Summary
- Age of the Ram concludes Charley Crockett's Sagebrush Trilogy.
- Album centers on a loner living outside the law.
- Features nods to outlaw country icons like Willie and Waylon.
Age of the Ram, the third and final album in Charley Crockett's Sagebrush Trilogy, has been released. The album centers on the character of Billy McLane, a loner who exists outside the confines of the law, continuing the tradition of Western tall tales found in songs, novels, and films.
Inspired by Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy, Crockett crafted this series of records around distinct archetypes. While Dollar A Day focused on a rustler, Age of the Ram delves into the life of an outlaw figure, complete with lyrical references to iconic figures and outlaw country music.
The album prominently features covers and stylistic homages to outlaw country pioneers such as Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Crockett's approach blends familiar tropes with his own unique idiosyncrasies, creating a collage of sounds that includes country-funk, honky tonk, and laid-back travelogues, all while channeling the spirit of his influences.
