Charley Crockett is back with a defiant new track, “Hey, Mr. Nashville,” where he takes aim at the country music establishment. Despite already releasing two full-length albums in 2024—$10 Cowboy and Visions of Dallas—and receiving his first Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album, Crockett’s fire still burns strong.
With this latest song, Crockett makes it clear that he’s not interested in playing the game or seeking approval from the powers that be. The track echoes sentiments from his 2021 hit “Music City USA,” but with even sharper words aimed at Nashville’s music industry. On “Hey, Mr. Nashville,” Crockett doesn’t just criticize the industry’s politics; he also defends Austin, the city where he honed his craft before gaining wider recognition.
Crockett’s unapologetic stance in the song is a reflection of his commitment to staying true to himself and his music, no matter the pressures of the mainstream industry.
