Newbury’s American Trilogy.” This thematic thread aims to create an epic saga through music.
Personal Milestones
On a personal level, Crockett has achieved significant milestones. In 2019, he nearly died and underwent heart surgeries but emerged stronger than ever. He married Taylor Grace in 2024 on Willie Nelson’s ranch, marking a moment of stability after years of hard work and success.
“It’s a good feeling,” Crockett says, reflecting on his career. “Sometimes it feels like Pretty Boy Floyd, and maybe it’s going to end in a hail of gunfire. That’d be all right too.” He is proud that he has reached a point where people recognize him for who he is.
The Future
For Crockett, the future lies not just in numbers but in legacy. “I’m not writing that off,” he says, acknowledging the importance of streaming and ticket sales while maintaining his focus on authenticity. He cites legends like Willie Nelson as role models for artistic independence and authenticity.
“They were people who sold crazy amounts of records, but they did it their way,” Crockett explains. “They got bloody breaking through the wall that they’d built around Nashville.” His goal is to create music that resonates with genuine emotion and personal truth rather than chasing commercial success at any cost.
