    Lyrics:
    Life's a casino, I'm tellin' you
    And everybody's playin', boys and girls
    Women, children, me, and you
    The dice are loaded and everything's fixed
    Even a hobo would tell you this
    Welcome to hard times and feelin' low
    Do you like sinnin'? No?
    Well, you will before you go
    We've got lots of gamblin'
    Oh, and we're tellin' lies
    You're certainly welcome to hard times
    Take a look in my eyes
    Tell me what you see
    Besides the bright blinking lights
    Stretched out in front of me
    I wonder if you'll notice
    Would you even care
    If I told you my life just isn't fair?
    Welcome to hard times and feelin' low
    Do you like sinnin'? No?
    Well, you will before you go
    We've got lots of gamblin'
    Oh, and we're tellin' lies
    You're certainly welcome to hard times
    Yes, hope you're feelin' welcome to hard times

      Absolutely! There's so many honestly. Here's a few of my favorite kinda hardcore country/more traditionalists: Whitey Morgan and the 78s (honky tonk), Hayes Carll (country with some rock and soul influences), Colter Wall (folk and old cowboy songs), Daniel Romano (except his last few releases), and Kelsey Waldon (her latest record is fantastic). Check out TH-cam channels like Western AF and Gems in VHS. They do live sessions of lots of indie country and folk artists and some really popular ones like The Lost Dog Street Band/Benjamin Todd. There are also lots of Red Dirt country guys like Reckless Kelly, Cody Jinx, etc that are really popular too, so you might check them out.

    Alright, I can't lie, I'm having a crisis right now. I heard this on the radio on the Wind River Reservation last week. Usually a lot of older country, Haggard, etc. etc. I hear this come on and dang if I didn't fall in love with it, surprised that I had never heard it before. I just barely managed to catch the name to look up later - funny, I'm pretty versed in the old stuff and I'd never heard of anyone named Charley Crockett.
    Now I find out this shit is from 2020?

      @Your Barista
      That's plain and simple. He infuses his songs with a mix of Texas blues, classic country, and Cajun soul to make really timeless tunes. It brings me back to the 50's era of country music. All of it reminds me of George Jones, Ernest Tubb, T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Reed, etc.
      His lyrics are always fantastic, and they're sure to tell a great story. I've also never seen someone make such original album covers as he does, as well.
      His music ain't for everyone, obviously. But for me, he's one of my favorites! I really appreciate the guys that "go against the grain" of the mainstream, and sacrifice fame/popularity to give folks great, original content.

I kind of don’t know where to start. I know Hank, Willie Nelson, Waylon, and Cash, but none of that even really fits into this “cowpoke” sort of sound. Marty Robbins has it, but who else? I love it and I just don’t know where to go.

He's a very unique talent and I'm sure as he gets more exposure that number will climb. I'm in California and I hope to catch one of his shows the next time he's in California. Love his music and videos!! Very cool!

      Can you recommend some good old country records that fall into this kind of genre? I was raised on Classic rock, metal, and punk and just now getting into country. I kind of don’t know where to start. I know Hank, Willie Nelson, Waylon, and Cash, but none of that even really fits into this “cowpoke” sort of sound. Marty Robbins has it, but who else? I love it and I just don’t know where to go.

    Next time Crockett is playing to shoot another cool music video in cowboy true west surreal country he will die for. Just send me a message at the proper time and I'll take him around my hills, river, roads, mines, old graves where bleached bones of indians, pioneers, miners, cowboys, explorers.....sit in pieces kisses the sun in the day and kissing the moon at night. from 160 years ago. Outside of Bullhead City, Laughlin and Oatman sits God's country next to the beautiful Colorado River. We still carry out sidearms in full display and five minutes out of town in any direction one can shoot safely. We were founded and built by gold and silver mining. It was once Hardyville but changed the name years ago.

    If I heard this song without seeing the video there’s no way I would think it released in 2020. This has such a 1950s-60s vibe to it, and that’s a great thing to infuse with modern country music. The “underground country revolution” that’s going on with artists like Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Zach Bryan, Sturgill Simpson, etc. is really incredible to see. The fact that Tyler Childers was nominated for a Grammy without even being played on mainstream radio is a testament to the fact that we, the fans and consumers, do have more power over the music industry (and all industries for that matter) than some would lead us to believe.
