This week a buddy of mine, and fellow Charley Crockett fan, sent me a nearly three-year-old video that, to be honest, I'm kinda sad I haven't seen before. It's a pure set your hair on fire cover of the late, great Possum. Charley is a fan and ardent student of country music giants including George Jones, and hearing and watching him tackle "The Race Is On" will quickly turn anyone's bad day good.

Shoutout to YouTuber robwas who recorded it live at Parker Press Park in Woodbridge NJ on July 11, 2018. It is part of the Free Country Sundays/Woodbridge Wednesdays concert series.

Like these two YouTube watchers say, it is can't-miss. Connor Hauss "He pulls off that George Jones sound pretty well." J.W Goode "Always like this song! And have become a fan of charley. But when i seen this I didnt think it would work with his vocals but I was completely wrong."
