Charley Crockett & Willie Nelson's New Song Collaboration

In a musical treat for fans, country music artists Charley Crockett and Willie Nelson have unveiled a new collaboration titled ‘That’s What Makes the World Go Round’. The song, crafted in a classic country style, features a swinging beat and drawled vocals. The collaboration was sparked when Nelson, while recording at his Pedernales Recording Studio in Spicewood, Texas, showed interest in singing a song penned by Crockett, leading to the creation of this track.

A Swift and Emotional Collaboration

Overwhelmed by the opportunity to collaborate with Nelson, Crockett quickly wrote a song and forwarded it to the country music veteran. Nelson recorded his parts the very next day. The emotional impact of hearing Nelson’s vocals and guitar leads on the song moved Crockett to tears. He described the experience as profound and deeply affecting.

Themes of Love, Longing, and Honky-Tonk Lifestyle

The song ‘That’s What Makes the World Go Round’ delves into themes of love and longing. It tells the story of a woman reflecting on her life and her fondness for the honky-tonk lifestyle. The track resonates with thoughtful, nostalgic storytelling, a hallmark of both artists.

Active Music Careers and Exciting Performances Ahead

In addition to this collaboration, both Nelson and Crockett are gearing up for busy schedules. Nelson recently celebrated his 90th birthday with an all-star concert, and Crockett is preparing for a packed tour schedule in 2024. His itinerary will take him across the U.S. and as far as Australia. Along the way, he will perform at notable festivals and share the stage with the likes of Hank Williams Jr.
