Just three months after releasing $10 Cowboy, neo-traditional country singer Charley Crockett is due to release his second album of 2024, $10 Cowboy Chapter II: Visions of Dallas, on July 22, a companion piece to $10 Cowboy, with ten new songs as well as two favourites: “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “How Low Can You Go.”

Crockett also performs a cover of “(Ghost) Riders in the Sky”, which features both on this new album as well as on the Twisters soundtrack, which is released this week and celebrates the music featured in the blockbuster film. His cover of the Stan Jones penned classic honours the original and adds his unique style. Crockett’s expressive rendition brings to life the dramatic images of the song, of cursed animals and phantom riders. This is a spine-tingling trip that carries listeners to the centre of the Wild West and a fresh interpretation of a song over 70 years old.

Crockett continues his successful year by headlining “The $10 Cowboy Tour” at venues including Red Rocks, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the Salt Shed in Chicago, the new Brooklyn Paramount, and the Ryman Auditorium.

“We recorded the songs during the same sessions as $10 Cowboy down at Arlyn Studios in Austin,” explains Crockett. “Could have released a double record. But then Taylor Grace wrote ‘Visions of Dallas’ in a hotel room overlooking that city. She thought about my relationship to Dallas and the great state of Texas in general, and suggested we do a second album where all the songs tie back to Dallas and Texas. The result is Visions of Dallas.”
