Age of the Ram is the sixteenth studio album by Charley Crockett, set to be released on Lone Star Rider through Island Records on April 3, 2026. The album is the third and final part of what has been described as Crockett's Sagebrush Trilogy of albums, which began with the release of Lonesome Drifter in March 2025 and continued with Dollar a Day that August.
The story surrounding the album follows the fictional character of Billy McClane, who comes from Marty Robbins' 1963 single "Old Red". Crockett initially started using the character in the title track to his 2024 album $10 Cowboy.
The album began recording on October 20, 2025, marking Shooter Jennings' final set of recordings in his residency at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, California. The album wrapped up initial recordings on October 31. The album was later previewed on YouTube by Mario "Mayo" Valdez, The Blue Drifters' drummer, in a three-and-a-half-minute video on November 4.
The album's first single, "Kentucky Too Long", was released on February 13, 2026.
