    Biography:
    Like many great Southern storytellers, singer-songwriter Tyler Childers has fallen in love with a place. The people, landmarks and legendary moments from his childhood home of Lawrence County, Kentucky, populate the 10 songs in his formidable debut, Purgatory, an album that’s simultaneously modern and as ancient as the Appalachian Mountains in which events unfold.
    The album, co-produced by Grammy Award winners Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson, is a semiautobiographical sketch of Childers’ growth from wayward youth to happily married man, told in the tradition of a Southern gothic novel with a classic noir antihero who may just be irredeemable. Purgatory is a chiaroscuro painting with darkness framing light in high relief. There’s catharsis and redemption. Sin and temptation. Murder and deceit. Demons and angels. Moonshine and cocaine. So much moonshine and cocaine. All played out on the large, colorful canvas of Eastern Kentucky.
    Childers had been searching for a certain sound for his debut album for years as he honed his craft, and was finding it elusive when his friend, drummer Miles Miller, introduced him to Simpson, the Grammy Award-winning musician and fellow Kentuckian. Childers sent Simpson a group of his songs, then went to visit him in Nashville.
    “And he said, ‘There’s this sound. I know what you’re trying to get at, the mountain sound,’” Childers recalled. “’So I asked, ‘What are you doing?’”
    Intrigued, Simpson enlisted the aid of Ferguson, the Grammy Award winning sound engineer. They assembled a band that included multi-instrumentalists Stuart Duncan, Michael J. Henderson and Russ Pahl, bassist Michael Bub and Miller on drums, of course, and helped Childers make a debut album of consequence that announces an authentic new voice.
    “I was writing an album about being in the mountains,” Childers said. “I wanted it to have that gritty mountain sound. But at the same time, I wanted a more modern version of it that a younger generation can listen to-the people I grew up with, something I’d want to listen to.”

    I’m an old school rap head from nyc and never liked country except a few. Johnny cash and Merle haggard and the like. This dude is the real deal, you can feel his voice like cash, cobain, and biggie. Lesson here is to always give someone a shot. Never judge a book by its cover. I thought this would be another pop country boring ass CMA type, I was wrong. Props to this dude.

    I've watched several, if not all, of his videos on UA-cam. I swear when that man sings he transcends somewhere and some old spirit just takes over. His eyes are so dark and they are constantly moving about. His presence on stage and the way he stares off, it's like he's living in the moment of the song. He's seeing what you're hearing. His ballads are in a class all to themselves.

      yessir... I had the good fortune to catch him live in Fort Worth. I had never heard of him, I befriended his road manager that day though, who ended up giving me tickets to come to see him perform that night. And holy shit was I blown away?!?!?! He's probably my favorite singer/song writer right now. This dude has some serious swagger... Check out his performance of "Nose To The Grindstone I captured that night. That little shift he does at the end of the song, lol. love it. A true southern troubadour...

  • @stiffyvokes2404

    Tina Nolan had a man with a good place for siftin'.
    He invited me diggin', so I picked up my screen,
    And a shovel to dig and a jar of 'shine,
    Traded me fair for a bottle of wine -
    His brother's Barnes Mountain wine.
    We trudged through the snow, straight up the hillside,
    Took a ridge for a while, then we slowly went down
    To an overhang hid from the ridgeline.
    We bent o'er our handles and we bit in the ground -
    The dark and bloody ground.
    It was a bitch to break ground but the wine kept us goin'.
    The moonshine was flowin', keepin' us warm,
    'Cause you can't hold a girl with a fistful of shovel;
    Gotta find your fire in the comp'ny of corn.
    We dug for a while, then it all turned to ashes.
    Found a bunch of broke flint and a few bits of bone.
    Then I heard Jesse yell o'er the pile he was siftin' -
    Shook the hills like the angels were callin' us home:
    "Jesse, Zachary, come home!"
    It was banded as hell; it was fluted and Clovis;
    It was hot as the pistol I kept on my side...
    And I was fiendin' so fierce, I was broke-ass and busted -
    I pulled out my pistol and I took Jesse's life.
    A Clovis like that is a hard point to find -
    Makes pills swift to come by with a good chunk of change
    Left over for burn on whatever meanness,
    Whatever woman is comin' my way...
    Darlin', come my way!
    I sit in this cell for the banded Clovis
    I stole off of Nolan when I killed him that day.
    I reckon the chase of the pills and the powder,
    Corn liquor and women are the culprits to blame.
