**************************************************************
Dexter Crockett’s music echoes a tradition of storytelling that has its roots in the great songwriters of Country Music. Raised in a small town, Dexter grew up picking fruit in orchards, tending livestock or gleaning crops, before moving to the big city. Like many other displaced rural souls, he found kinship in the working class people he met along the way, who shared his simple philosophy: work hard and you’ll get ahead, take responsibility for your actions and trust in the Lord.
The economy of his language and his depth of insight into the human soul shows again and again in his songs. He tells it like it is. Love hurts and it’s not simple. Sometimes people make mistakes and are blind to the obvious. We all share the common bond of needing to love and be loved by someone. Loneliness gives rise to desperation, but all is never lost if you hang on to your sense of humor.
For this collection of songs, Dexter Crockett surrounds himself with first-rate musicians, who also happen to be his good friends and the result is evident. The fun comes out, everybody shines and his songs transport the listener to that magical place, where troubles are forgotten, a smile or a tear appear and you might find yourself suddenly dancing with the one you love.
