Charlie is currently doing time on the panel of judges for Nashville Star. TCB interviewed Charlie when he was set to release his latest album Step Right Up. The man proved to be a working contradiction to the image most people have of him...


Johnny Paycheck

 “Yeah, I'm an outlaw. The pilgrims were outlaws, too, y’know. They wanted to do it their way. An outlaw is someone who believes in himself and doesn’t give a damn what others think.”

"My music's always been about life. And situations. Situation comedies, situation life"
