GRAMMY Award-nominated, critically acclaimed country iconoclast Charley Crockett returns with brand new single, “Kentucky Too Long,” available today.
Once again, Crockett teamed up with GRAMMY Award-winning co-producer Shooter Jennings. It also hints at what audiences can expect from their third full-length album together, Age Of The Ram, and will mark the conclusion of The Sagebrush Trilogy, all within one year.
Across the track, Crockett deftly flicks the strings of his acoustic guitar, plucking the notes with precision and pinning the rhythm in place. His sharp social commentary stings when he notes, “Daddy was in Vietnam. It says it on his old Sedan. He’s been fighting with Uncle Sam about…something.” The hook hits especially hard as he laments, “Man, I can feel it coming on. I’ve been in Kentucky too long. I’ve been in Kentucky making something out of nothing too long.” Once again, “Kentucky Too Long” finds Charley in top form as a vocalist, storyteller, and guitar-slinger.
Crockett began this journey of The Sagebrush Trilogy with Lonesome Drifter last spring. The follow-up, Dollar A Day, arrived less than five months later at the end of summer, and notably received a GRAMMY Award nomination in the category of “Best Traditional Country Album.”
Crockett will be on the road for the duration of the year. Check out his full confirmed itinerary below!

“Street busker turned critically acclaimed singer-songwriter turned actual country star” (Rolling Stone), Charley Crockett has never been someone who asked permission to take a shot at his dreams. Instead, the 2x GRAMMY Award-nominated Texas-born maverick defied the odds at every turn, tapping into a rebellious strain of country, rising from an open guitar case on a Louisiana sidewalk to selling out some of the world’s most renowned venues. Crockett has paved a singular path out of Texas, taking his home state wherever he goes and bringing his signature “Gulf & Western” sound to the world. Crockett and his music have received praise from The New Yorker, The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone,and Variety, and garnered hundreds of millions of streams. He has notably headlined Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, twice, played the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA, and sold out two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. Speaking to his impact, CBS Mornings chronicled his journey, and he has appeared on The Daily Showand The Joe Rogan Experience. Plus, he’s graced the stage for performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Austin City Limits, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS “Saturday Sessions” in addition to playing behind NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk.” With multi-GRAMMY Award-winning Shooter Jennings as co-producer, the same unapologetic spirit, diehard work ethic, and no-nonsense honesty drive Crockett’s latest era, resulting in The Sagebrush Trilogy. Beginning with his Island Records debut Lonesome Drifter in March 2025, the trilogy continued with Dollar A Day, out less than five months later, which earned him his second GRAMMY nomination.
