Charley Crockett on the silver screen. There’s really no one like Charley Crockett in the music industry. He bet on himself when he self-released his debut album back in 2015, and through his hard work and persistent and consistent way of going about music, things have only gone up for him since then. And while his audience has grown considerably over the past couple years, he’s still on the tier that’s below “household name,” which makes absolutely no sense to me. Especially when you consider that since 2015, Crockett has released over 15 albums, with his most recent projects being $10 Cowboy, $10 Cowboy Chapter II – Visions of Dallas and his 2025 releases of Lonesome Drifter and Dollar A Day. I’m actually very excited to see what the “Son of Davy” cooks up in 2026 – and beyond. Though it’s safe to assume that new music is on the way (he hasn’t gone more than a year without putting out an album in over a decade), there’s nothing that’s set in stone music release wise for this year just yet. However, Crockett did take to social media to share that a feature documentary focusing on him will premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival next month. The documentary, titled A Cowboy In London, will debut on Thursday, February 5, and will be shown again at the film festival on Saturday, February 7. The country music artist says the Jared Christopher-directed documentary will be an honest and vulnerable look at his career, and explore the cost of being a touring artist year after year: “Proud to share that my feature documentary, ‘A Cowboy in London, will have its world premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this February. This film is honest. It’s vulnerable. Even uncomfortable at times. It shows the road the way it really is… no polish, no pretending. If you’ve ever wondered what it costs to keep doing this year after year, this one’s for you.” Jared Christopher has worked with Crockett as his photographer and videographer for some time now, and the director is also credited with two TV series: Titletown, TX (2018) and The Texas 6 (2020). And this isn’t the first documentary that’s honed in on the country troubadour. It was just last year that another documentary titled Charley Crockett: $10 Cowboy premiered at the Austin Film Festival. That one mainly followed his album release shows at various Texas venues, and incorporated live concert footage from each. Funny enough, that documentary was born pretty much accidentally. Charley and his team were just trying to gather content for social media and anything else they might need it for, and when they looked it all afterwards… they realized it would make for an interesting documentary. There’s not much word on this new documentary on the way, but judging by how Crockett talked about it in his post, A Cowboy In London will pull the curtain back on his process a bit more than Charley Crockett: $10 Cowboy. It’ll probably be closer to the country star’s The Road To Music City USA, which you can actually watch at the link below: “The Road To Music City USA” The post “No Polish, No Pretending” – Charley Crockett To Premiere “Vulnerable” New Documentary ‘A Cowboy In London’ At SBIFF first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
