In the Night

Crockett has a smooth, Bill Withers-worthy croon, but he uses in a variety of ways on the new record, depending on the song. He tells it like it is and lets the brass boost him on “Silver Dagger” and “Baby 123.” He hops on the Zydeco train with “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights.” He goes full-on honky-tonk for “Look What You Done.” And there’s some old-soul influences in “Out of Bad Luck.”
