When we think of prolific musicians, I'm sure some of the same names come to our minds: Willie Nelson (71), Johnny Cash (96!), Neil Young (55), Paul McCartney (49) and James Brown (71). Classics indeed. In today's music world, there are also some great and prolific musicians - they don't have the years behind them like the classics, but nonetheless, prolific. Bands like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Car Seat Headrest and added to that list, Charley Crockett.

Crockett has released ten albums in six years, originals and covers, blending in classic country, blues and Americana music. An independent musician to the core, Charley has turned down record offers in the past to ensure he stays true to himself and doing things his way.
