Charley Crockett Announces ‘Dollar a Day’ Album Release Date

Charley Crockett Announces New Album ‘Dollar a Day’ for August Release

Charley Crockett, one of modern country music’s most prolific voices, is set to unveil his second album of 2025 with the release of Dollar a Day. The new record drops August 8 via Island Records, further cementing Crockett’s tireless creative output and distinctive style.

An Intriguing Tease on Social Media

On June 30, Charley Crockett used Instagram to announce Dollar a Day, sharing a striking image of himself seated at a desk, boots up, phone in hand, gun visible, gold bars and documents strewn before him. The post, defiantly captioned “I don’t gamble. I just risk it all,” quickly drew attention and conversation among his followers, fueling anticipation for the project. Crockett’s flair for dramatic aesthetics and storytelling remains at the forefront of his public persona.

The Sagebrush Trilogy Continues

Dollar a Day serves as the second entry in Crockett’s The Sagebrush Trilogy, following just five months after its predecessor, Lonesome Drifter. Both albums were recorded at Sunset Sound Studio 3 in Hollywood, California, and co-produced with country-rock notable Shooter Jennings. Crockett has expressed deep appreciation for this partnership, noting, “With Shooter, I’ve never felt more like myself in the studio… It’s truly a partnership. Hell, I’d say he’s my best friend, and you can’t aspire to greatness without that kind of trust. With Lonesome Drifter, it felt like we opened the portal. With Dollar a Day, we stepped through and came out the other side.”

Fans interested in more of Crockett’s catalog and background can explore his artist page on Billboard or revisit his announcement of Lonesome Drifter. Crockett is known for his rapid-fire songwriting and recording approach, previously telling Billboard, “One of the reasons I record so often is because I’m really good at starting songs, but I’m not always great at finishing them, if I don’t have pressure.”

Lead Single and Tour Plans

Anticipation for Dollar a Day will build further with the release of its lead single, “Crucified Son,” arriving July 3. The album itself features 15 new tracks, further outlining the storytelling and musical grit that have made Crockett a compelling figure in contemporary roots music. The full tracklist is available at JamBase.

Crockett remains busy on the road, including notable stops like a triumphant headlining return to Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. This August, he’ll join Leon Bridges for The Crooner & The Cowboy tour, kicking off in Milwaukee, which sees two distinctive voices in American music sharing the stage.
