Charley Earley & Never2Late "Real Cowboys"

If a picture is worth a thousand words... this one should tell you folks that Charley Earley is already into his second half century. Born in Richmond, Virginia the year Sputnik orbited the globe, Charley has been singing as long as he can remember. Little did he know that his future would involve alot of globe trotting... but that's another story.

Charley Earley is a singer/songwriter at heart who believes in the underlying form of emotional variety and lyrical message, be it personally contemplative (Paint the Desert), materially humorous (Instant Rearview Mirror Total Love), first hand observant (Countless Shades of Blue), superfically sarcastic (Real Cowboys), southern period imaginitive (Hallowed Ground), a hopeless romantic reverie (Long Ride), human nature highway storytelling (Out There in Between), truckstop troubador (Rollin' Away), love chapter essentials (Little Bit o'Love), and/or ironically just pokin' fun (Texas Ain't Big Enough).

These 10 recordings are from his first CD entitled Charley Earley & Never2Late "Real Cowboys", now available in their complete dynamic and high fidelity format (trust us, alot goes on beyond 8MB), for download on itunes worldwide...
