Despite the album\u2019s positive reception, the Turnpike Troubadours did not receive a Grammy nomination. Consequently, Charley Crockett recently took to Instagram to say that he was willing to give away his nomination to Turnpike. <\/p>\n<p>Charley Crockett Pays Credit Where Credit Is Due<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRIEceDDzLS\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> post, Charley Crockett wrote, \u201cVolunteering to give up my nomination with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/recordingacademy\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@recordingacademy<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/turnpiketroubadours\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@turnpiketroubadours<\/a>\u00a0who not only earned the right with Price Of Admission, but for which without\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/felkersongs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@felkersongs<\/a>\u00a0I might not have ever even shown up on the map to be nominated in the first place.\u201d \u201cAnd besides, Evan Felker\u2019s the best damn songwriter of all of us. See, Texas and Oklahoma can get along.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Crockett added a picture of himself and Felker, with a caption recalling how the musician helped kick-start his career. The caption stated, \u201cI was standing out at Gruene Hall handing out CDs on a street corner \u2019cause I couldn\u2019t get into the show. Handed a guy a CD, his name was Evan Felker. I didn\u2019t know who he was at the time, but he was the frontman for the Turnpike Troubadours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The caption continued, \u201cHe took it home and listened to it with his then girlfriend, now wife. Lo and behold, his agent John Folk called me up and started booking me.\u201d While Crockett is certainly echoing the opinion of many, this unfortunately probably won\u2019t enact a change amongst the Recording Academy. Regardless, the sentiment is certainly there, and many people likely agree with Charley Crockett. <\/p>\n<p>Photo by Bobby Cochran<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier this November, the Recording Academy announced the full list of nominees for the 2026 Grammy Awards.
