It’s a measure of how beloved Chris Penn is with

It’s a measure of how beloved Chris Penn is within the North Texas music community both how rapidly the news traveled, and how swiftly the help and good wishes seemed to pour in.

Late Thursday night, Tim DeLaughter, front man for the Polyphonic Spree and Tripping Daisy, as well as Penn’s business partner in Good Records, posted a harrowing update on his social channels about his collaborator and friend.

Penn was working on the display windows in front of Good Records outside its Garland Road location around 11 a.m. on March 17. He fell directly on his back. The effects were instantaneous and devastating.

“As you may or may not know, Chris has been dealing with back and spine issues for quite some time now,” DeLaughter wrote, in part, on Facebook. “He had a surgery on his neck from a fall last year, and at that time, they discovered that he had ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL). What all that means is he has very little space in his spinal canal and his spine has fused together, limiting his mobility.

“All that said, the fall was catastrophic for him. His spinal cord was bruised, and paralysis was immediate from the neck down.”

A decade and more than a dozen albums later, singer-songwriter @charleycrockett has taken the next step, moving from his relentless, self-motivated hustle to a major label signing, releasing his 15th studio album, “Lonesome Drifter,” on Island Records.

“This is my first LP on a major label,” Crockett wrote in a March 14 Instagram post. “If you know me, then you already know they gave me everything I wanted… This album here, it just kinda happened like a casual conversation you might say.”

To celebrate the new record, Crockett will perform on the stage inside @goodrecords on Saturday, March 22.
