Singer Songwriter Charley Crockett is such an authentic artist. He has lived one hell of a life to write about at 39 years old, so maybe thats why and how he has written and released 15 albums of songs which he tours around the globe performing. It wasn't always the 'big stage' for Charley, he was homeless for many years and busking on the streets to survive, not to mention he also was a marijuana farmer who spent some time in Jail. Hailing from a small poor city in South Texas provided little opportunity, but Charley always had one constant in his life... and that was music. Even the music of Bill Withers, which when Charley found out that Bill had recorded his amazing debut album "Just As I Am" here at Sunset Sound, he knew he had to record there too. Sit back and listen to the story of a "True Artist" and songwriter who never gave up that endured through a hard and turbulent past to do what he was meant to do in this life Charley and Producer Host Drew Dempsey sit down in legendary Studio 3 to have a beautiful conversation on... everything important in life.

The incomparable and complete legendary figures of musician songwriters David Paich and Steve Porcaro can only be told in "Wow".
