Less than three months after the release of $10 Cowboy, Charley Crockett will release his second album of 2024 this coming Monday, July 22nd. $10 Cowboy Chapter II: Visions of Dallas is a companion piece to $10 Cowboy, featuring 10 new songs and two fan favorites – ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ and ‘How Low Can You Go’ – that have never been released as part of a full-length album. Crockett also has a cover of ‘(Ghost) Riders in the Sky’ on the Twisters soundtrack, out tomorrow 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.”
