There are outlaw country singers – and then there\u2019s Dale Watson. Watson has built a 40+ year career out of ignoring trends and championing authentic country music, writing songs that come from real lived experience and demand to be performed with nothing but heart and soul. Getting his start in honky-tonks and bars all over the country, from Texas to Los Angeles to Nashville, Watson knows the power of a well-written song and he knows how each performer brings a little something unique to the songs they sing, which is what makes Watson\u2019s new album\u00a0Jukebox Fury<\/em>\u00a0such a natural next step and one of the most profound statements in Watson\u2019s prolific catalog.

Jukebox Fury<\/em>\u00a0finds Watson covering some of his favorite artists and peers, performing songs that have stood the test of time and are probably right now blaring out of the corner jukebox at the local dive bar. The album\u2019s first single sets the stage with a 1978 classic from the original outlaw cowboy, Waylon Jennings, \u201cI\u2019ve Always Been Crazy,\u201d performed by Watson as a duet with Nashville royalty, the great Lorrie Morgan. In Watson and Morgan\u2019s hands, the song becomes an emotionally poignant tale of two veterans who have seen their fair share of heartache and hard times, but who somehow keep themselves sane through it all, and keep coming back for more. Producer Danny B. Harvey, best known for his work with rockabilly acts like The Swing Cats and The Head Cat, shapes a gorgeous and austere musical backing punctuated with bright twangy guitar and tinkling piano.\u00a0

Harvey had this to say of the track, \u201cAs if producing and playing guitar on Dale Watson\u2019s new album wasn\u2019t enough of an honor and a privilege, the added bonus of getting to produce the legendary Lorrie Morgan on the same track, is historic. Add Johnny Cash & Gram Parson\u2019s pianist Earl Poole Ball to the mix and I have to pinch myself to make sure I\u2019m awake. This track will blow your mind, and I\u2019m sure Waylon is looking on and very proud of what we\u2019ve done with his song.\u201d
