Charley Crockett has returned with “Round This World”, the second single from his upcoming album Music City USA. Crockett’s tenth studio album in six years is out on September 17th via Son Of Davy/Thirty Tigers.
“Round This World” shows us a familiar image of Crockett as—both in the video and in the lyrics—a man on the run. Whether he’s running to something or from someone is for us to find out. This latest track carries a bit of extra bluegrass twang as the country revivalist croons “I’ll be that banjo pickin’ man” and has the chops to prove it. Of note in the video for “Round This World” is yet another appearance of the rotary phone that acts as a MacGuffin throughout the cinematic universe that is Crockett’s videos.
Ahead of the video’s release in the wee hours on Friday, Crockett went live to play a few songs. The set was charmingly DIY and lo-fi as the singer-songwriter simply plopped down in a booth at whatever honky-tonk he found himself in and ran through a few tunes. One had to imagine a beleaguered barmaid standing out of frame, trying in vain to get Charley to take heed of her “last call” announcement.
