Charley Crockett’s latest single is another cover with the James Hand tune ‘Lesson In Depression’.
Crockett pays tribute to James “Slim” Hand, a Waco native, who passed away last year in the accompanying video set once again in the desert. According to Live For Live Music Crockett first saw Hand perform a few years ago and it had quite the impact on him “I was up for an Ameripolitan Award a couple years back and I went down to one of Dale Watson’s showcases at Blues City on Beale Street, well ol’ Slim got up on stage with the band and they went in to that old Tom T. Hall number. I think James Hand is the greatest living honky tonker, and he had me in tears with the way he was singing those lyrics. He chokes me up every time I hear him sing.”
Charley knows how to do a solid cover. The song that made me notice him is his version of Tanya Tuckers ‘Jamestown Ferry’
