Charley Crockett Drops Full ‘A Cowboy In London’ Documentary On YouTube

The Son of Davy is staying busy. In the last week or so, Charley Crockett has dropped a couple of things seemingly out of nowhere. First, there was the album, Clovis, that caught a lot of people off guard. Why? Because only three weeks earlier, Crockett had released his highly anticipated Age of the Ram. It’s become clear that he followed that up with Clovis because he was ready to announce that he was an independent artist once more. It must just be the most important project of Charley’s career. Then on May 3, Crockett released a documentary titled A Cowboy In London on YouTube. It first premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival back in early February. Before its official premiere, the country music artist said the Jared Christopher-directed documentary would 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. Four years ago, The Road to Music City U.S.A. documentary was also released. In other words, Charley isn’t a stranger to having a camera follow him around during an album release process or a tour. This latest documentary captures the country singer across the pond during a week-long stay as he promotes his album, walks the streets of London, and plays shows. The video is described on YouTube as this: “In ‘A Cowboy in London,’ filmmaker Jared Christopher captures a rare portrait of Charley Crockett on the verge of global stardom. Shot in the verite tradition, the film follows Crockett during a whirlwind week in London. 3 sold-out solo shows at historic Hoxton Hall, candid TV, radio and newspaper interviews, tourist wanderings, and intimate moments with fiancée Taylor Grace, whose camcorder diary intertwines with professional footage. Between forgotten lyrics and celebrity cameos, Crockett confronts the state of America, AI in music, and the music industry itself, revealing a vulnerable, defiant artist unafraid to speak truth while chasing greatness.” There’s plenty of stories and plenty of hot takes from Charley Crockett included in the film, along with a multitude of entertaining fan interactions.
