Lil' G.L.'s Blue Bonanza is the fifth studio album by Charley Crockett, released on Son of Davy on December 7, 2018. The album was the second installment in the Lil' G.L. series of Crockett's albums.

Background

Coming directly off the heels of Lonesome as a Shadow , Crockett's fourth album, dropped in April of that year, Charley wasted no time getting back to recording. The album was the second in his Lil' G.L. series of albums, and followed the series' trend of covering some of Crockett's favorite country and blues songs. ^[1] As the title implied, the album was a much more blues heavy sound, although retaining some of its country influence featuring covers of T-Bone Walker, Charles Brown, Jimmy Reed, George Jones, Tom T. Hall, among many others. ^{[2] [3]}
