Age Of The Ram is an upcoming album by Charley Crockett, set to be released on Lone Star Rider through Island Records on April 3, 2026. The album was the third and final part in Crockett's Sagebrush Trilogy of albums, that began with the release of Lonesome Drifter in March 2025.
Background
The story surrounding the album follows the fictional character of Billy McClane, who comes from the Marty Robbins' 1963 single, Old Red.[1][2] Charley initially started using the character in the title track to his 2024 album $10 Cowboy.
Recording
The album began recording on October 20, 2025, marking Shooter Jennings' final set of recordings in his residency at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, California. The album wrapped up initial recordings on October 31.[3] The album was later previewed on YouTube by Mario "Mayo" Valdez, The Blue Drifters' drummer, in a 3-and-a-half-minute video on November 4.[4]
The album's first single "Kentucky Too Long" was released on February 13, 2026.[5][6]
