For today: Tyler Childers.
From the same neck of the woods as Chris Stapleton: bluegrass Kentucky.
Google "Van Lear" and you'll see the region ... it's mainly coal mining.
Kinda rough, like it is growin' up around Van Lear.
Now Tyler's got his backing band. He wrote all songs on this album.
Stuart Duncan on the fiddle. "What's the difference between a violin and a fiddle?
You can spill beer on a fiddle." Mike Moffat. You still out there, @Baldr?
The polished country sound is now here. Produced by Sturgill Simpson.
Song composed by Stephen Sondheim.
Tyler's admonishment re: the BLM movement. The entire album is mournful
bluegrass instrumentals that up to this final song. It's a moving poignant
protest album hoping to educate his fellow Kentuckians. Quite heavy, folks.
From 2011 to 2020. HD800 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
