The Valley is the sixth studio album by American singer Charley Crockett, released on September 20, 2019, through Son of Davy and distributed by Thirty Tigers. It was co-produced by Crockett, Billy Horton, and Nate Moeller.
The album's cover art pays tribute to Johnny Paycheck and is based on Paycheck's 1967 album, Jukebox Charlie.
Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that Crockett spent the latter half of the 2010s cranking out albums like he were "attempting to outrun a demon". He would go onto note The Valley does indeed bear the marks of memoir, containing songs about his hardscrabble childhood and colorful journey.
