That line and keep your nose.............and out of the pills.. is enough to put the effort into owning this song, while paying tribute to Childers. Gotta go now and see if he wrote this song. Well done Coach 👍
Saw that you loved Devil Wears A Suit And Tie, this Dust In A Baggie got me feeling some kinda way though! ruclips.net/video/euy4A5niG8Q/видео.html Also this guy is INSANE; ruclips.net/video/ZUxFFH3Aekg/видео.html
Most all his songs are true stories one about meet his wife, follow me to Virgie, basically first girl worth suffering withdrawal for......happy sound though he f'ing brilliant. Ones about snowstorm at in-laws lol . High lonesome sound. Feathered indians incredible roo. Called them pillbillies. Lost a lot of friends, at least how I like to remember them, to opiates. 🙏 Great video
Saw him for the first time opening for Margo Price at the Ryman. Couldn’t really comprehend how good he was. I kept asking myself, “Is this guy the best country songwriter I’ve ever heard?”
Dude, same. These react channels have introduced me to this whole new bluesy, folksy outlaw country stuff. It started with Stapleton but I've just been running through them now. Sturgill, Colter, Childers, White Buffalo, Cody Jinks. Fuck man. I don't know what it is but there are so many comments like yours and mine, it's just raw and real shit with some heavy lyrics. I can't fucking stop.
I love country, I hate FGL and bands like them. Wheeler Walker Jr. Explains it best. They all try to be like the next Garth Brooks. These guys are the real thing. Wheeler is a parody, if not Anti-country. I wouldn't recommend wheeler for people who dont have a dark sense of humor, like I do lmao.
Anyone from Appalachia knows exactly the stories Tyler is telling. These hollers always have stories to tell. And God gifted people like Tyler to tell them for us.
My mom is from Poor Valley Mendota, VA Bristol area, her dad played banjo and harmonica, I didn't appriciate it until I had lived life, it is true American music, I have heard many stories, it's something I hope is never lost. These folks sing from the heart and you can't get any closer to God and humanity when you listen.
that little part where Michael utters "holy shit" under his breath is literally every person the first time they hear this song. One of my favorite songs ever.
Tyler Childers is literally the Mark Twain of Appalachian music. His wail is like no other. Loved the Sturgill comment, they've been working together for long while. ❤ Listen to Shake the Frost if you haven't. You can almost see him painting the song in you head.
I remember hearing this song for the first time. I just sat in tears. "Daddy I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break, There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake". That line hit hard.
It was my son's death. Just haven't been able to move past it, kids shouldn't die especially after a few hours of living. "God" he's got some splainin to do when i get there, I'm going to hell but before that he and I are gonna have a little face to face.
I know it’s about his friend’s grandmother but when I heard it, it brought a tear to my because it reminded me of my grandfather who passed a few years ago.
Shake the Frost, A Song While You're Away, 22nd Winter, Banded Clovis, Harlan Road, Oneida. TC is the man... One of the best songwriters of all time. I've listened to him every day for a year now. There's too many songs to list.
Well Tyler has taken a lot of the ol timers sayings and put them in his songs and they hit the spot. I’m pretty close to Tyler’s family and his dad is a good dude
@@Guitargate I need to make a reaction video to your reaction video. I love how you picked up on the pain in his voice, so much so that you were noticeably being moved emotionally. I was born and raised by a coal miner in the Appalachian Mountains and currently live in the same stompin' grounds as Tyler. I can tell you that pain in his voice is a real thing and hard earned. Great video keep it up!!
Michael Palmisano He is more hit than miss. His work is truly...I mean, it’s Dylan/Young/Nelson/Cash level. It’s almost unbelievable. I was so glad to have found his music. And I’m not really a country guy.
Yes!!! The 1st song of his I heard was Feathered Indians. I was hooked and listened to the rest of the album and it was like I had heard him before, like something familiar long ago. That's why I love his music so much cuz I feel like I've been listening to him my whole life, even though it's only been a couple years
Zach Bryan "Heading South" or "Condemned" are both wonderful tunes that I found after finding Childers. These songs are some of my favorite next to Childers.
When a song is so good that the chords don't matter, and Michael can't find the words to speak about it ... you've damn sure accomplished something great.
I wish I could just bust solos out like that but I don’t understand the fret board up that high. I can finger pick colter tunes all day long and play and hold my own but I can’t solo for shit beside I know like one scale.
That solo at 10:00 straight up slapped and went perfect with this song! Like for real, that should just be part of it. Also, this song makes me cry everytime. Hits too close.
I actually live in Pike county Kentucky where Tyler’s dad mined coal man this song describes this area to a T i have so many family members that have mined coal and my grandfather broke his back in the mines and he hasn’t been able to work since and the drug problems here are terrible
Live in pike county, Tyler played new years 2020 and literally blew the roof off the entire county, the arena, and all of Appalachia that night! Best concert ever.
By far my favorite reaction of this song, you had every intent to teach this song but after hearing his voice and the conviction in what he was saying, you immediately switched to full respect and just drowned in the song. I loved it because it showed genuine Love for music. ❤️🤘
For real it sounded good. Wish I could get that good at guitar. Just solo on the fly like that. I can play nose on the grindstone but I can't lead for shit 😂😂
Your reaction to his voice and this song is exactly how it was for me. Tyler Childers is the real deal. I absolutely love this song. So good and what a voice!
Listening to Childers on repeat right now and even though this song is one of his best, it’s “shake the frost” for me. What a great songwriter and what a voice…loved your reaction!! So much fun watching your face light up the second he started to sing…
Just popped up on my feed again- and I have to thank you for introducing me to one of my favorites of the past 2 years. Tyler has already sold out his Red Rocks shows for 2023! I love his voice SO MUCH. Thanks again, that is why I keep watching... and I definitely listen to music in a whole new way since viewing your channel.
First time watching. Tyler couldn’t be more genuine if the good Lord placed him directly on stage with his bare hands in front of your very own eyes. Truly a gifted, authentic soul. Check out the Universal Sound and the story he tells there.
It's awesome to see someone having the exact same reaction to this song that I had the first time I heard it. Love the passion you have for music, I know I'm not alone. I would recommend either "Shake the Frost" or "Hard Times" for your next Childers video. Again, thank you for doing what you do!
Here are a few ideas: "Cover Me Up" - Jason Isbell (the Austin City Limits version is great) "Don't Think Twice" - Billy Strings (Dylan Cover) "White Freightliner Blues" - Molly Tuttle (Townes Van Zandt Cover) "Beautiful Stranger" - Marcus King Band
@@nosbigibby I think Jason is a great choice because his song lyrics are so incredible and on top of that he's a real guitar slinger. Not a singer-songwriter type.
Tyler is fire, man! I've been blessed with the luxury of watching him grow as a good human & an outstanding artist...from his first open mic night at The V Club in Huntington, WV to the red carpet at The Grammys. He's a true troubadour. And God bless ya for 'getting it'! Getting what Tyler is trying to convey there...the message. Lonesome...haunting...desperation! Appalachian Blues at it's finest and most raw. God Bless Tyler Childers!! Appalachia LOVES you SO MUCH!!
This is hands down my favorite Tyler song. I love all his music but this song describes my childhood and teenage years perfectly. I grew up in the coalfields of Southwest Virginia across the state line from Pike County. Coal is king in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, Southwest Virginia and West Virginia, and with the current state of coal, the hard working men and woman have had to go to the extremes to make money. Some legal, some not. This song reminds me of the daily conversations between my dad and myself growing up. It will be 3 years in June since he left this ol’ world and he pushed me daily to get my education, become a good man, stay away from the growing amount of pills and drugs, and to get out of the hills. He wanted me to have a better life than him and he knew it wasn’t in the mountains where the only livelihood is dying. I feel like maybe you are focusing on the pills a little too much in the song, however. To me, it’s about a father’s constant reminder to his young son about the life lessons of being a good man, working hard, and to not venture down the wrong path in an area where it’s so easy to do. Then it fast forwards to where the son has reached the crossroads of staying straight or taking drugs and he’s struggling. So he thinks back to his childhood and his father’s advice. He gets the chills because he realizes every word his father said was true.
Shake the Frost. That line “they raised the price of dreams so high I couldn’t pay”. Holy fuck wow. How true is that. He’s masterful in his songwriting. Truly special
@@drsimmons74 that line hit me in the chest like a train when I first listened to that song, I'm from a small town of 2,000 people and not shit for 30 miles either direction, nowhere to work besides one gas station and a diner. after I graduated highschool I had no idea how to get out of there but I worked my ass off that summer roofing houses, saved every penny then hugged my family goodbye then took off into the unknown with a full tank of freedom and no end destination, ended up across the country where I now live with a beautiful girlfriend, fulfilling career and a comfortable life but I'll never forget those times thinking of how badly I wanted to leave but couldn't because at the time gas was almost $5 a gallon and I couldn't get anywhere worth going to.
Bro I come across your page by accident and all I can say is I've been going thru your stuff and can't get enough. Thanks for doing these because it's amazing. Keep it up, man.
Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson. They all have real genuine voices that make them my favorite artists. I also love Eric Church, he’s not an amazing singer but a performer.
You understand it. His guitar licks are beautiful, but that’s only one part of a beautiful piece of art. Thank you so much for focusing on the song as a whole. This song gives me chills too.
I hope you've become the Childers fan that I have these past years. I was late to the party but there are very few songs this man does that wont stir your emotions. Even when he does a cover, he puts that raspy yodel into it at the top of his dang lungs and it just is amazing! Mega talent!
I don't usually enjoy enjoy reaction videos but your sincere eractions and love for the arts makes this format work so well. I really love hearing your little remarks and analysis is so much fun. Seeing you goof off and play along and the pure emotion in your reaction on Tyler's very first syllable and the so sincere smile growing on your face is good fun to watch and share. I think I consider this a perfect song! It really gives you an idea about Tyler's artistry when the guitar teacher says "Who cares about the chords!?" It's even more impressive having seen some of your other videos, which has just as much sincere emotion on your part but where you actually bother explaining the chords. You're so right in that it's the emotion and delivery that's on display here, the lyrics and the story, and the instrument is really just a vessel for delivery, rightfully taking a back seat! Thank you for your thoughts!
Thank you for making this reaction video. Or else I'd might never heard about Mr Childers. And wow...that's pain turned into music if ever I heard it. Colter Wall and now Tyler Childers...this year is musically blessed...if not healthwise. Hope you all stay save, and keep distant :)
This is my 3rd or 4th time watching this video. I get so much satisfaction watching you see and hear tyler for the first time. Its genuine and i like that. You and RVA are my favorite react channels.
I've never seen someone with such great interval and theory training that still gets that much out of a straight forward 4 chord song. Loved the video keep it up. Love the silver sky as well.
It is so rare for me to see someone who loves immersing themselves in music, not just the theory, but the artistry of it as well, as much as I do. I've watched two of your videos and seeing your reactions to songs I love have already brought me to tears. Please keep it up! Also if you're looking for more great tunes like this I suggest you check out "Hymn #101" by Joe Pug, "75 and Sunny" by Ryan Montbleau, "Blondie and Dagwood" by Adam Carroll, and definitely "Rather Low" by Nick Shoulders. Oh and Colter Wall has a video where he sings a song called "Cowpoke" that brings me to tears every time I listen to it.
It's hard to imagine the absolute hopelessness experienced by the people living in these areas unless you have been to some of them. Entire towns built on the back of a dying industry, you couldn't write a sadder story. You should check out his song "Hard Times", this song speaks directly to the cyclical nature of life in coal country and how inescapable it can feel. Also - I've just found your channel today. I am really really enjoy your content. Keep it up.
*We're currently experiencing it in my town. Oil, coal, and railroad have dried up. Covid hit and made it twice as bad. Intense unemployment and drug problems abound. Sad to see the change the past five years.*
Russell county va about an our from pike county where tylers from and his songs are so critical of the area and rightfully so. We are drowning and theres no life rafts
@@propstick Has nothing to do with government, but the market demands. Even with Trump pro-coal policies, most energy providers prefered natural gases and renewable energy. They are more effective per cost than coals.
I have watched so many reactions to this video and yours is damn good man, the way you are playing with him at 10:08 you definitely feel the emotion in the song. I moved to a county near where he is from recently and pills are a huge epidemic there, this song means so much to me and my family, it speaks volumes to the struggle in the Appalachians.
I've seen this video and I've watched the Tyler Childers video probably hundreds of times, I watched it again today... cried. and I needed it. cheers dudes.
Childers is an amazing artist and humble person. He is fairly local to me, i've watched him for years on open mic nights as he grew into what he is today. Real and raw.
Jason Isbell is fantastic (as a lyricist and a guitarist), literally anything would make for a good reaction video. If you want acoustic, pick "Cover Me Up" or "If We Were Vampires" if you want electric, go with "Never Gonna Change" or "Decoration Day"
I felt your passion and pain on hearing this song.. I would never have heard most of who you react to being from the UK, Some great singers .. and great reactions . The little riff you slipped in was awesome too
Absolutely. Ben Todd is sick talented. Absolutely ridiculous how good his songs are. His playing is phenomenal. I can’t say enough. His solo stuff like “Using Again” and Lost Dog’s “One Shot To Wake” are absolute gems. His performance of “The Mountain” is so good. I like it better than the original and the original is by Steve Earle. I mean the guy actually plays a Steve Earle song better than Steve Earle. Not many people can do that. Sorry man. I’ll shut up now
He is responsible for the best version of "The Mountain" that I've heard yet. I love Steve Earle and Levon Helm but Benjamin Todd's banjo version won me over.
The first line literally went right through me, instantly brought me to tears. Everytime I hear great music I laugh, and I immediately laughed and teared up lol His voice is so powerful.
This is the exact video that made Tyler my favorite artist and watching your reaction to hearing his voice the first time was the exact reaction I had.
Colter Wall’s song “Cowpoke” has a completely different song, and on the “Western AF” channel you can hear him talking about it a bit beforehand (Here’s a link: ruclips.net/video/MmxKsK90L14/видео.html )
I like you actually listen to music and recognize the feelings in all songs. Due to that, I would love to see how you react to Cody Johnson's cover of Shameless. I love this cover because you can see how much he enjoys playing and he just has so much fun.
The first time I heard this song It stopped me in my tracks, and I couldn't hold back the tears that followed... cause I fling lived it, and I survived to text here about it... many didn't... buried several of my kin in Kentucky who weren't so lucky... you can hear the pain in Eastern Kentucky in his voice... Love ya, Tyler.
Love love love love love. Tylers music came into my life probably 2 years ago and I have to rank him at the very top. Tears literally fall sometimes listening to some of his songs. That being said, I'm new to the channel and totally digging your reaction videos. I have learned many of Tyler's songs. Many are simple.. i love how you call the pull offs and details "whatever" because i totally agree. Its pretty dressing but the songs are about his lyrics and emotion that pours out of his voice.
"There's hurt you can cause that time alone cannot heal." I MEAN COME ON!!!! IF THAT AIN'T A LINE THERE ISN'T ONE!!!!
Michael Palmisano takes longer to build bridges you’ve burned!
My dude, check out Justin Johnson, he is amazing at what he does. Of you haven't already seen him, do your soul a solid.
That line and keep your nose.............and out of the pills.. is enough to put the effort into owning this song, while paying tribute to Childers. Gotta go now and see if he wrote this song. Well done Coach 👍
Saw that you loved Devil Wears A Suit And Tie, this Dust In A Baggie got me feeling some kinda way though!
ruclips.net/video/euy4A5niG8Q/видео.html
Also this guy is INSANE;
ruclips.net/video/ZUxFFH3Aekg/видео.html
Most all his songs are true stories one about meet his wife, follow me to Virgie, basically first girl worth suffering withdrawal for......happy sound though he f'ing brilliant. Ones about snowstorm at in-laws lol . High lonesome sound. Feathered indians incredible roo. Called them pillbillies. Lost a lot of friends, at least how I like to remember them, to opiates. 🙏 Great video
I wish I could hear Tyler Childers for the first time again.
Jordan Powell that’s me right now, and I’m embarrassed. Been listening to Colter and others but somehow missed Childers.
This feeling right here.
Saw him for the first time opening for Margo Price at the Ryman. Couldn’t really comprehend how good he was. I kept asking myself, “Is this guy the best country songwriter I’ve ever heard?”
me freaking too. i also wish i could hear colter for the first time again. the pure joy and chills i got the first time i listened to the both of them
i remember where i was and i found tyler and colter on the same day
I read a comment somewhere that "Tyler Childers is GOD's way of apologizing for "new country" music.
Greg Crook truer words have never been spoken
tyler Childers, colter wall, kelvin damrell...some serious young talent coming up
Amen
@@tradrodsandcustoms and sturgill
Don’t forget Cody Jinks
I'm a metal guy. But colter wall, sturgill, Chris Stapleton, childers, still woods has sparked a flame.
Dude, same. These react channels have introduced me to this whole new bluesy, folksy outlaw country stuff. It started with Stapleton but I've just been running through them now. Sturgill, Colter, Childers, White Buffalo, Cody Jinks. Fuck man. I don't know what it is but there are so many comments like yours and mine, it's just raw and real shit with some heavy lyrics. I can't fucking stop.
all of those guys, I'm a die hard Van Halen fan but damn bluegrass always brings me that warm feeling that I know runs in my blood, I love them!
Same dude, I listen to a lot of dgd but this is the only country or Americana I’ll listen to
Cody Jinks needs to be on that list
I love country, I hate FGL and bands like them. Wheeler Walker Jr. Explains it best. They all try to be like the next Garth Brooks. These guys are the real thing. Wheeler is a parody, if not Anti-country. I wouldn't recommend wheeler for people who dont have a dark sense of humor, like I do lmao.
Anyone from Appalachia knows exactly the stories Tyler is telling. These hollers always have stories to tell. And God gifted people like Tyler to tell them for us.
You dam right !
Amen, but it isn't just Appalachia. This shit is tearing apart rural areas all around MOKA-T.
I'm a ky boy born and raised and you damn right about the hollers in eastern
I thank the hollers for the pain and the lessons they’re telling that so many hear but few listen too this song really changed me
My mom is from Poor Valley Mendota, VA Bristol area, her dad played banjo and harmonica, I didn't appriciate it until I had lived life, it is true American music, I have heard many stories, it's something I hope is never lost. These folks sing from the heart and you can't get any closer to God and humanity when you listen.
that little part where Michael utters "holy shit" under his breath is literally every person the first time they hear this song. One of my favorite songs ever.
Daniel Veros 4:00
I guess everyone but me. I just wasn't feeling it at all.
First time hearing Tyler! An wow goosebumps where in the world have I been?
Jibbles it’s just you
U got some jibbles on your chin.
Tyler Childers is literally the Mark Twain of Appalachian music. His wail is like no other. Loved the Sturgill comment, they've been working together for long while. ❤ Listen to Shake the Frost if you haven't. You can almost see him painting the song in you head.
Jessica Day I was gonna suggest this one & Lady May.
But for guitar work I'd say to check out purgatory
He reminds me a lot of Bob Dylan.
If you ever wanted to see a man successfully hold back tears, this video is for you
I remember hearing this song for the first time. I just sat in tears.
"Daddy I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break, There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake". That line hit hard.
Same here.
The whole song is lyrically brilliant
hits anybody with feelings right in the gut
It was my son's death. Just haven't been able to move past it, kids shouldn't die especially after a few hours of living. "God" he's got some splainin to do when i get there, I'm going to hell but before that he and I are gonna have a little face to face.
This just happend for me tonight
His songs “Hard Time” and “Follow You To Virgie” are heartbreakers too.
Oh god follow you to virgie was the first thing to make me cry in like six months
I know it’s about his friend’s grandmother but when I heard it, it brought a tear to my because it reminded me of my grandfather who passed a few years ago.
I first heard Follow You to Virgie the day my grandmother died. I'm from the same area as Tyler. I lost my shit
Bottles n Bibles, Banded Clovis, Charleston Girl...So many good ones!
Shake the Frost, A Song While You're Away, 22nd Winter, Banded Clovis, Harlan Road, Oneida. TC is the man... One of the best songwriters of all time. I've listened to him every day for a year now. There's too many songs to list.
If you like Colter and Tyler, give a listen to their duet of Fraulein.
ruclips.net/video/utbxHliZqmg/видео.html
JR wojo i was gonna say the same thing. That song is amazing
Yes for sure. It’s one of my favorites
There is no number that exists that equates with the times I've said yes to that comment.
Great song, didn’t realize it was a cover until I got digging into it a bit.
"It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burned"
One of my favorite verses of any song I've listened to
100% agree
Well Tyler has taken a lot of the ol timers sayings and put them in his songs and they hit the spot. I’m pretty close to Tyler’s family and his dad is a good dude
@@toddnewsome5011That’s awesome, man
I love watching musicians and vocalist just geek out over this guy. He’s got something about him that’s just magnetic
"Guitar teacher reacts to Tyler Childers" - Step one: drop your pick and talk about the lyrics. #Respect
If anybody asks you who Tyler is just tell him what happens when you hear his music.
Thanks :). It's real stuff
@@Guitargate I need to make a reaction video to your reaction video. I love how you picked up on the pain in his voice, so much so that you were noticeably being moved emotionally. I was born and raised by a coal miner in the Appalachian Mountains and currently live in the same stompin' grounds as Tyler. I can tell you that pain in his voice is a real thing and hard earned. Great video keep it up!!
@@Guitargate please react to feathered indians. Once again lyrics are INSANE of you pay attention to the details
Damn he just busted that solo out of nowhere. It was perfectly in rythm and tune. A true guitar master.
Improv isnt all that difficult, but yea it was quite spicy.
@@brianthomas7417 but tasteful improv is
Tyler lived it for real. He's now a sober and happy individual. So glad I have his music to power my days...
It is one of the best songs to come along in a long time. And Tyler churns em out like he’s lived 4 lifetimes. It’s truly incredible.
It's unbelievable. I honestly didn't expect to find a new country artist like this again. Give me hope!
Michael Palmisano He is more hit than miss. His work is truly...I mean, it’s Dylan/Young/Nelson/Cash level. It’s almost unbelievable. I was so glad to have found his music. And I’m not really a country guy.
@@Guitargate Next do his song "Banded Clovis," it's similar themed but more fast-tempo
Yes!!! The 1st song of his I heard was Feathered Indians. I was hooked and listened to the rest of the album and it was like I had heard him before, like something familiar long ago. That's why I love his music so much cuz I feel like I've been listening to him my whole life, even though it's only been a couple years
His cover of Pink Floyd's Time! Who sings Pink Floyd like that??
Zach Bryan "Heading South" or "Condemned" are both wonderful tunes that I found after finding Childers. These songs are some of my favorite next to Childers.
I actually found Zach Bryan on Grady Smiths channel then that lead to me to Tyler Childers.
@@jhershy3787 Ooh! That's awesome. I love his interview with Zach. Really good. I bed youd like Benjamin Tod if you haven't already found him.
Shivers Down Spines is my favorite. But I like all of his songs.
Joshua Knight this. He NEEDS to react to Zach Bryan.
Gods speed is super good too
Can I just say how badass it was when you started improvising over his insutrumental. Awesome stuff.
was phenomenal
When a song is so good that the chords don't matter, and Michael can't find the words to speak about it ... you've damn sure accomplished something great.
Truth!!
Are we not going to acknowledge the little solo he just busted out of nowhere?!??
Thankyou dude
Shit was 🔥 too
FOR real, that got me so hyped. Thats what an accomplished guitar player can do on a whim. I can only hope to one day reach that level.
I wish I could just bust solos out like that but I don’t understand the fret board up that high. I can finger pick colter tunes all day long and play and hold my own but I can’t solo for shit beside I know like one scale.
yeah, that was really good
4:01 “holy shit”😂😂 I think that’s everyone’s reaction when they hear Childers for the first time
A army buddy of mine from Georgia hooked me on Tyler. I’m grateful for that. Thanks, Ethan, wherever you are. 🤙🏼
The first time I heard this song I cried. I still do. THIS MAN IS AN ABSOLUTE GIFT TO MUSIC.
“I’m getting chills already...”
Yeah, Tyler will do that to ya..
You're the best, man! I wish everyone was this passionate about music
Asher Holmes it’s so nice to watch someone love it as much as you do.
Thanks guys :)
I agree! I love when I see people who get as excited by music as I do!
That would be a very boring world, if everyone was passionate about the same thing.
Yep ur sick, welcome to the club!
That solo at 10:00 straight up slapped and went perfect with this song! Like for real, that should just be part of it.
Also, this song makes me cry everytime. Hits too close.
This is the Tyler Childers reaction that I didn't know that I needed. Excellent reaction!
Seeing the emotion on someone's face when they hear this song for the first time is incredible. This song will live forever.
I actually live in Pike county Kentucky where Tyler’s dad mined coal man this song describes this area to a T i have so many family members that have mined coal and my grandfather broke his back in the mines and he hasn’t been able to work since and the drug problems here are terrible
My father is from pike county. Slab fell on my granddad while mining so he couldn't work anymore. Song cuts deep.
My Grandpa is From Pike County
Live in pike county, Tyler played new years 2020 and literally blew the roof off the entire county, the arena, and all of Appalachia that night! Best concert ever.
Im in letcher co.and yes its exactly how it is!
My mother was a Bevins from Pike County, John's Creek.
Tyler Childers is keeping old country music alive! And colter wall brings Johnny cash back to life. I think county music has a bright future
By far my favorite reaction of this song, you had every intent to teach this song but after hearing his voice and the conviction in what he was saying, you immediately switched to full respect and just drowned in the song. I loved it because it showed genuine Love for music. ❤️🤘
That’s it my friend. Thank you
Of course, I'm a Metalhead but when you hear the spirit of the backbone of America, you don't look away. 🇺🇲

That song never fails to leave me a bit broken. Just devastating songwriting.
10:08 haven’t seen anyone talking about your beautiful addition to the song. Man you are good lol
For real it sounded good. Wish I could get that good at guitar. Just solo on the fly like that. I can play nose on the grindstone but I can't lead for shit 😂😂
Joshua Ridge keep at it my friend...it will happen!!!
The pain in his voice......that is what makes the song good..conviction....you nailed what it is about....moved me the first time I heard it
Tyler is raw soul, your reaction is too, Well done for being authentic.
Yes! Yes! Tyler Childers!!! Saw him and Sturgill live in February!
Canceled... :/
I hate that. They put on a great show!
They do put on an amazing show! Love em both!
How was it?!?! I've seen Tyler but not Sturgill. Was supposed to see em both Ma6 5th, but of course it's been postponed cuz damn COVID.
Same!
Next do Uncle Lucius’ “Keep the Wolves Away”
Cason Andrews yes!!!!!
yes!!!!

God yes
Your reaction to his voice and this song is exactly how it was for me. Tyler Childers is the real deal. I absolutely love this song. So good and what a voice!
Listening to Childers on repeat right now and even though this song is one of his best, it’s “shake the frost” for me. What a great songwriter and what a voice…loved your reaction!! So much fun watching your face light up the second he started to sing…
Chris knight - Down the River. Or William. In same vein
This is one of my all-time favorites. Gives me chills every time.
Great suggestion!!!
William. Please
Any Chris Knight song. There is no bad one.
Talk about a song that tells a story, down the river is one of the best
Watching you not even touch your guitar and just taking Tyler Childers in says it all. Hard to find something so raw and powerful
Just popped up on my feed again- and I have to thank you for introducing me to one of my favorites of the past 2 years. Tyler has already sold out his Red Rocks shows for 2023! I love his voice SO MUCH. Thanks again, that is why I keep watching... and I definitely listen to music in a whole new way since viewing your channel.
First time watching. Tyler couldn’t be more genuine if the good Lord placed him directly on stage with his bare hands in front of your very own eyes. Truly a gifted, authentic soul. Check out the Universal Sound and the story he tells there.
It's awesome to see someone having the exact same reaction to this song that I had the first time I heard it. Love the passion you have for music, I know I'm not alone. I would recommend either "Shake the Frost" or "Hard Times" for your next Childers video. Again, thank you for doing what you do!
Love it. Thanks!!!
You have to listen to Out On a Drunk, mais Feathered Indians and Whitehouse Road
Here are a few ideas:
"Cover Me Up" - Jason Isbell (the Austin City Limits version is great)
"Don't Think Twice" - Billy Strings (Dylan Cover)
"White Freightliner Blues" - Molly Tuttle (Townes Van Zandt Cover)
"Beautiful Stranger" - Marcus King Band
Yeah, definitely some Molly Tuttle
Cover me up definitely
Cover me up, Austin City Limits version is legit: ruclips.net/video/NaUCDqWzy1k/видео.html
@@nosbigibby I think Jason is a great choice because his song lyrics are so incredible and on top of that he's a real guitar slinger. Not a singer-songwriter type.
Tyler is fire, man! I've been blessed with the luxury of watching him grow as a good human & an outstanding artist...from his first open mic night at The V Club in Huntington, WV to the red carpet at The Grammys. He's a true troubadour. And God bless ya for 'getting it'! Getting what Tyler is trying to convey there...the message. Lonesome...haunting...desperation! Appalachian Blues at it's finest and most raw. God Bless Tyler Childers!! Appalachia LOVES you SO MUCH!!
Its a beautiful thing when a son respects and appreciate his father its the same respect that makes a man believe in god and respect life.
You know it’s a serious song when Michael puts the guitar down, and says you know what let’s just listen to that again. You’re killin it man!!!
Ollie9mm dude. So true. Thanks so much!
Just chiming in again to recommend Late July by Shakey Graves
LeftHandMan he knows Shakey ;)
This is hands down my favorite Tyler song. I love all his music but this song describes my childhood and teenage years perfectly. I grew up in the coalfields of Southwest Virginia across the state line from Pike County. Coal is king in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, Southwest Virginia and West Virginia, and with the current state of coal, the hard working men and woman have had to go to the extremes to make money. Some legal, some not. This song reminds me of the daily conversations between my dad and myself growing up. It will be 3 years in June since he left this ol’ world and he pushed me daily to get my education, become a good man, stay away from the growing amount of pills and drugs, and to get out of the hills. He wanted me to have a better life than him and he knew it wasn’t in the mountains where the only livelihood is dying. I feel like maybe you are focusing on the pills a little too much in the song, however. To me, it’s about a father’s constant reminder to his young son about the life lessons of being a good man, working hard, and to not venture down the wrong path in an area where it’s so easy to do. Then it fast forwards to where the son has reached the crossroads of staying straight or taking drugs and he’s struggling. So he thinks back to his childhood and his father’s advice. He gets the chills because he realizes every word his father said was true.
And another phenomenal musician out of the hills of Eastern Kentucky.
This is why I'm subbed here Michael... I had never heard of Tyler and now I need to hear all of his music. Excellent job, thank you!
Vandyman yesssssss
You are in for a treat. A truly beautiful and heartbreaking storyteller.
I been listening to tyler childers for a couple years. He is a beast. Check out Zach Bryan too. The both write great lyrics.
If you like this you should hear his song “ follow you to virgie” makes me tear up every time
His song Coal is one that always get me.
Shake the Frost. That line “they raised the price of dreams so high I couldn’t pay”. Holy fuck wow. How true is that. He’s masterful in his songwriting. Truly special
He played it at his NY concert the place went nuts
Teared me up... new me think of two women in these Ozark mountains .
@@drsimmons74 that line hit me in the chest like a train when I first listened to that song, I'm from a small town of 2,000 people and not shit for 30 miles either direction, nowhere to work besides one gas station and a diner. after I graduated highschool I had no idea how to get out of there but I worked my ass off that summer roofing houses, saved every penny then hugged my family goodbye then took off into the unknown with a full tank of freedom and no end destination, ended up across the country where I now live with a beautiful girlfriend, fulfilling career and a comfortable life but I'll never forget those times thinking of how badly I wanted to leave but couldn't because at the time gas was almost $5 a gallon and I couldn't get anywhere worth going to.
Beautiful!!! Thank you for that compassionate message!!!!
I'm new to this channel, but something I've noticed in almost every video is the pure joy that comes across Michael's face during the music. Love it
Bro I come across your page by accident and all I can say is I've been going thru your stuff and can't get enough. Thanks for doing these because it's amazing. Keep it up, man.
Phillips Family thank you!!!
“Lady may” by Tyler Childers is amazing a lot more guitar picking and it’s beautiful. It will make you feel the season of spring ! Love the videos 👍🏻
Out on a drunk/honky tonk flame is one of my favs by him. I listen to that and born again everyday
Me and my gfs song is "Lady May"-Tyler childers. Give it a try
Me and my GF too
I walked down the isle with my groomsmen to that song waiting for my wife
I only discovered Tyler Childers yesterday and I already consider him my favorite musician. I broke down crying listening to a live show.
Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson. They all have real genuine voices that make them my favorite artists. I also love Eric Church, he’s not an amazing singer but a performer.
You understand it. His guitar licks are beautiful, but that’s only one part of a beautiful piece of art. Thank you so much for focusing on the song as a whole. This song gives me chills too.
I hope you've become the Childers fan that I have these past years. I was late to the party but there are very few songs this man does that wont stir your emotions. Even when he does a cover, he puts that raspy yodel into it at the top of his dang lungs and it just is amazing! Mega talent!
I started tearing up first time I heard this song. Hits home.
I don't usually enjoy enjoy reaction videos but your sincere eractions and love for the arts makes this format work so well. I really love hearing your little remarks and analysis is so much fun. Seeing you goof off and play along and the pure emotion in your reaction on Tyler's very first syllable and the so sincere smile growing on your face is good fun to watch and share.
I think I consider this a perfect song! It really gives you an idea about Tyler's artistry when the guitar teacher says "Who cares about the chords!?" It's even more impressive having seen some of your other videos, which has just as much sincere emotion on your part but where you actually bother explaining the chords. You're so right in that it's the emotion and delivery that's on display here, the lyrics and the story, and the instrument is really just a vessel for delivery, rightfully taking a back seat!
Thank you for your thoughts!
Thank you for making this reaction video. Or else I'd might never heard about Mr Childers. And wow...that's pain turned into music if ever I heard it. Colter Wall and now Tyler Childers...this year is musically blessed...if not healthwise. Hope you all stay save, and keep distant :)
This is my 3rd or 4th time watching this video. I get so much satisfaction watching you see and hear tyler for the first time. Its genuine and i like that. You and RVA are my favorite react channels.
Love Tyler Childers- shake the frost!
I've never seen someone with such great interval and theory training that still gets that much out of a straight forward 4 chord song. Loved the video keep it up. Love the silver sky as well.
It is so rare for me to see someone who loves immersing themselves in music, not just the theory, but the artistry of it as well, as much as I do. I've watched two of your videos and seeing your reactions to songs I love have already brought me to tears. Please keep it up! Also if you're looking for more great tunes like this I suggest you check out "Hymn #101" by Joe Pug, "75 and Sunny" by Ryan Montbleau, "Blondie and Dagwood" by Adam Carroll, and definitely "Rather Low" by Nick Shoulders. Oh and Colter Wall has a video where he sings a song called "Cowpoke" that brings me to tears every time I listen to it.
None of your damn business love it so much. Thank you, and hit me with some links!

Saw Tyler Childers in concert last year at the house of blues in New Orleans. So amazing
Tyler Childers haunts my soul. I loved watching your reaction.
It's hard to imagine the absolute hopelessness experienced by the people living in these areas unless you have been to some of them. Entire towns built on the back of a dying industry, you couldn't write a sadder story. You should check out his song "Hard Times", this song speaks directly to the cyclical nature of life in coal country and how inescapable it can feel.
Also - I've just found your channel today. I am really really enjoy your content. Keep it up.
*We're currently experiencing it in my town. Oil, coal, and railroad have dried up. Covid hit and made it twice as bad. Intense unemployment and drug problems abound. Sad to see the change the past five years.*
My roots are in McDowell Cty West Virginia... and couldn't have said it better 💙
Russell county va about an our from pike county where tylers from and his songs are so critical of the area and rightfully so. We are drowning and theres no life rafts
Quit putting coal killing politicians in power!!!!
@@propstick Has nothing to do with government, but the market demands. Even with Trump pro-coal policies, most energy providers prefered natural gases and renewable energy. They are more effective per cost than coals.
Yeah, Mr. Childers left me speechless too. Lol the guy is a legend
that little solo ... so frickkkin gooood, amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet I listened to this song 44 times the day I discovered it. Loved your reaction.
I have watched so many reactions to this video and yours is damn good man, the way you are playing with him at 10:08 you definitely feel the emotion in the song. I moved to a county near where he is from recently and pills are a huge epidemic there, this song means so much to me and my family, it speaks volumes to the struggle in the Appalachians.
Jon Moreland- you don’t care for me enough to cry
Great shout, this is an incredible song.
I've seen this video and I've watched the Tyler Childers video probably hundreds of times, I watched it again today... cried. and I needed it. cheers dudes.
Childers is an amazing artist and humble person. He is fairly local to me, i've watched him for years on open mic nights as he grew into what he is today. Real and raw.
HELL YEAH!!!! Love this!
Jason Isbell is fantastic (as a lyricist and a guitarist), literally anything would make for a good reaction video. If you want acoustic, pick "Cover Me Up" or "If We Were Vampires" if you want electric, go with "Never Gonna Change" or "Decoration Day"
Gotta do outfit!
He’s on a course straight to Isbell lately for sure
I felt your passion and pain on hearing this song..
I would never have heard most of who you react to being from the UK, Some great singers .. and great reactions . The little riff you slipped in was awesome too
I appreciate your appreciation for the struggles of rural America
Highly recommend Benjamin Todd and the lost dog street band
Agree with this wholeheartedly! They will really blow up in the next 18 months IMHO
Yes!!!!
Absolutely. Ben Todd is sick talented. Absolutely ridiculous how good his songs are. His playing is phenomenal. I can’t say enough. His solo stuff like “Using Again” and Lost Dog’s “One Shot To Wake” are absolute gems. His performance of “The Mountain” is so good. I like it better than the original and the original is by Steve Earle. I mean the guy actually plays a Steve Earle song better than Steve Earle. Not many people can do that. Sorry man. I’ll shut up now
He is responsible for the best version of "The Mountain" that I've heard yet. I love Steve Earle and Levon Helm but Benjamin Todd's banjo version won me over.
@@jenbranshatraw Ben's cover of the Mountain gets me every time.
Tyler Childers and colter wall covered a song together called “Fraulein”. These guys together and unbelievable
After tyler starts puttin soul in it "holy shit" that man gives me chills every time i listen.
The real deal right here boys and girls! He could sing the phone book and I'd love it! 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸
The first line literally went right through me, instantly brought me to tears. Everytime I hear great music I laugh, and I immediately laughed and teared up lol His voice is so powerful.
I am a laugh/cryer too
So you know, Sturg found Tyler and brought him to light and produced early records. He is also from the same town as Chris Stapleton.
Wish I could go back to the first time I ever heard Tyler!
This is the exact video that made Tyler my favorite artist and watching your reaction to hearing his voice the first time was the exact reaction I had.
Colter Wall’s song “Cowpoke” has a completely different song, and on the “Western AF” channel you can hear him talking about it a bit beforehand (Here’s a link: ruclips.net/video/MmxKsK90L14/видео.html )
Jeffrey Tanner definitely a good one!
Such a great song!
Good version but it’s actually not his song. Check out the original by Dave Stamey
I like you actually listen to music and recognize the feelings in all songs. Due to that, I would love to see how you react to Cody Johnson's cover of Shameless. I love this cover because you can see how much he enjoys playing and he just has so much fun.
The first time I heard this song It stopped me in my tracks, and I couldn't hold back the tears that followed... cause I fling lived it, and I survived to text here about it... many didn't... buried several of my kin in Kentucky who weren't so lucky... you can hear the pain in Eastern Kentucky in his voice... Love ya, Tyler.
I lived in Logan, WV as a kid. Mining town. This gives me the shivers. Astonishing.
Love love love love love.
Tylers music came into my life probably 2 years ago and I have to rank him at the very top. Tears literally fall sometimes listening to some of his songs.
That being said, I'm new to the channel and totally digging your reaction videos.
I have learned many of Tyler's songs. Many are simple.. i love how you call the pull offs and details "whatever" because i totally agree. Its pretty dressing but the songs are about his lyrics and emotion that pours out of his voice.
Also let’s talk about that little solo you made over the song 👀
Right?! That sounded insane.
I was wondering if anybody else heard it! Vibed perfectly with it
That was amazing lol holy shit
Yess
Tyler childers is pure raw talent love this dude
please do more Tyler!! love the dude and all of his songs are great!
