GRAMMY® Award-nominated, critically acclaimed country iconoclast Charley Crockett proudly presents his second album of 2025, Dollar A Day, available today.
On Dollar A Day, Crockett once again joined forces with creative kindred spirit and GRAMMY® Award-winning co-producer Shooter Jennings. The new LP also marks the second installment in The Sagebrush Trilogy, coming just five months after Lonesome Drifter—part one of the trilogy.
Among many standouts, it features the knockout new single “Tennessee Quick Cash.” Across the track, Crockett paints a vivid picture of late nights, shady deals, and unforgettable characters in Music City.
“If you’ve ever been on Gallatin Pike there in East Nashville,” Crockett explains. “You might have seen a payday advance store. Big frontier blinking light sign. I started getting to thinking how payday advance stores are seen as predatory lenders, but they post those high interest rates right there next to the window where you’re doing the deal. That makes them a lot more honest than those Music Row boys. They don’t tell you anything upfront.”
As a whole, the 15-track body of work sees Crockett leaning into classic country storytelling set to a soundtrack of his one-of-a-kind “Gulf & Western” style. Over the course of the LP, he recalls the past, wonders about the future, and capitalizes on the present with arresting songcraft, jaw-dropping guitar playing, and his immediately recognizable world-weary, yet warm vocals.
Check out the full tracklisting below.
Dollar A Day’s lead single, “Crucified Son” was praised by Pitchfork, Billboard, and more, Dallas Observer applauded how, “The song is played in the style of music he calls ‘Gulf & Western,’ a blend of the blues, folk, soul and country influences he absorbed growing up between South Texas, Dallas and New Orleans.” Perhaps, Whiskey Riff put it best, “Charley Crockett raises the bar with each record, raising the bar and continuing to prove that he’s one of the best in the business.” The second track off the album “All Around Cowboy,” Whiskey Riff said the “tune is country to its core and honors the classic honky tonk sound of the genre.”
A truly singular artist who refracts various strains of American music through his incomparable prism, Dollar A Day may very well be the apex of his signature “Gulf & Western” sound to date. Like its predecessor Lonesome Drifter, Dollar A Day was recorded at the fabled Sunset Sound Studio 3 in Hollywood, CA, with Crockett and Jennings once again helming the proceedings.
Through and through, The Sagebush Trilogy is a timeless Western saga with a distinctly modern spin, as Crockett guides listeners on an epic journey without comparison. Dollar A Day invites everyone deeper into his world now.
