The Valley

Charley Crockett's been running nearly his entire life, but with the title track to his sixth album, the Texas songwriter looks back at where he came from.

THE VALLEY chronicles his hard upbringing on the south Texas border in San Benito and his single mom's move to Dallas, but it also distills the essence of Crockett's fierce and restless independence.

Recorded shortly before life-saving open-heart surgery, the album reflects the artist's exploration of American struggles and life on the road. With echoes of country sounds, it tells a story of exile and promise, as Crockett remains true to his own path despite offers from major labels and producers.
