Charley Crockett Surprise Drops New Album “Clovis”
A new album from Charley Crockett, and dropped at 8:00 pm Central on a random Tuesday night? Why not. Or as Charley Crockett said on Instagram about 30 minutes after the surprise release, “You can drop a f-cking record whenever the f-ck you want. And what’s more important to me is dropping all this really good art right now.”
Saving Country Music had previously reported that before his last album Age of the Ram was released earlier this month, Crockett had already been working on his next one. “Sources say he’s been in Clovis, New Mexico recording at the old Norman Petty place that Buddy Holly helped make famous, as well as Shooter’s place in La La Land.”
Apparently, Charley Crockett couldn’t wait for the world to hear the results. At first glance, the worry was that maybe the surprise album Clovis had been accidentally or maliciously leaked. After all, the release date said “April 24th,” despite it being released on April 28th. The copyright was also not Island Records or Son of Davy—his previously-known labels. And hey, who released records on Tuesday?
Saving Country Music has confirmed from numerous sources that Charley Crockett is no longer with Island Records—the major label he signed to in order to release his “Sagebrush Trilogy.” Age of the Ram released on April 3rd was the final chapter. Crockett’s currently not signed to any label, though Clovis is attributed to the label “$10 Cowboy.” Crockett is also currently self-managed, and apparently is willing and able to do what he wants, whenever he wants to.
As for the album itself, it is a 14-song release, produced by Crockett, and co-produced by Shooter Jennings. The Norman Petty Studio where it was recorded is one of the most legendary studios in American history, though decidedly more off the beaten path compared to Sun Studios in Memphis, or Nashville’s RCA studios.
Norman Petty is who recorded all of Buddy Holly’s big hits. Roy Orbison, Buddy Knox, a young Waylon Jennings, Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs, and more also recorded there in the 1950s. In the 1980’s the studio was preserved in its mint 1950’s condition. People can still visit the studio in the east New Mexico town not too far from the Texas border, but it’s rarely used as an active studio, making Crockett’s Clovis unique.
Expect a proper album review for the release once it’s been digested here. Even people very close to Crockett were taken by surprise by the release. He’d wiped his Instagram account about a week previous, and then posted a photo of a man in prison, reaching for the set of door keys. Apparently Crockett was feeling caged. And now, he’s been set free.
Currently, the album can only be found ON SPOTIFY. More info when available.

Trigg what’s the scoop on this being added to other platforms?! I’m not paying Spotify shit and last I recall you can’t hear entire albums unless you’re a premium subscriber.
Also please tell me this record doesn’t have one goddam mention of Billy McLane
April 28, 2026 @ 7:58 pm
My understanding is the full intention is to distribute it to all streaming services, and likely to manufacture physical media at some point. Spotify is really the only service that has the capability of releasing music quickly without much notice. The others required many days.
It can’t be emphasized enough just how “surprise” this release is. When I saw it, I assumed it was an accidental leak, which we’ve seen over the years. Robert Earl Keen had that happen to an album. I reached out to some folks who work with Crockett, and they didn’t even know what was going on. Then he dropped the Instagram post and confirmed it was no accident.
I’m sure at some point, Crockett will explain everything. But my read on the situation at the moment is Crockett might not have been happy with his time on Island, was contractually free on April 3rd when “Age of the Ram” came out, and decided to release this one, perhaps even to scuttle the release cycle of “Age of the Ram,” which is still being promoted by Island.
April 28, 2026 @ 8:02 pm
In other words, he was dropped.
April 28, 2026 @ 8:44 pm
I don’t know if that was the case. Charley Crockett has been notorious for firing managers and other folks for years now. It might be that they didn’t get what they wanted out of Crockett, but it could be Crockett didn’t get what he wanted out of them.
April 28, 2026 @ 9:57 pm
From what CC has said in interviews over the last year, it sounds like he signed with Island for the release of the Sagebrush Trilogy only. This makes me suspect he used Island for money and to raise his profile so he got what he wanted and split.
At his concert in NOLA last week he stated that he had a gift for his fans coming within a week. So here it is.
Earlier this year, Springsteen recorded his Streets of Minneapolis song, released it to streaming, put out a video and went number one within days. I thought at the time that if a superstar can do it, why couldn’t current artists who aren’t currently tied to a label do it? Well, I guess this will show whether they can.
April 29, 2026 @ 7:27 am
Did he fire Bruce Robison?
April 29, 2026 @ 8:26 am
Bruce Robison was his manager like 15 managers ago. He fired 5-6 managers just in one year. Then he brought in people to work for him directly so he could manage himself … and then fired those people. This has been a big narrative about Crockett behind the scenes. I’m not saying this to put his business out on the street. I’m sure he would brag about it, and through this whole time he continues to ascend, at least as a live draw, so he’s doing something right. But I bring it up because there’s a good chance he fired Island, not vice versa. But honestly, I don’t know.
April 29, 2026 @ 9:00 am
As to the managers question, Charley sounds like a control freak who doesn’t trust anyone to handle his career decisions, possibly because he’s been burned before.
April 29, 2026 @ 1:29 am
The word Friday appears on Spotify next to the title so maybe that is an official release date when others will get it. And maybe Spotify got an exclusive for a couple of days.
April 29, 2026 @ 2:43 am
I remember him saying in an interview that he had started his Son of Davy label with a $175 registration fee years ago. Maybe he has started a new one for the purpose of releasing his own product without a middleman. His brand, profile, whatever is high enough now to get media attention for anything he puts out. Now is a good time to do something like this because the hard “product” isn’t the only revenue stream for an artist. Charley has built up a loyal fan base over the years and his live shows are killer.
April 29, 2026 @ 3:53 am
Thanks trigg dying to hear this guess I’ll wait it out till Friday. Not sure there’s any other way I’m in a real Johnny blue skies pickle
April 29, 2026 @ 2:45 am
Yes you can hear the entire album free but the ads are really annoying. And it looks like ole Billy bit the dust.
April 29, 2026 @ 3:31 am
I read somewhere it will be on all platforms from 1st May. I am hoping it will also be released on CD.
April 29, 2026 @ 11:10 pm
its now on Amazon music streaming.
April 30, 2026 @ 7:31 pm
You can hear entire albums on the free version of Spotify. You’ll just have to put up with a three-minute set of ads every five songs. I’m fine with that, but I realize that not being able to hear the whole album straight through is intolerable for some. If you are one of them, you can ignore this suggestion.
April 30, 2026 @ 10:26 pm
I agree with you. We have various ways to listen to music these days so you pay your money and take your choice. Or don’t pay your money and listen to a lot of ads.
April 28, 2026 @ 7:46 pm
Charley Crockett is a has been.
His Youtube numbers from Age of the Ram are dismal.
It’s over.
Scooper Jenning is the kiss of death.
April 28, 2026 @ 8:02 pm
lol. Keep telling yourself that.
April 28, 2026 @ 8:47 pm
Do you have a fully functioning brain? A has been?! You are a never was . Crockett is at the top of his game and the album he just released is amazing and he’s cracking out top tier songs. You can talk big all you want from your basement, let us know when you write your first song that no one will hear
April 29, 2026 @ 7:03 am
Charley has reached his zenith. He is now in free fall.
Rick Rubin will likely embalm him sometime next year.
April 29, 2026 @ 9:03 am
What, pray tell, does Rick Rubin have to do with the subject at hand, which is this album?
April 29, 2026 @ 9:14 am
Just look at what Rick “the undertaker”.Rubin did to Tyler Childers’ sound.
April 28, 2026 @ 8:56 pm
Big Jilm…can you please remind us of how many songs/albums you have released? How many shows you’ve sold out or played? How many units you’ve sold? Before you call anyone a “has been” you might want to look at what you have done with your life. Most people who hate on others, actually hate themselves and angry about the success of others. This sounds like you.
April 29, 2026 @ 1:24 pm
That is a pretty lame argument.
Every Bro-Country singer could say the same thing to the SCM comment station.
By your logic, we are all self-loathing.
April 28, 2026 @ 9:57 pm
He is far from written off. Listen to this amazing album and then form your own opinion. It’s possibly the best album he’s ever made.
April 29, 2026 @ 4:12 pm
Very much agree. This is my favorite Crockett by quite a bit, and that’s saying something because he has a handful of previous albums that are future classics too.
April 29, 2026 @ 2:59 am
Little Jim, you know not of what you speak
April 29, 2026 @ 4:14 pm
Ok Big Jiz!
April 29, 2026 @ 7:53 pm
It’s on Amazon Music now.
April 28, 2026 @ 7:50 pm
Amazing album. Some of his best work. Love this guy
April 28, 2026 @ 7:53 pm
Hmmm….can confirm it is present on Deezer also, with the April 24th date of release as you mentioned. Crazy, but amazing.
As a side note, I wish we could go back to releasing albums on Tuesdays. It brings back memories from my childhood.
April 28, 2026 @ 8:45 pm
Tuesday was such a better release day. On Fridays, folks are focused on getting off of work, going to shows, getting out of town for the weekend. You had a lot more focus from the public on Tuesdays.
April 29, 2026 @ 2:30 am
Yeah, I remember running down to Tower Records every Tuesday back in the 70s just to see what was new. There’s not much else going on Tuesdays anyway.
April 28, 2026 @ 8:01 pm
Charley is a gd Louis l’Amour throwback protagonist, and a modern day prolific artist like the author … self-made, steeped in the lore, code, geography and ethos of the oldest. I’m reading the High Graders and Charley is a lot like the hero Mike Shevlin.
Determined to do right and not entirely sure how to go about it behind taking the bull by the horns and living his truth. Should be Buddy Holly and Joe Ely covers on this one or the next to do right by Clovis.
Says here Charley should got a disc or geo two Roth done of them border country and Four Corners res bands … the vibe, the drawl, the sly pop sensibilities, the haunting ballads and unvarnished truth are spot on. Apache Spirit, Fenders, Pima Express, Stateline, Lightning Rock … let the Blue Drifters ride into town and capitalize on they fortune and fame with money eating holes in they pockets …
April 29, 2026 @ 3:43 pm
Well, SOMEBODY needs to bring Buddy back.(At least until Selena Gomez does the Linda Ronstadt biopic, and then it will probably just be “It’s So Easy”.).
April 28, 2026 @ 8:36 pm
On a quick first listen “The Hallelujah Trail” is Charley at his peak. Album feels closer to welcome to hard times than his last few concept albums.
April 28, 2026 @ 10:48 pm
Albuquerque Lights is about Jim Sullivan, a songwriter who disappeared while driving from LA to Nashville in 1975. One theory involves alien abduction.
Honky Tonk Philosophy reminds me of Gary Stewart. Some of these are more country than anything he’s done recently.
“I’ve been fenced in, sold off, played out
Left for dead boys, there isn’t any doubt
But that’s all right, that’s all right my friends
I know Waylon, Waylon rides again.
Somebody once told us we need a change
His portrait’s on the wall but everything’s the same
We’re bought and sold by desperate men
So Waylon rides again
Just like times back then
Waylon rides again”
I’m getting the feeling that he was not happy with his experience on a major label.
April 29, 2026 @ 2:49 am
I would even say every song on this album is Charley Crockett at his peak.
April 28, 2026 @ 9:48 pm
Nah yall know yall seen my reddit post calling this!!! I called it the night of his show at the saenger.
April 29, 2026 @ 2:26 am
I remember. I didn’t think even CC and SJ could turn an album around this fast. Especially and have it sound this good.
April 29, 2026 @ 11:09 pm
From the video posted today, it looks like he was in his bus parked outside Saenger. It’s daylight so he must have uploaded the album before he went in to do the show. He was guessing a week or less and it took about four days. Were you out there peeking into the bus, Jeremy? LOL!
April 28, 2026 @ 9:55 pm
Well, it was about time. It’s been weeks since his last album was released…
But joking aside: I just listened to the album: it’s absolutely amazing! This is Charley Crockett as I love him: country, but incredibly funky, bluesy, jazzy and soulful. The Slbum is better than the entire Sagebrush trilogy. One of his best albums. Super varied and extremely powerful and precise.
April 28, 2026 @ 10:06 pm
I’m listening to it right now and loving it. This is way more “commercial” than Age of the Ram. I’ve been expecting him to follow Sagebrush with something more blues-ey and this is definitely that. I definitely hear that Waylon influence on some of these songs, which explains why Charley wanted to record it in Clovis and Shooter got the studio opened just for them.
And Trigger – that pic of a man in jail on Instagram is Marlon Brando and there is a song on here called One Eyed Jack.
April 28, 2026 @ 11:40 pm
After all the trivial embarrassing Stagecoach showbiz nonsense last weekend, this is the right album at the right time to keep the faith in country music alive.
April 29, 2026 @ 12:34 am
If I see one more item about Ella I’m going to puke. And I like some of her stuff.
April 29, 2026 @ 1:20 am
I wasn’t necessarily referring to Ms. Langley.
April 29, 2026 @ 1:33 am
I like her but think she’s getting overexposed. OTOH, there are a few I can think of that seem to be desperate for attention – any attention. It’s obvious that Stagecoach isn’t about music anymore.
April 29, 2026 @ 3:37 am
I am sure Island records will not be pleased as his last release was a month or so ago. Age of the Ram is good, $10 Dollar Cowboy I think is his best to date. Shooter Jennings has done a good job producing him. Crockett is prolific. Too prolific? Having said that, I have enjoyed all his albums. All have his unique style and well written songs. All are good albums. He does not appear to release bad albums. For me, it is a bit soon for a new album as I am still enjoying his last few albums but I am looking forward to his new one. It will be well worth a listen.
April 29, 2026 @ 3:57 am
I’m not sure if anybody has picked up on this yet, but Waylon Jennings is listed as the co-writer on most of the songs on the album on Spotify. Could these be renditions of unreleased or unrecorded songs that Waylon wrote?
April 29, 2026 @ 7:32 am
Well technically Shooter’s name is Waylon Jennings.
April 29, 2026 @ 7:33 am
I believe that the “Waylon A. Jennings” that is listed in the credits (I put the songwriters at the bottom of this article as well) is Shooter Jennings, not Waylon Sr. Shooter’s legal name is “Waylon Albright Jennings.” Then again, Waylon’s full name is “Waylon Arnold Jennings.” The reason I still think it’s probably Shooter is there are other modern songwriters credited on these songs. So unless these were unfinished Waylon songs that Charley and others completed, then I just don’t see how those credits line up. All that said, who the “Waylon A. Jennings” is in the song credits is something we need to confirm.
May 1, 2026 @ 4:48 pm
That’s what I would like to know
April 29, 2026 @ 4:35 am
Pretty cool that he picked Clovis, I had a college buddy who lived in Friona, TX, right across the NM border, if you stood in his front yard you didn’t see anything 360 degrees but a few small grain silos till the earth curved. It’s the perfect place to find yourself. Check out the video, ‘Lubbock Lights ‘ its a good study of what many artists think about that area of the country and why so much great artists and music come from there. I’m really looking forward to hearing this!
April 29, 2026 @ 5:31 am
Good for Charlie. Nothing kills the creative process like working with a label.
April 29, 2026 @ 6:55 am
What a nice surprise! Charley keeping his fans well fed (looking at those artists who wait 4+ years between albums).
April 29, 2026 @ 7:03 am
This man has an output greater in quality and quantity than many of the so-called stars of mainstream Nashville country, backed by legions of assembly-line songwriters.
April 29, 2026 @ 11:49 am
Would rather artists take time to put out quality albums, not 20 song albums twice a year.
April 29, 2026 @ 7:56 pm
Some artists can put out two (or more) quality albums a year and some can’t put out one decent album even with a dozen songwriters.
April 29, 2026 @ 7:46 am
I’ll listen to it but I’m not sure why CC insists on trying to manufacture up some Taylor Swift-style fandom nonsense
April 29, 2026 @ 1:26 pm
It is his shtick. I saw him before Turnpike in 2017 and he wouldn’t shut up about a thin Davy Crockett connection.
April 29, 2026 @ 7:55 am
As a small minuscule radio presenter who is lucky and privileged to receive a lot of music each week, I believe it’s too soon for another release. I’m still digesting AOTR and all of Sagebrush. There’s just so much music around nowadays it’s hard to keep up with it all. I’m sure the album is a cracker and it’s warming and heartening to already see positive comments about it, but I don’t know what is worse, releasing so many albums in quick succession ie. 2 or 3 a year or other artists releasing 20/30/40 track opuses. I might get ’round to listening to this in a few months, I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait. Let’s just hope he’s not banking on some early radio airplay, that’s if it has been distributed to radio at all at this stage.
April 29, 2026 @ 8:21 am
It’s clearly too soon to release a new album. My understanding is that it is still being promoted to radio, to press, to playlists. I was on South Congress yesterday in Austin, there are stencils on the sidewalks promoting “Age of the Ram.” Crockett is currently at the top of the Americana radio charts. Like I said with Ella Langley’s new single with Morgan Wallen, you release too much music in a short window, you start competing with yourself and undercutting your own best interests.
That said, that might be exactly what Charley Crockett is intending to do here. He might be trying to disrupt Island Records as they try to recoup their investment through album sales. I’m not reporting that’s what happening. I’m just spitballing in a comments section. But I think that’s a possibility when looking at the signs.
April 29, 2026 @ 8:09 am
Clearly Charley’s career is in trouble.
He’s got Hollywood gossip columnist, Linda Cauthen on speed dial.
Clovis is a rush job stinker.
It is Chapter 11 in 3, 2, 1…
April 29, 2026 @ 8:15 am
Big Jilm,
You’ve said you’re peace here. Quit trolling. It’s disrupting the conversation.
April 29, 2026 @ 9:07 am
And you censored half of it, as usual.
April 30, 2026 @ 10:13 am
Wish it had been a higher %.
April 29, 2026 @ 10:28 am
I haven’t written a column about Hollywood or anything else in decades and don’t currently work for anyone because I’m retired. If Charley has major financial problems as you have alluded to before, why doesn’t he go for those sweet endorsements and other corporate cash like most country artists have these days?
April 29, 2026 @ 8:14 am
Some of their previous co-writes are credited to Matthew Charles Crockett and Waylon Albright Jennings.
April 29, 2026 @ 9:09 am
Maybe he did it for the fans, who hopefully will add it to their playlists and give him some nice streaming numbers. And buy lots of tickets and merch. The days of physical product being an artist’s main source of revenue have passed. It’s a jungle out there and the artists are trying to navigate it as best they can.
April 29, 2026 @ 10:22 am
This is Crockett’s 17th album since 2015; 11 of them in the 2020’s. The dude is a music machine and is as independent as they come. I like this new album more than Age of the Ram. Is this album too soon? Probably, but I am sure he has his reasons. He could have released it around Christmas time for higher sales. But he is making all the big label country artists with a team of songwriters who release an album every 2-4 years look lazy. I think since he almost died and had open heart surgery in 2019 he’s been on a spree making as much music as he can while he can; life is short and you never know when your time will come.
April 29, 2026 @ 10:33 am
Agree on the heart surgery part. He does seem kinda obsessed with his own mortality.
As for Clovis, he couldn’t have released it at Christmas because it wasn’t recorded until literally last month. They began right after SXSW.
April 29, 2026 @ 11:21 am
Charley pulled a J Cole and I love it. Sign with a major label, get your money and go back independent. This album is much more of the Crockett I like. As far as him behind the scenes, I can’t blame him for firing folks, most are there to benefit themselves and not necessarily the artist. Maybe he is an asshole to the white suits but who cares.
What’s funny I was just complaining about him going to a major label and it changing his sound. Seems like he came to the same conclusion.
April 29, 2026 @ 3:53 pm
Ok you guys got over excited and over hyped it. It’s on Amazon now. It’s good and better than sagebrush trilogy but someone said hard times level good. It ain’t that. There’s no song on here as good as odessa or wreck me or Charlene or even lonesome dove. But it’s good and possibly over saturation is making some of the better tracks fall on deaf ears.
April 29, 2026 @ 4:19 pm
Strike when the iron is hot, the music business is fickle, I don’t mind the quick release of material, I had to go through periods of time when artists wouldn’t release an album for 2 years. Maybe he is so prolific, that he needs to get it out and then see where the dust settles. He sure has people talking about him. I totally enjoy his music, ’nuff said!
April 29, 2026 @ 6:18 pm
Is it banded as hell? Is it fluted as well?
And here I was expecting a Lil G.L. album sometime later this year.
If I recall correctly, “Visions of Dallas” was released rather soon after “$10 Cowboy”. If this type of release schedule works for CC, then more power to him. I’m a fan so it works for me as well.
April 30, 2026 @ 8:19 am
Well Visions of Dallas was quite literally $10 Cowboy part 2 like the name implied. It wasn’t another record he cut after $10 Cowboy. It was all recorded during those sessions as all of Visions of Dallas was meant to be on $10 Cowboy serving as a double album but Thirty Tigers didn’t like the idea.
April 30, 2026 @ 8:12 pm
Hey, you can bet that we’ll be hearing more from Charley in 2026 since it’s only April and he’s free to do any damn thing he wants to.
April 29, 2026 @ 7:22 pm
About an hour ago a video was posted on his Facebook of him sitting on his tour bus uploading the album to Tunecore. It was shot by the guy who did his London documentary who was asking him questions about it. He said that the last time he did this was his first album Stolen Jewel. He also said that he paid $300,000 to do Clovis on his own.
April 30, 2026 @ 7:33 am
Just listened on Amazon Music. Very enjoyable throughout.
April 30, 2026 @ 8:48 am
Well i listened to it this morning. Im a big fan of his but not this album. Has five songs i put on my charley playlist but a couple of those i went back n forth on. Its probably my least favorite album of his. Even the 3 songs i liked are technically weak compared to most of his songs i like.
April 30, 2026 @ 9:17 am
i agree but can’t put my finger on why. it just lacks the ballads maybe. its all this talky talky bs he’s doing these days. just sing!
May 1, 2026 @ 8:26 am
I actually really like it, seems like Charlie has taken a shine to the West Texas plains, multiple reference to the Llano Estacado, and tophand. His Rancho Deluxe songs also are great remakes. Keep it coming Charlie, my wish is he does his version of Jimmy Buffett’s ‘Livingston’s gone to Texas’ !
May 1, 2026 @ 8:27 am
Rancho Deluxe, sorry
May 1, 2026 @ 11:09 am
Ive not really taken in all of the sagebrush trilogy, hes releasing stuff so fast its hard to digest. Someone argued that this is better than waiting for someone who releases an album every three or four years is frustrating but it depends what the quality of it is .
A lot of bands i read about actually go into the studio with loads of songs and a lot never get used.
May 2, 2026 @ 4:53 am
I like this album as a whole better than any of the sagebrush albums. However I can’t help but think he might have been better off condensing 4 into 2. If he took the bangers off all four and made 2 albums this two albums would be regarded as elite. Still love Charley and can’t wait to see him in Mobile.
May 2, 2026 @ 5:02 am
After a few listens, I really like this album, my brother and brother in law also agree. There are a lot of great songs, I also like the instrumental interlude, if that’s the right term, I like Waylon rides again, but then again, I’m a big Waylon fan from a looong time ago.
Wonder if Charlie visited with Waylon’s brother James at Waymores in Littlefield?
May 2, 2026 @ 7:07 am
Yes, Charley stopped by there, he featured Waymore’s in a video a while back, and apparently shot a whole scene with James for a film that might or might not ever be made.
May 2, 2026 @ 8:27 am
Thanks Trig, James is a hoot, got spend an hour with him a few years ago, I’m heading to Lubbock this month for daughters graduation and hopefully we can take a quick jaunt out there to visit. My son wants to meet him. We are big fans of the movie ‘McIntosh and TJ with Roy Rogers at the 666) ranch. Waylon did the soundtrack and Charlie covered one of the songs on his last record. It was really good, I might say.
Is there anywhere that those videos of Charlie st Waymores are available to see. Thanks!
May 2, 2026 @ 8:35 am
So looking back, when Crockett was on Joe Rogan, I reported, “Charley Crockett explains that he made a movie called $10 Cowboy that involves in part the liquor store called Waymore’s in the hometown of Waylon Jennings, Littlefield, TX, operated by Waylon’s brother. The store also includes a shrine/museum to Waylon in a side room. When Saving Country Music stopped by Waymore’s in 2024, it was right after Crockett had been there, and James Jennings mentioned the taping of the movie. Crockett left it open if the film would ever come out, but it’s definitely something to keep on the radar.”
There is also a local report about it here:

Thanks for the info, James is a hoot, got to hang with him for an hour a few years ago, genuine guy, great stories, well worth the trip to Littlefield.
I’m headed to Lubbock this month for my daughter’s graduation at Tech and my son and I hope to carve out a quick trip to see him. We are big fans of the Roy Roger’s last movie McIntosh and TJ which Waylon did the soundtrack, Charlie covered ‘All around cowboy’ on his last last album, and was great.
Which Charlie video did he do at Waymores? I’d love to see that.

Hello Trigger,
There is a German-language online site called “CMN – Country Music News.de”. Your entire review of “Clovis” is translated there word for word into German, without you being named as the author. Instead, a “Noah Oliver” is given as the author. The entire German review is exactly like your original English review on SCM.
Here is the link:

Thanks for the heads up. This happens more than you know. I’ll look into it.
