Good Day Noir Family,
welcome to Edgar Allan Poets indie music corner. A space dedicated to the best new artists and bands we find around the web. Today’s feature band is Blue Shirt Charlie and their single Crazy Woman.
Crazy Woman is Blue Shirt Charlie’s Single
The rhythmic cadence of this song mesmerized me.
A drumbeat that hypnotizes you like a metronome accompanied by a delicate vocal melody. In some moments the singer’s voice reminded me of Chris Martin from Cold Play.
Surely we are dealing with great musicians with a lot of compositional experience behind them.
Crazy Woman is a song dynamically built in an impeccable way. The musical arrangements are minimalistic and sophisticated. The chord progression is interesting and the crescendo of this tune is contagious.
The attention to every minimum detail is obsessive and demonstrates extraordinary compositional skills.
Blue Shirt Charlie‘s new single is very catchy and fresh and I think it will bring great luck to this band.

Crazy Woman is Blue Shirt Charlie’s Single
At the dawn of the alt-Country movement, Blue Shirt Charlie garnered early attention purveying their brand of amped-up Americana in cities and towns along Central Texas’ Brazos River. The band’s staple—rootsy authenticity buoyed by pounding rhythms and effects-laden guitars—translated effortlessly between arty college rock stages and beer soaked honky-tonks. Lyrics rewarded repeated listens as weighty topics emerged, hinting influences as disparate as Elliott Smith, Steve Earle, early U2 and the Old 97’s.
The band—Richie Sessions, Russ Chapman, and Lex Lipsitz—reconvened in 2022 with themes of hope and renewal tempered by scar tissue from divorce, war deployments, and bolt-from-the-blue tragedies. New music slated for 2023 was born at Southern Comfort, a studio built inside the former Nashville home of outlaw country icon Waylon Jennings. Members of the outfit—now based in Tennessee—spent intervening years penning tunes for other artists (Wade Bowen), touring (Shooter Jennings/Stargunn), fronting side projects (Redneck Social Club, The Mars McClanes, Future Trips), and mining the studio with artists as diverse as Kid Ink and Sean Stemaly.
