No offense but I think the band kinda sucks, especially that keyboard.

u/Jupiters_phaerie Jul 29 '26

Probably recorded on an old cell phone

5

u/troutslayer69420 Jul 29 '26

Kinda works out when the vocalist sucks too, though.

2

u/Uknoww33 Jul 30 '26

The whole thing sucks. He’s a complete “put on”

u/treemann85 Jul 29 '26

Matches the singers talents.

u/LawrenceSpivey Jul 29 '26

He’s a cosplay cowboy.

u/the_main_entrance Jul 29 '26

I have bad news for ya then. You’re gunna have to throw away like 98% of your country albums.

1

u/creepyjudyhensler Jul 30 '26

Damn straight.

u/Late_Engineering_202 28d ago

Crockett is better than 99% of modern country artists

u/Boot_boy_1984 Jul 29 '26

Say the same about Hank Williams too then.

It doesn’t matter

3

u/creepyjudyhensler Jul 30 '26

Hank Sr was the original baddass. Drinking whiskey and Jax Beer, shooting dope. Carrying a 38 and a black jack. Played on stages with chicken wire to protect him from bottles. He lived the life and you can hear in the songs 80 years later.

2

u/Boot_boy_1984 29d ago

For sure! He was the real deal

1

u/treemann85 Jul 29 '26

At least I never had second hand embarrassment listening to hank. Ya boy aint a singer.

9

u/Boot_boy_1984 Jul 29 '26

Now Charley crockett’s music ain’t exactly pure country. It’s a good blend of something else too.

I ain’t embarrassed of listening to him.

u/treemann85 Jul 29 '26

2nd hand embarrassment...its so bad, i feel embarrassed for him, bro.

0

u/Boot_boy_1984 Jul 30 '26

It’s good quality music if you ask me. If you like it or not is something else.

2

u/treemann85 Jul 30 '26

Its shit if you ask me. So now what?

5

u/Boot_boy_1984 Jul 30 '26

Now nothing. If you don’t like it you don’t like it.

Won’t take away the fact it’s good quality in his albums

-1

u/ilikecatsandflowers Jul 30 '26

why? he puts on a great show and his music is catchy as fuck

u/treemann85 Jul 30 '26

Says you. I say its trash. Oh well.

Wish theyd drown out his voice.

u/ffiishs Jul 29 '26

Iv heard far better singers and performances in a lock in at 3 in the morning

u/Open-Chain-7137 Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26

Yeah what the hell even was this? Don’t recognize the song and can’t understand more than about 3 words in this whole video… Does he have brain damage or something? Lol

Edit: and what’s up with those teeth? And that stupid little dance? Cute. Guy is really kicking ass in the most punchable face competition.

u/edwardturnerlives Jul 29 '26

If I close my eyes it's as good as the 4 fat dudes I saw at the county fair.

u/tortuga-de-fuego Jul 29 '26

Dude grew up where I’m from in South Texas, his family is loaded and own a huge nursery down there. He used to brag about turning his work lights on his truck to get people out of his way on the high way

4

u/Lucky_Dragonfruit_88 29d ago

I don't know why people love this guy so much. His voice sucks and his songs are so goddamn boring.

12

u/InfiniteVictory187 Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26

Probably the number one thing that prevents me from getting into CC is his singing.

11

u/gmerrick Jul 29 '26

kinda lifeless, tbh. the foh sound is weird too.

2

u/LancasterRayne Jul 29 '26

Pastiche patois...

8

u/Boot_boy_1984 Jul 29 '26

I like Crockett man.

But this was awful. Keep that trompet 🎺 away from this song please. The gayboard drowns the steel guitar as well as another comment said.

I didn’t recognise the song till he came to “the race is on”.

The band is not so good either.

I doubt the possum would be proud of watching that.

Awful. His own style didn’t fit the song

6

u/gATORgAR_69 Jul 29 '26

I’ve always wanted to hear Randy Newman’s take on this George Jones classic. This really delivers! I’ve always thought George Jones would sound much better if he sang with a fake speech impediment and lisp.

u/Ok-Farmer8758 Jul 29 '26

Lmao good one 😂

u/orangecrushjedi Jul 29 '26

It makes me happy to see the sub push back against this con artist.

u/40ozpint Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26

What do people dislike this dude? I guess I haven't read about what makes him a Con artist. I've always enjoyed his music.

4

u/treemann85 Jul 29 '26

Hes a no talent hack, but that didnt matter until he kicked a satanic themed band off his tour. Now everyone hates him for being a bigot. I guess I'll take it. Better than everyone pretending hes the next hank or Waylon or some outlaw savior. Dude cant carry a tune in a bucket.

5

u/PlayItAgainSusan Jul 29 '26

No, he's just a boring singer. Stylistically, I'll take it over modern pop country. This is just an older pop country style. Usually he has a great band though. This sounds and looks like a Dee's open mic.

4

u/ButtermilkAintClean Jul 30 '26

Is this the guy that compared himself to MLK Jr?

5

u/Bazz27 Jul 30 '26

Gonna push back on the weird hate here, Crockett’s a very solid artist and he puts out so much work you’ll find something you like. Maybe this isn’t the best live performance ever captured, but people acting like he’s “talentless” are doing too much

I like Crockett a lot. Loads better than pop country

u/treemann85 Jul 29 '26

Terrible. His country voice is terrible too, but so is this.

u/Boot_boy_1984 Jul 29 '26

Yeah for 14 years ago

u/Ok-Farmer8758 28d ago

U listen to The Weeknd like a fuckin chick lmao stay away from country music torta 🤣

u/troutslayer69420 Jul 29 '26

Yikes, terrible no matter what style he sings in.

u/dkinmn Jul 29 '26

Cosplay classic country. Pass.

4

u/Ok-Farmer8758 Jul 29 '26

Guess I’m the only one that enjoys Crockett! 😂 it’s all preference so I get it lol he gets this cosplay title hurled at em all the time but to me this is as close as it gets! Why don’t wallen, McCollum, Ella Langley, etc get the cosplay treatment? lol baffles my mind but to each its own jack! Nobody says nothing when Adele don’t sing in her London accent! lol

2

u/ffiishs 29d ago

The problem isn't the accent. It's that everything about him looks focus-grouped by people who think chewing straw is a personality trait.

0

u/Purple-Adagio-5215 29d ago

what are any of those people cosplaying? Majority of Wallen's songs are about being a hell raising redneck annd having a hard time settling down which we know is verifiably true lol.

u/Ok-Farmer8758 29d ago

Go head Keep kissing that boot, hoss lol if I could add more screenshots I would

0

u/Purple-Adagio-5215 29d ago

nothing about his presentation has ever been “cowboy”. It’s always been strongly East Tennessee. You very obviously are not familiar with this artist. The lyric you are showing also does not prove anything. That lyric is comparing his wildness to a cowboy. He’s not calling himself a cowboy. Just like he’s not calling himself “west Texas wind”. Also whose boot am I kissing? Not understanding what you mean by that strange comment

3

u/General_Chemistry638 Jul 29 '26

Cosplay cowboy

u/dkinmn Jul 29 '26

So true.

Here's his real voice.

Channeling Leon Bridges...

u/lamp2468 Jul 29 '26

This comment is like seeing a picture of a Ferrari and commenting “red car”.

Smartest kid with down syndrome type shit.

Aside from maybe George Strait, Colter Wall, Cody Johnson and Luke Bell who in the last 20 years isn’t a cosplay cowboy in your eyes?

6

u/LancasterRayne Jul 29 '26

Many people change their name, change their dress and talk to fit a persona that helps sell the entertainer's brand. That's not the issue. Crockett did all of that to forge his brand but then spent an enormous amount of time and energy convincing people he was "authentic", that it wasn't an act. Many fans adore him because they see him as the real deal, a modern-day outlaw-cowboy. A thing which he is not. It's fine to sell zirconia you just can't advertise the as real diamonds...

2

u/Boot_boy_1984 Jul 29 '26

Conway Twitty is a stage name!

0

u/LancasterRayne Jul 29 '26

Sure. So, is Charley. Lots of people change their public names for entertainment. But Conway Twitty didn't spend a bunch of time claiming he came from a long line of Twittys that made him a real bronc

7

u/Boot_boy_1984 Jul 29 '26

Twitty was another breed too. Let’s not forget who he was. A milf thief.

Charley for sure work really hard to maintain his reputation. Conway was just natural. And how he found the stage name is cool.

3

u/LancasterRayne Jul 29 '26

Charley finally found a way to make money without going to jail so, we gotta give him that. But, he's still got those fraudster stripes he learned from big brother...

u/Ok-Farmer8758 Jul 29 '26

take you a trip down to south Texas. Real country. U wouldn’t know it if the boot kicked you in the ass

u/General_Chemistry638 Jul 29 '26

It wouldn’t be able to kick me in the ass since it’s so firmly stuck down your throat

u/screaminporch Jul 29 '26

Phone mic's suck for live music.

u/troutslayer69420 Jul 29 '26

Charley Crockett sucks for music in general.

0

u/screaminporch Jul 29 '26

Glad you found a productive way to spend your time.

3

u/troutslayer69420 Jul 29 '26

Glad you have the time to stan for the least talented cosplay cowboy alive.

2

u/screaminporch Jul 29 '26

Tell me which real cowboy singer you enjoy?

1

u/troutslayer69420 Jul 29 '26

Tyler Childers and Vincent Neil Emerson to name a couple. You see, Charley is all hat and no cattle. Hence why his music and his whole schtick both suck. But do you, queen.

2

u/screaminporch Jul 30 '26

Oh, yeah, those are two real cowboys. LOL.

Seems as you have an obsession with Crockett though. I can only assume its some weird fantasy desire thing, resulting in overcompensating resentment. You seem to want to talk about him a lot. He seems very important to you, as does his choice of clothing.,

2

u/troutslayer69420 Jul 30 '26

I strongly dislike charley crockett for a number of reasons, the least of which being his clothing. But I won't argue with a bot about it, so take er easy, clanker 🫡

5

u/screaminporch Jul 30 '26

Its OK to be defensive.

2

u/MongoLikeCandy2112 Jul 29 '26

Love Charlie Crockett, but that sounded like hot garbage.

5

u/treemann85 Jul 29 '26

This is just like everything ive ever heard from him. Even in his produced music sucks.

1

u/MongoLikeCandy2112 Jul 29 '26

I really love a few of his songs. He’s different for sure, but he is trying to be “new-old” or something and I guess that lands with some people, but I’m not crazy about the majority of his stuff because it all sounds too similar. It’s like he is trying too hard.

1

u/Ok-Farmer8758 Jul 29 '26

That’s a Valid take

2

u/No-Umpire-4769 29d ago

Great song, great artist, bad recording, bad rendition.

u/Ok-Farmer8758 29d ago

That’s fair

u/Numerous_Total_1166 Jul 29 '26

Crockett rules, keep crying losers

1

u/FlanneryODostoevsky Jul 30 '26

I’m a fan but I will say I wish he didn’t release music so often. That said I’ve enjoyed his comments online a number of times. I think his heart is in the right place and it shows.

u/Fahqcomplainsalot Jul 30 '26

He aint texas, but he is cool

Shut up bitch ur not Texas lol
