I know he has been around but to me he is very underrated and has some bangers

Very underrated in my opinion. The first time I heard him was on XM and heard Tonight/You Shook Me All Night Long. It was the perfect song for someone who grew up in a small town in Texas.

ETA: I lived in a town in east Texas less than 2000 people, so I could relate.

Charlie and brother Bruce are two of the best storytellers in the business.

Loving county is one of my favorites and the live version is so damn good. He is a good story teller


ETA: East Texas has some damn good artists come out of there

I know this will be an unpopular opinion... but 'El Cerrito Place' is a beating of a song

I haven't cared for much of the stuff he has put out recently, but I wore of the Life of the Party album back in the 90s and would go see him play at little places around town.

Met him twice. He is genuine. I really like his music.

My Hometown is a great song..didn’t he have something wrong with his voice and have to stop touring?

I like Charlie Robison's music a lot. Wish he was still able to tour.

You can watch his Live at Billy Bob's concert on Amazon Prime. Solid stuff.

He did. Some sort of vocal surgery went awry and he retired. I'm a big fan of Charlie's music. From Life of the Party to Beautiful Day he put out some quality tunes. Plus he was fantastic live. Hate he had to hang it up.

Great artist.

Dude also loves hyping up his son that’s a monster at baseball on facebook.

Wish his throat didn’t shite the bed and had to retire.

Only to people who only know the cover by whoever tried to cover it.

It's probably in my top 3 favorite CR songs with Loving Country and Good Times.

Total badass singer songwriter. Wish he’d still write.

That's all that matters. Too many fit the mold types.

New Year’s Day is an awesome South Texas song.

There are a few other Live at Billy Bob's concert videos on Prime Video as well: Josh Ward, David Allen Coe, Toadies, Charlie Daniels, Billy Joe Shaver, and a few others.

It does (like Mark Chestnutt, Beaumont) but Bandera is not East Texas!
