Charley Crockett
Amoeba Review
Charley Crockett’s The Man from Waco might as well be from 1972 as 2022; that’s how deeply rooted in the timeless sounds of the genre the Texan singer is. Ahh, but what genre? The title track finds the multi-talented artist steeped in classic country that’s good enough to make even the most road-hardened cowboy cry tears of delight. On “I’m Just a Clown,” he favors Motown melodies and classic R&B rhythms to convey the down-and-out bad times of his narrator in a manner that feels oh-so-good to the listener. Recorded live-to-tape with his backing band The Blue Drifters, The Man from Waco proves Charley Crockett is one of the most fascinating artists working today.
