Midnight Run - Charley Crockett - MP3 instrumental karaoke

With a sound steeped in vintage country, blues, soul, and classic storytelling, "Midnight Run" showcases Charley Crockett’s talent for channeling old-school grit through a fresh, lived-in lens. The song is a standout track from Charley Crockett’s 2021 album 10 for Slim: Charley Crockett Sings James Hand. "Midnight Run" was released originally by James "Slim" Hand in 2009. Driven by a twangy guitar, and Charley Crockett’s signature baritone drawl, "Midnight Run" paints a picture of a restless traveler on the move—haunted by time, choices, and the ghosts of a hard-lived life. There's a timeless quality to "Midnight Run", echoing the influences of artists like Townes Van Zandt and Johnny Cash, but with Charley Crockett’s own streetwise, southern romanticism. "Midnight Run” isn’t just a track—it’s a road-weary confessional wrapped in honky-tonk soul and a fitting tribute to James "Slim" Hand, who passed away in 2020.
