"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help." I grew up next door to Pike County in Letcher County. We love our mountain people. Mr. Childers is the latest in a long line of great performers from that neck of the woods. Patty Loveless, Dwight Yoakam, Chris Stapleton, Loretta Lynn and many more.
I'm Hispanic and I want this kind of music introduced to our culture! Can't wait to show my family(: Thanks for the video OurVinyl!!! Also, thanks to Tyler for the song as well(;
im from appalachia and we are tired. i see it in my grandparents faces. im lucky my family escaped the poverty thanks to my father who works incredicbly hard.he pulls a salary that would even be good in california.. but before that we were all in poverty. my mom grew up living off pinto beans deer and raccoons. the difference between wv and the rest of the us its like going to a third world country. we need help.
@@65stang98 I agree 100%. They always want to send money to other countries when we have children starving here in America. I don’t live far from the blue ridge mountains and have family there. I’ve lost family members to drugs because there isn’t anything “better” to do and no work. Thank God some of them went down the mountain to better their lives. It’s really sad people who haven’t been there or don’t live there they have no idea.
appalachia is my home and i've been fortunate to grow up by no means well off but we got to take vacations and I never really had to worry. But I know my parents did.
I was coming to the comments to say exactly that! lol As a Ky girl, I love that she's loving one of our favorite sons; Tyler. His "Down Low" is a real tribute to Ky traditional music in a more modern sense, as well.
The deeper you get into rural southern dialects you go, the older the version of English, generally speaking. The simple past burnt is not common in the US. On RUclips, look up Tangier Island, arguably the oldest extant dialect of English in the world. Sorry, England.
Thank you, THANK YOU for getting to Tyler Childers.....he is a Kentucky boy. How about checking on Colter Wall, something from the Brewery Session...."Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" maybe. Thank you again.
heard someone say, Zach Bryan has the heart of country music in his voice and Tyler Childers has the mountain and I've never forgot that, so incredible
@@TRyanBenoitMusic He’s referring to the sound of Appalachia vs Texas red dirt for example. Zach Bryan is certainly one of a kind and doesn’t really have a particular style but they both reflect different sounds of the same genera…country americana
Love Tyler Childers. His song writing tells a story, which allows the listener to relate. He is wonderful live. I’m using his song Lady May for my wedding.
"Shake the Frost" is not a wedding song but that song you cry in your sleep when you lose that love of your life. Man I love this guy. "Lady May" is an awesome wedding song. Congrats.
@@ben9262 The whole country not just the South my dad ended up dying from Oxy and I live in Washington State. The doctors were handing them out like candy in the late nineties early 2000s.
She did devil wears a suit and tie 😂 it was hilarious pretty sure we seen a live orgasm 😂 she aint ready for sleeping on the black top or lady may from Childers
@jamie vopni I love Johnny Cash, but he never sounded like Colter Wall. Cash's voice was a plain voice, representing the working man, hard and deep and expressive but simple. Wall's voice is sepulcheral and haunting, unearthly. It's the voice of the ancients, and all the more shocking because he's only 24. Wall's voice is inhuman, Cash's voice was incredibly human. Both iconic and essential, but very different.
I’m a Kentucky boy too, and at first I thought she was going bash Tyler, but I was totally wrong!!!! Anymore there’s way too many people praising these auto tuned people. Mountain Folk sing from the heart, and it’s usually a story from their life
Yes he is a Kentucky boy! So am I. Another Ky boy you should check out is Sturgill Simpson. Sturgill produces Tyler and the 2 had a big world tour lined up this year until Covid. I had tickets...The Promise or Sarah would be good tunes to start with.
Lol yeah but more rural KY. Like I grew up most of my life in a Tennessee city. Now that I'm in BFE Tennessee it's like 100% a feeling you can feel it in the air.
Man I wanna like sturgill so bad but I just can't get into him and I liked Tyler's music way better before he got with him. Tyler's still amazing, you can't take away his vocals but I'd like to see him get away from sturgill.
@@KevinTkt14 Sturgil has imo the best country (classic,outlaw)voice of anyone in decades but I agree that I have a hard time getting into his music. "Long white line" and "the dead don't die" are absolutely great songs and there's 1 other I really like but the rest just seem to hippie/funk for me. People might like those other songs but it's not for me and I feel he could make some really great stuff. Childers has a great voice to and it's definitely a testament to the South. When someone from Appalachia hears a song like this we KNOW it's from one of us and it has a deeper meaning than when others around the world hear it. Similar to what another guy posted there's the south and then there is the rural south and then there's everyone else.
I am sure I am not the only one who requested this but I did from you on Twitter and I could not have been happier that you chose to give him a listen. I live in East Tennessee up in the hills and his voice and his stories speak to this region. There is more honest emotion in his lyrics than 98% of the rest of the artists out now. You feel his pain thru his voice. I keep finding more live versions of different songs of his that continue to impress. Thanks a million times over.
I’m from East Tennessee too and it hurts seeing these Kentucky boys make stuff like this😂 I think I’ll get through it though if they keep making music like that
East TN and Appalachia represent. It's good to hear voices from our general area coming up again and getting the attention they deserve, without getting dressed up with Nashville glitz. So good to hear soul again and not just five hundred songs about solo cups and trucks.
He makes us proud, if people realized where we come from there would be more appreciation for our music. It’s real music, full of Appalachian culture!!!
i come from like 100 or twangy-ish miles south.... ain't nobody gonna understand a few miles from down yonder, or ever been told 'boy i know your people you better akt rait' for i tell your daady n em....{most terrifying thing a kid can hear, am i right?} My North Ga mountain people, got nothin on the beauty of KU/WV landscape, but still know the tragic 'gittin on out asap' culture..... still will be seein all the LORD'S fam waaaay up in em hiiils, just as soon as he brangs us all on home right? -Jay from ATL
Oh Rebecca I’ve been watching your channel for YEARS and have been a fan of Tyler’s for YEARS...this is my dream come true. Two of my favorite people in one video! Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
If you like this song of his try House Fire, all yorin,feathered Indians,follow you to vergie and whitehouse road. He really is a great artist I hope you enjoy him 😊
High Lonesome at it's finest. This man gives me hope for a return to the music I grew up on. The music that Nashville has tried so hard to stifle over the past few years.
I have seen Tyler live a few times. I discovered him and Ron Pope at the same time and they both are brilliant writers, artists and vocalists. They carry the same torch as that genius bunch Todd Snider, Fred Eaglesmith, Townes Van Zandt, Hayes Carll and Ray Wily Hubbard along with so many other artists in what I think of as a roots/folk scene. Colter Wall is in that group. God, I could name so many others but at the very core of roots music is Woody Guthrie, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Steve Earle. You can't half ass it with great stage shows and autotune if you follow in the footsteps of those guys. Shout out to the women too, Lucinda Williams, Loretta Lynn, Alison Kraus, Emmy Lou Harris, Gillian Welch, The Civil Wars and so many others. In fact Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch's The Way It Will Be" in the diner is maybe the most perfect set of vocals I have heard. PS i forgot to mention the sheer genius of John Prine (Rest John) and Robert Earl Keen who can warm any heart no matter how cold. My spotify Sorta Folky playlist runs about 300 songs. So much great stuff.
Tyler Childers is so amazing to listen to. You feel the emotion and pain. Great video Rebecca. You should listen to Colter Wall, Kate McAnnon, live brewery sessions. Helluva murder ballad.
This song hits a particular place. My boyfriend's grandmother's name was May, and we heard this song for the first time the day after she died. It gave us chills and he broke down. Such a beautiful song.
yes ma'am KY boy indeed, lots of WV in there too though appalachias finest, what a breathe of fresh air because you dont hear THIS on the radio anymore
I might be Americasplaning this too much for anyone's wanting BUT Tyler is from Kentucky and this music is often thought of as Appellation Country, as be it for the mountain range, and what is a terrifying and outrageous true that is ravaging the rural white communities like the Kentucky Appellations towns is prescription opioids. These communities harbor hard working labor jobs and the treatment for hurt backs and intense pain from hard labor these days is scripts and surgery. When his dad tells him to keep his "nose out the pills" it is because he hurt his back working hard labor in the mines and knows the hell of addiction. This country music is the soul of revolution telling a story of personal anguish, hope, family, and of systemic problems that have gone ignored for too long. Tyler is American as it gets and I'm proud he is helping to carry this torch. That being said, if you want to go down a disgusting rabbit hole check out opioids in southern poor counties and in eastern major cities specifically in the poor regions and you will be angry for weeks.
Most of his slang and the way that he sings his words is how people from Eastern Kentucky talk. He is from my hometown in east Kentucky. The emotion is there because every boy from that area gets what he is saying drilled into them from a young age.
Warning: long comment...The original has almost 17 million views! This could be alot of guitarists listening over and over to learn how to play it but...something is going on here!! The lyrics remind me of "Simple Man" but it is "Daddy told me" instead of "Momma told me." This song has more gravitas which the patriarchal point of view reinforces. Musically, a classic minor blues, the a flat to e flat to f riff under the melody is haunting. I'm hearing that over an e flat to b flat to f minor chord sequence, so this adds some dissonance which further reinforces the lyric and the blues scale melody. And the production work is very high. You are not going to go in your garage and record a video like this. A small point---the guitar uses a capo on the third fret which produces a tighter sound and adds to the tension. Rebecca, you covered the vocal. Thanks as always. So considering these crazy times this song might be a good choice for a new national anthem here in the US and perhaps UK as well. We gotta keep it real!
I'm sitting in Kentucky trying to watch this reaction to Mr. Childers. My internet connection is fucked up like a soup sandwich so I'm getting it a little at a time. Thank you for checking this out. Colter Wall Is the next logical step.
Crazy how successful a dude who grew up 20 minutes from me has become. Jammed with him years and years ago. Being successful and from southeast KY is very unusual. Especially the Harlan area.
I live in the middle of a 30 mile radius in eastern Kentucky that has produced some of country and bluegrass musics best performers. Just to name a few from this area of Kentucky. Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley (RIP), Patty Loveless, Tyler Childers and Chris Stapleton just to name a few right off the top of my head. Tyler is such an outstanding musician telling the story of life in eastern Kentucky. He’s not singing BS he is singing the word of life in this area. Looking for an instant tear jerker by Tyler? His song “FOLLOW YOU TO VIRGIE” will bring the toughest man to tears. He has soooo many great songs and is unbelievable to see in person on stage. My recommendation for a true tale of rural Kentucky life would have to be “WHITE HOUSE ROAD”. Keep up the great work and I hope to see your reaction to the above songs. #PROUD KENTUCKIAN
Tyler Childress anything .. Kentucky boy, my favorite country talent in the game by far and has been for many years it’s been so long I can’t remember where I came across his music
I worked in the coal mines for the past 17 years and the meaning of the song mixed with the emotions is dead on. the vocals express how dramatic the work and the life you have to balance at home.
"God man" - one of the all time best and genuine reactions to raw talent I have seen EVER. Thank you for sharing - and yeah I don't blame you - pretty crazy good.
“Is he a Kentucky boy?”
Absolutely. We’re very proud of that boy. He’s eatin’ big time.
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help." I grew up next door to Pike County in Letcher County. We love our mountain people.

You were there. It's Tyler's video
Please put the entire recording session on vinyl!
@Wyatt Wilde They produced, recorded, and published this video
So yes
It is
Colter Wall- “Kate McKannon” brewery sessions. Just because it’s so unexpected when you first listen
Such a great song.
Agreed. Didn’t expect that at all. I am a fan now for sure
Heartbreaking. But voice is badass.
Yes, that's a great one.
Perfect recommendation.
Daddy, I've been tryin'
I just can't catch a break
Gets me every time.
You can feel the pain of Appalachia in his voice. He is amazing.

@@65stang98 my heart breaks for Appalachia. So much neglect from our own government while we send money overseas. A hard cycle to break indeed.
The "t" in "burnt" is there but deemphasized. You're discovering the southern american accent.
I was coming to the comments to say exactly that! lol As a Ky girl, I love that she's loving one of our favorite sons; Tyler. His "Down Low" is a real tribute to Ky traditional music in a more modern sense, as well.
Yeah, we tend to turn the Ts at the end of words into more of a sudden stop. So "burnt" becomes "burn" but with the n stopped abruptly.
The deeper you get into rural southern dialects you go, the older the version of English, generally speaking. The simple past burnt is not common in the US. On RUclips, look up Tangier Island, arguably the oldest extant dialect of English in the world. Sorry, England.
I caught myself saying ol instead of oil the other day
He did the thing people do in the middle of "uh-oh" or when British folk have a t in the middle of a word.
Thank you, THANK YOU for getting to Tyler Childers.....he is a Kentucky boy.
How about checking on Colter Wall, something from the Brewery Session...."Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" maybe.
Thank you again.
Colter wall will change your perspective on the level of natural talent in vocals.
My vote: "Original 16 Brewery Sessions - Colter Wall - Kate McCannon"
Yes yes yes Colter Wall Please!!!!!!!!!
Omg Yess!!
Sleeping on the blacktop
Tyler Childer - Hard times
It goes through the mind of someone that has almost nothing to lose truly a masterpiece in my mind.
Easily his best song in my opinion
Absolute masterpiece
Thats a cover, y'all

Tyler Childers - Whitehouse road
The FUCKING best!!!!!!
Hard times also
All his songs are good
My personal favorites are lady may and shake the frost. Really all his music is so good.
Follow you to Vergie would be more of a singing song for her to analyze....
heard someone say, Zach Bryan has the heart of country music in his voice and Tyler Childers has the mountain and I've never forgot that, so incredible
Valid ash
Tyler isn’t country music?! Jeeeezzz

Gotta checkout “Feathered Indian”. A great love song by him.
10 months late but when Tyler says thicket I realize that being a singer would be sick
Lady may was a better love song
More of a loving song. He's said himself it's a poetic way of talking about grinding on each other. Hence the buckle leaving impression on her thigh
Tyler is a Kentucky boy and we’re damn proud of him here in his hometown. I’ve known that feller since before he got that voice
Love Tyler Childers. His song writing tells a story, which allows the listener to relate. He is wonderful live. I’m using his song Lady May for my wedding.
Me and my wife used an acoustic version of All Your'n
"Shake the Frost" is not a wedding song but that song you cry in your sleep when you lose that love of your life. Man I love this guy. "Lady May" is an awesome wedding song. Congrats.
Apalachian song writing always does

It still is unfortunately.

He's talking about the destruction caused by pill addiction around here. Tough shit to see and deal with.
Hillbilly heroin. We're ate up with it in south Alabama, too.
My town is overran with pills and heroin. Keep strong.
Round here
Same thing here in WV brotha, it’s a shame. This state is beautiful but all people think about when the see WV is the drug addiction.
Bad in the extreme northeast too. Vermont NH, Massachusetts
You're legit lady. Artists like him speak to a lot to us in America, love that you seem to feel the emotion that we feel. Cool reaction
Especially with long violent history. The man’s a true American.

Wall's voice is sepulcheral and haunting, unearthly. It's the voice of the ancients, and all the more shocking because he's only 24.
Wall's voice is inhuman, Cash's voice was incredibly human. Both iconic and essential, but very different.
Kevin Mayfield agreed. If we’re talking singing talent in general Colter is waaaaay better. Johnny cash’s voice is just iconic and unique.
He's not a pimple on Johnny Cash's ass

My favorite singer of all time hands down!
Shakey Graves - Roll The Bones (Audiotree Session). You HAVE to experience it.
It is a must!
Also dearly departed although she doesn’t do duets often
My favorite by shakey is late july
Audiotree session is the best I've seen of Shakey Graves. Nothing else I've seen/heard of him sounds quite as good.
YES.
Billy Strings "Dust in a Baggie" live at the Opry.
Ryan Badgley the bedroom version is better I think
@@460FordBronco79 That song just seems wrong without "green shirt guy" in the background.
Live on his couch is his best version imo
I don’t know if she’s ready for Billy Strings.
I’ve listened to this song over 100 times and every time it gives me chills
Tyler Childers is homegrown, he is amazing. Should have seen his concerts at the end of 2019, did 3 nights here in Eastern Kentucky, sold out all 3.
He sells out everywhere regionally from what I've heard
Im from his home town Lawrence County Ky his songs are about the struggle of a Hillbilly. Keep on preachin Tyler we are proud brother!
You need The White Buffalo At: Guitar Center "The Whistler"...
Yes, and Last Call to Heaven acoustic.
Oh Rebecca I’ve been watching your channel for YEARS and have been a fan of Tyler’s for YEARS...this is my dream come true. Two of my favorite people in one video! Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
“Is he a Kentucky boy? Maybe idk” why yes ma’am he is from Kentucky
Watching your eyes get wide and the way your mouth warped with empathy really touched me. Thank you!
I don't often fall in love with songs the first time I hear them but this song was one that I did! Love seeing your reactions to it!

Damn "is he a Kentucky boy" so freaken spot on 👌🏽
If i could wake up to her talking music and singing i would be a blessed man❤
Love Tyler Childers - House Fire and White House Road are my favorites
Can relate to this song so much, as a good ole country boy from Tennessee.
Tyler Childers is so amazing to listen to. You feel the emotion and pain. Great video Rebecca. You should listen to Colter Wall, Kate McAnnon, live brewery sessions. Helluva murder ballad.
His was the best concert I’ve been to. I love his voice.
Yes ma’am he’s a Kentucky boy I live about 15 minutes away from where he grew up. His song Whitehouse Road is where I grew up. He’d like you.
Tyler Childress is the best... his grit and soul is un matched
“Devil Wears A Suit And Tie” COLTER WALL it will blow your vocal mind
Colter Wall- Devil wears a suit and tie. You won't regret it, the voice on this guy.
Tyler Childers- Hard Times vinyl sessions
If you liked this, I would recommend Lady May by Tyler Childers.

Ooo. Do Sturgill Simpson next.
This guy is from Kentucky. About 2 hour drive from where I live. Seen him at Headliners live. quite the performance. Great Music.
Gotta do Jason Isbell "cover me up" on Austin city limits
Songs she sang in the shower and Yvette are my favorites but cover me up is what started it all for me with Jason. Awesome song writer
Vampires is another excellent choice. Jason Isbell is one of the very best songwriters of this generation

When his dad tells him to keep his "nose out the pills" it is because he hurt his back working hard labor in the mines and knows the hell of addiction. This country music is the soul of revolution telling a story of personal anguish, hope, family, and of systemic problems that have gone ignored for too long. Tyler is American as it gets and I'm proud he is helping to carry this torch.
That being said, if you want to go down a disgusting rabbit hole check out opioids in southern poor counties and in eastern major cities specifically in the poor regions and you will be angry for weeks.
Appalachian....please thanks
I never thought I would see a vocal coach reacting to my FAVORITE VOCAL ARTIST of all time the great Tyler Childers.👏👏👏
Don’t break my heart it’s me first
:)))))))
Most of his slang and the way that he sings his words is how people from Eastern Kentucky talk. He is from my hometown in east Kentucky. The emotion is there because every boy from that area gets what he is saying drilled into them from a young age.
“Is he a ky boy? Idk” good guess.
Repping home to the fullest!!! People need to see paintsville Kentucky to see where that soul comes from!
Warning: long comment...The original has almost 17 million views! This could be alot of guitarists listening over and over to learn how to play it but...something is going on here!! The lyrics remind me of "Simple Man" but it is "Daddy told me" instead of "Momma told me." This song has more gravitas which the patriarchal point of view reinforces. Musically, a classic minor blues, the a flat to e flat to f riff under the melody is haunting. I'm hearing that over an e flat to b flat to f minor chord sequence, so this adds some dissonance which further reinforces the lyric and the blues scale melody. And the production work is very high. You are not going to go in your garage and record a video like this. A small point---the guitar uses a capo on the third fret which produces a tighter sound and adds to the tension. Rebecca, you covered the vocal. Thanks as always. So considering these crazy times this song might be a good choice for a new national anthem here in the US and perhaps UK as well. We gotta keep it real!
I'm sitting in Kentucky trying to watch this reaction to Mr. Childers. My internet connection is fucked up like a soup sandwich so I'm getting it a little at a time. Thank you for checking this out. Colter Wall Is the next logical step.
…It takes twice as long to build bridges you burnt…
Love that line.
reaction or not you should listen to more of him. he is such an amazin person when you meet him to just so down to earth .
Yes! So glad you did this video. I like to thing it was my suggestion that brought you to look him up 😉
Crazy how successful a dude who grew up 20 minutes from me has become. Jammed with him years and years ago. Being successful and from southeast KY is very unusual. Especially the Harlan area.
I live in the middle of a 30 mile radius in eastern Kentucky that has produced some of country and bluegrass musics best performers. Just to name a few from this area of Kentucky.
Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley (RIP), Patty Loveless, Tyler Childers and Chris Stapleton just to name a few right off the top of my head.
Tyler is such an outstanding musician telling the story of life in eastern Kentucky. He’s not singing BS he is singing the word of life in this area.
Looking for an instant tear jerker by Tyler?
His song “FOLLOW YOU TO VIRGIE” will bring the toughest man to tears.
He has soooo many great songs and is unbelievable to see in person on stage.
My recommendation for a true tale of rural Kentucky life would have to be “WHITE HOUSE ROAD”.
Keep up the great work and I hope to see your reaction to the above songs.

Your humming at the end with the song gave me chills
Tyler Childress anything .. Kentucky boy, my favorite country talent in the game by far and has been for many years it’s been so long I can’t remember where I came across his music
This area is where I came of age. The sincerity is profound. That's all...
I worked in the coal mines for the past 17 years and the meaning of the song mixed with the emotions is dead on. the vocals express how dramatic the work and the life you have to balance at home.
There's too much in this world I can't seem to shake...chills..
Wow. Just Wow. He has the voice of American music. Thank you very much for this reaction Rebecca. Simply wonderful.
I didn't need to look into the lyrics There tattooed on my heart and they're written in my book of life
I watched that first reaction to TC and as a fellow KY boy I instantly new....."so you're saying there's a chance"!
Good ole country boy from Kentucky. He's a treasure.
Love Tyler wasn't expecting her to this video was fun to watch
Saw him live in Philadelphia.. best show I’ve been to.
The beauty of Tyler Childers is in the simplicity of his playing and singing and yet his "style" is his own,
That little hum you added at the end was a very nice touch.
Billy Strings - dust in a baggy
Sierra Ferrell- gladden house special 2019 (all three songs). She's absolutely phenomenal
"God man" - one of the all time best and genuine reactions to raw talent I have seen EVER. Thank you for sharing - and yeah I don't blame you - pretty crazy good.
