10 for Slim: Charley Crockett Sings James Hand (stylized as Lil' G.L. Presents: 10 for Slim: Charley Crockett Sings James Hand) is the eighth studio album by American singer Charley Crockett, released on February 26, 2021, through Son of Davy and distributed by Thirty Tigers. The album would serve as the third installment in Crockett's Lil' G.L. series of albums.
Background On June 8, 2020, Charley's friend and mentor James Hand, known to most as Slim, passed away unexpectedly. Hand had played a large role in Charley's love of country music, with the two first meeting in 2013. In 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic halted their touring, the two were paired up to tour together that year, and Crockett had made a promise that he would cut a record of Hand's songs before he died. The album's last track, "Slim's Lament", was the final song Hand wrote and recorded in his lifetime, having recorded it just a week prior to his passing and sending it to Charley that week.
