“Can’t Release The Album For A Minute”: Charley Crockett Implies That “Legal Trouble” Will Further Delay The Release Of ‘Clovis’

The curious case of Clovis continues. There’s no doubt that Charley Crockett has remained one of the busiest artists working in the genre today. Since 2024, the “$10 Cowboy” has dropped a staggering five albums. Of course, this includes the double-up in 2024 in $10 Cowboy and Visions of Dallas, as well as the now-completed “Sagebrush Trilogy,” which is comprised of Lonesome Drifter, Dollar A Day and his latst release, Age of the Ram. However, he had all intentions of releasing a sixth album in two years, Clovis, which appeared just three weeks after Age of the Ram on April 28th. As one of the best releases to date from Crockett, fans everywhere were touting it as the Album of the Year. Despite all the hype surrounding it, it would disappear from on streaming services a little over a week later, which means the 14-track album was only available to fans for around a week. As of today, it still has yet to reappear. Over the weeks, we have gotten some updates on the record, however. Back on May 25th, Shooter Jennings, son of Waylon Jennings and Crockett’s long-time producer, would take to X to confirm that Clovis is for sure coming back, and that when it does, it’ll return with physical media: “It is coming back! With physical!” It is coming back! With physical! — Shooter Jennings (@shooterjennings) May 25, 2026 Just days later during his performance at Music City Rodeo in Nashville, we’d get another update straight from the horse’s mouth. Before performing a standout from the album, “Hallelujah Trail,” Crockett would tell the crowd that Clovis is coming soon, saying it’ll be back on the street in “two shakes of a lamb’s tail.” “I’m sorry about that record I put out a little ways back that got pulled down. I promise y’all I’m gonna get it back on the street in two shakes of a lamb’s tail.” Today, Crockett would give yet another update on Clovis… and there’s some good news and bad news. The bad (and most notable) news is that it seems as if we’re still a long ways away from seeing Clovis back on streaming, with the “Lonesome Drifter” singer saying he can’t release the album for “a minute.” Additionally, it seems as if he may be in some legal trouble; however, he didn’t specify if its related to Clovis itself or something else entirely. The good news, for those who live in Nashville or are attending CMA Fest this weekend, is that his team will be patrolling the streets of Music City and handing out CDs for free during the festival. He’d sign off by saying that he’s going back to his roots with the whole “boots-on-the-ground” approach to delivering Clovis to the masses. “I got a loyal street team around this week in Nashville. I’d be there but I’m in some legal trouble I won’t bore you with. They’ll be handing out CDs for free. You know, the way I got here.” View this post on Instagram I can’t say I’ve seen an album have this many issues releasing to the masses in recent memory; however, it seems as if we’re still a ways away from finally getting Clovis in its final, official form permanently. If you’re in Nashville this weekend, it’s best to keep an eye out in order to get your hands on this incredibly elusive record. Before you go, fire up “Hallelujah Trail,” which is actually still on YouTube via a recording from ABC Country in Australia.
