Synopsis

The film follows Crockett, his wife and fellow singer Taylor Day Grace, as well as his band The Blue Drifters as they embark on the first leg of his $10 Cowboy Tour at the start of 2024. [2] The film features numerous on-the-fly interviews of Crockett, backstage footage, as well as concert recordings that connect Charley with his past growing up poor in trailer parks into his start as an itinerant then with his present of being a big name and outlier in the country music industry. [3] [4]

The film initially started out as content meant for Crockett's social media, as well as supportive material for the $10 Cowboy's album rollout. [5]

Release

The film would premiere at the Austin Film Festival on October 24, 2025, then showing once at the Bullock IMAX Theatre, with a theatrical release planned but not yet officially announced, likely slated for a 2026 release date. [6]

In August 2025 Crockett explained in an interview with Ward Guenther that he had intended on releasing the film during the initial rollout and record cycle for his $10 Cowboy album, in mid-2024, but experienced issues with distribution. [7]
