/by

Just three short months after releasing $10 Cowboy, neo-traditional country artist Charley Crockett will drop his second album of 2024 titled $10 Cowboy Chapter II: Visions of Dallas on July 22 via Son of Davy/Thirty Tigers.

The album will function as a companion piece to $10 Cowboy and feature 10 new songs and two favorites “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “How Low Can You Go.” Along with this, Crockett will drop a cover of “(Ghost) Riders in the Sky” on the Twisters soundtrack, releasing tomorrow (July 19) via Atlantic records.

“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.'”

“For a truly independent artist like myself, there are no rules anymore,” Crockett continues. “Why release ‘Visions of Dallas’ now? To indulge myself in artistic freedom. The days of 18-to-24-month release cycles have gone the way of the dinosaur. I’ll have my 14th studio album out next week, and every single one has been released how and when I wanted them to. I see no reason to change now.”

Along with $10 Cowboy’s impressive No. 1 debut on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart, Crockett will continue his banner year headlining “The $10 Cowboy Tour” at venues such as Red Rocks, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the Salt Shed in Chicago, the new Brooklyn Paramount and the Ryman Auditorium.
