I'm a 60 year old rock and roll guitarist by nature and have no desire to listen to country music. The other day I heard Tyler on my truck radio while skipping across country stations searching for rock and roll and his voice stopped me instantly. I found myself searching for this fella on the internet and now here I am posting this. Tyer has his own genre of music as far as I am concerned and God placed him on this Earth to make us all listen. His lyrics take you for a ride, thank you Mr. Childers...
@@jaimiemuehlhausen5152 We're huge fans of Colter Wall in this house as well - he's a Canadian. "Unique" is how I'd put him. Old style outlaw country.
Been listening to him for a while one of my buddy’s got to listen to him live a few years back before he was real big was only maybe 40 people at the show but the next one was over 2000 people lol. He’s such an AWSOME person and incredible twinkle in the eye of true backwoods country! Trully is an AWSOME fact that we get to be alive to witness him playing and writing and singing his songs
Tyler childers turned his back on the community that he sang about by siding with blm on the breonna taylor narrative. But the truth is they were drug dealers. You can't sing about the horrors of coal countries relationship with meth but then raise money in the name of the drug dealers pushing meth and other drugs in the same community. "long violent history" my ass, pandering to the left just the same way sturgill simpson did. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I love music to the deepest depth of my soul but I don't listen to tylers music anymore. Let's hope billy strings is smarter than that but since he loves to sing about dmt and meth too he probably will end up doing the same .
@@wandamiancrucifixplate568 you should not put up publicly that he was a drug dealer even if you know it to be true... No respect for art and entertainment much less respect for a human being...
Tyler, Sturgill, Shooter, Hank III, Colter Wall, Cody Jinks, Whitey Morgan, Jamey, Chris Stapleton. A few others. Man, country hasn't seen golden years like these in decades.
It was honestly beautiful; i read somewhere that it was around that time that he was first able to perform the song live because he'd get too much emotion in his voice. I say, let us have it, I'll just cry too, it's all good.
The overwhelming story of Appalachia as a whole and while the last of my generation to come out of it I can absolutely say you are right. It never leaves you .
Representing Pike county here ! You're right no matter how many times I left these hills they never left me. Something about these mountains calls me back home everytime. This mountain girl is back home for good I reckon.
"I wouldn't act so angry all the time, I wouldn't keep it all inside, and I'd let you know how much I loved you everyday." Ugh, I probably would have cut off a limb to hear that from someone I loved so much, after he came back from Iraq. But I guess that part of him just died over there, and we became too broken to fix, after more than 18 years together. Tyler's lyrics kinda rip my guts out, they apply to so many parts of my life, but I seem to love the pain, can't get enough.
As the mama of two red haired boys with poet’s hearts, watching and listening to Tyler moves me to tears. We often tease all the cousins doing their part to keep red haired boys in the world so seeing another talented red haired Kentuckian on his way, I will keep sharing my playlists with his songs and catch every show I can. And that is why I always tip the young men delivering applicances as they wander the roads of the Bluegrass and especially Fayette County.
Nothing against Tyler or your family, but why would you intentionally breed gingers? They can't even go out in the sun! Horrible affliction. It's like saying you are doing your part to keep AIDS in the world. Why???

Its so rare to hear a voice like Tylers. I just discovered his music video last night. I am now searching for all of his music. Tyler you are right up there with the old country artists who are dead and gone. Much love to you... Thank you for being born.
Welcome ♡ If you haven't already found his cover of S.G Goodmans song 'Space and Time'. Please find the time, its a wonderful cover and my ultimate feel good vibes cover of a song and you'll be so glad you did. I probably listen to it 10x a month if not more❤
San Remo - Prine shifts into stream of consciousness to find a clever rhyme. Tyler's writing is less abstract. More focused on a... Oh, hell. I don't know what I'm talking about. I do find Tyler to be a superior talent in the so-called Outlaw niche. But of course he's not part of that bunch, God bless em. He's an original.
Childers, Stapleton, Colter Wall, Isbell, Simpson, Jinks, Brandi Carlile, these people are keepin the spirit of country alive through genuine music from the heart
If you ever travel through Milton, WV on I-64, you'll probably see Barney FIfe with his little radar gun, ready to give you a ticket for just 3 miles over 70. Everyone gets a ticket there sooner or later. I even had a friend who was sleepy and pulled off at McDonalds there to take a nap. Barney decided he was a drug addict and needed to search his car. What a waste of time. My friend was told to make those wheels turn and get out of town. Milton just ain't big enough to be called a town. A town would be big enough for Barney Fife's ego. Great music, Tyler.
I grew up about as far north as you can get and still be in the USA (with the exception of Alaska, I guess) and not had given country music much thought for most of my life. After college, I was stationed at a few of Army bases in NC, TX, and KY, but the only foray I made into country music was a little bit of blue grass here and there (courtesy of Old Crow Medicine Show) and some old Johnny Cash as a nod to my late grandfather. Then one day, a couple of years after getting out, I was sitting in a barber chair in Louisville and heard one of the best written and record songs I have ever come across. I fumbled for my phone to use shazam before it finished. It was 'Feathered Indians' and from that moment on I gained a new appreciation for what county music could be. Years later, I am back in my hometown in the Pacific Northwest and I still listed to Tyler and other contemporary country musicians who write real lyrics about real struggles, in honest soulful voices, utilizing traditional and acoustic sounds... there is something about that sound which bring me back to the beautiful landscapes of Kentucky and North Carolina... and that's something I will always appreciate.
He has an energy that translates better in a live setting. Plus his lyrics are brutally bare and honest. He's a once in a generation talent and I pray God keeps him safe and don't let him burn out too quickly.
I'm 32 and as soon as Tyler starts follow you to vergie I start bawling like a baby everytime I don't think I can ever make it all the way threw with out thank God we had someone like that in our lives 🙏
Kid-Again you’re right, I’m not trying to say you’re wrong. I like Tyler Childers voice better honestly and he is a fantastic songwriter as well. I’ve had shake the frost on repeat for about a week now lol. I just wouldn’t say either is better than the other, they are definitely different and that’s the great thing about music my friend. I can go back and forth between great artists. The thing with Isbell and Childers specifically for me is I never get tired of listening to either one of them. Can literally listen to the same song 3 times in a row and I like it just as much as the first time I heard it, possibly even more. Much love brother.
eric5469 didn’t know about the no pic tour, it is what it is I guess. That is kinda shitty I mean who gives a fuck. You should expect that being Jason Isbell. Privacy thing I guess.
Tyler is better than any of those guys, though Sturgill is cool as well... the others are a waste of my time and only good for modern yuppie types who want to feel authentic but can only be as authentic as their money can buy
Tyler, thank you for pumping life back into my veins and soul back into my heart. I was dead. You recessitated me on my kitchen floor. Thank you will never be enough.
How are you doing?? you know Tyler has had many struggles, alcohol / drugs for YEARS, I thought he was definitely not long for this world, but suddenly…….he’s so ALIVE now. I hope you feel so much better.
Two measures into the first Tyler Childers song I'd ever heard he had me by the heart. Deep, genuine, not into "star power", just a talented man and his music. Brings tears.
I owe Anthony Bourdain's WV Parts Unknown for those first strains of Lady May and my GOD i had to know... obsessed with finding out who that was "I've seen my share of trouble and i've held my weight in shame... but i'm baptized in your name" My mind was blown and my heart was owned :)
Tyler is incredible. Maybe try a little bit of The Avett Brothers. Out of North Carolina, they are the real deal, too. A little different than Tyler in sound but genuine and heartfelt. Their fan base is amazing, too. Not trying to take any shine from Tyler because I love his heart and his music, just thought I would mention them if you aren't familiar. Namaste
Tyler Childers' music will be remembered after all we know ceases to exist as we knew it. There's so much that can be forgotten but, this dude preserves our culture. I hope to live in a place where this was born.
tyler childers is one of my favorite singers now and I am not even much of a country guy at all. there is something so real about him. Its not about vocal range, special technique, fancy runs or anything, It is about feeling and believing what is being told, and he does a great job at that.
Ancestors from Magoffin county Kentucky…my parents were born in Pike County Ohio…we ended up in Augusta Ga thx to Fort Gordon. I can feel the connection to this music ❤️
@@Kthig3 I still have land in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee left to my siblings and I by my dad. This land ties back to my great great granddaddy. Somehow I've ended up in Idaho but looking forward to getting back to my roots. But bluegrass has always been a big part of my life.
Taught HS for a couple years in Lawrence County, KY back in ‘06-08 and had some of his kin. He was younger but in later years couldn’t figure out why so many of my former students were so obsessed with this Tyler Childers cat. Then he blew up and my eyes were opened. Making KY proud brother.
Growing up in the Appalachia but living elsewhere now it's hard to explain to someone what it was like. Both good and bad. Now I just tell them to listen to Tyler Childers. He takes this transplanted hillbilly home and makes me miss it every time.
Exactly! My mom's side of the family is a bunch of Ohio hillbillies. Childers' music reminds me of being a kid at those family reunions. People playing bluegrass and clogging. Good times man!
Man this is some good shit. I’ve been betrayed by the radio. Thank goodness for RUclips. And here I thought good music was all in the rear view mirror. Going to be a good day.
Yes sir, they don't want to be in a few commercials for the love of money. THEY don't have to be in a few commercials to get the chance of being famous. THEY are not the same as the new generation of music. THEY have a good time and they play the music because they were raised to the music of the real artists.
I wish there were words...there just aren't. Tyler's the best that's ever been and he was saved, as the best, for a desperate time when music and the world needed him most.
The voilin faught him the entire time. Best youtube version of feathered indians is when he plays alone. He has raw talent and doesnt need a big fancy band to help him tell his story of the hollow.
donovan preston yeah, and to make things worse, the pedal steel and the violin are fighting each other the whole show. Only one fretless instrument onstage at a time generally, and if there’s two, they both have to be properly intonnated and know exactly what they’re doing. I think he was experimenting with his band at this point in his career. Because the pedal steel player is all over the place, ESPECIALLY in Feathered Indians. He made a mistake in the very first chorus and had to put it in there every time to make it look purposeful. Clearly threw him off, because for the rest of the song, he was totally off-put. His current band iteration doesn’t improvise and it’s a lot tighter.
Cici Bradley you’re totally right. I was mistaken on his current band’s iteration. Jesse improvises every single night on the road. He’s become one of my favorite guitar players, honestly. James and Jesse play off each other so well. James has improved on the steel a great deal. I bought a pedal steel not long after making my original comment here. His playing made me finally pull the trigger on one. There’s a fantastic video of TC at Americanafest on RUclips, in case you haven’t seen it. One of the highest quality recordings of a live show I’ve ever seen. And everyone was having an on-night like crazy. Good shit. Can’t wait to catch them on the road this year.
Country music lost me and Tyler found my way back to country music. My people are from Kentucky I was born in Tennessee so it means a lot to have my roots in music in mt life and enjoyed. Thank you Tyler ❤💪💯
Brother, your voice and talent is a blessing. You're damned voice gets me emotional and tear me up. Love it. I'd love to hear you live. You're awesome.
Love Tyler Childers, he's like a breath of pure mountain Spring... we have missed you for all this time, Childers... hope you stick around for a long, long time. Gracias, mi amigo!
I can’t say that Tyler saved me or anything like that. But I can say that he and Colter Wall have made me find my love for country music again. They undid all the damage that Sam Hunt and Keith Urban have the past 5 years
23:25 you can see him wiping his eyes and choking on his words. Follow You to Virgie really did come straight from the heart, and that's why it along with his other music is so beautiful.
deodorantparfait he said on a red barn performance where he performed virgie, it was the first time he made it through the song without crying. Its about his friend Cody from high school's grandmother.
This is just amazing music that comes from the heart. He's great songwriter and has an unique sound matching his voice,great artist. Ruston Kelly is another one,unique sound,fantastic songwriter and singer,also amazing music,great artist.
Makes me optimistic for the future of real country music and folk music. Childers has successfully combined Hank, Seeger, Guthrie, and Dylan...... I'll bet even ol' Arlo Guthrie would smile..... I love it, our music will live on...... Thank you Tyler.
I can’t get enough of this guy, also guys, really really feeling Colter Wall, a Canadian guy, go listen NOW if you haven’t already devil wears a suit and tie
I totally agree...much prefer his stuff solo. But having said that, there's a live version of Whitehouse Road on his Y.T. page (with "the food stamps") that's VERY well produced (visually and sound quality). I can't even believe I'm saying this, but I have to admit this particular performance of Whitehouse Road has me giving (it) and (either) of his solo versions equal praise. There's some kinda Allman Brothers magic happening there. The video starts out focusing on Tyler with a soft light shining down on his face and a wild look in his eyes (😉)' and he just absolutely NAILS it! The band sounds great (not at all like the way, way over produced album version), with every instrument clear and clean. The steel guitar in this vid really helps with the Allman Brothers feel. In that video there's a cool yin-yang (?) kinda thing going on, with the band doing solid, upbeat, "feel good" music, but at the same time Tyler's singing from a hard and dark place....it's awesome.
oh man true artist. The way he still cries when singing Fallow You To Virgie, about the lovely lady that supported him. I loved the song, And then my mother died recently and this song truelly resonates now. Love this guy since I became aware of him.
Them Kentucky Boys bring it! Tyler, Sturgill, Chris Knight and all the others who've been fueling country music forever. I live in WV, but Kentucky is country music.
I have a couple boys (any and all boys in this country neighborhood) who are stretching their wings (or noses) and these boys are now full fledged adults. I never miss an opportunity to remind them to behave in the same manner as I did when they were 5. The greatest tribute you could have done for Virgie is exactly what you have done! She would be SO proud!! (I know I would be
I listen Tyler every night and it brings chills to my life , what a guy , i"m working out and someday would like to play the way he does, Love lyrics and music.
I'd like to thank the Ranch 95.9 - Fort Worth, TX for playing Feathered Indians and introducing the sound of Tyler Childers to me. His music is awesome, looking forward to seeing him in Austin, come July.
“If I’d known you were religious, then I wouldn’t have came stoned, to a house such an angel, to fucked up to make it back home” This verse gave me chills
Absolutely amazing voice. Keep going the way you go. Keep writing them songs that mean so much to you and to the people who listen. Don't let the music companies change your style or what you write.
Oh Boy Records brought me here tonight. I've been aware of Tyler for a while but hadn't caught up to him until tonight. Yesterday I spent the day listening to John Prine, Johnny, Willie, Waylon, Chris and Merle. Now I can add Tyler to my list of necessary life support for today's insane world. I can feel the real! What a great band too. I trained as a classical violinist so the young fiddler gets a huge thank you also. Thank you all for sharing this wonderful gem.
Many songs and artists cause an “emotional response “ when you listen but Tyler is on another level, and seems to do it effortlessly. It must be real. I have listened to ‘Follow you to Virgie’ one time, and that was it. I actually cannot get through that song without breaking down. I have to skip it every time.
Tyler Childers and Billy Strings will put chill bumps down my spine. FOLLOW You To VIRGIE almost makes me want to cry. Good music cleans the soul and I love this guy. He clears my mind and heart.
Damn dude you can tell in “follow you to virgie” he’s trying to hold back the tears. I cried enough for both of us Ty. Finished with lady may to cheer himself up obviously.
My dogs name is LadyMae I almost lost her yesterday and the Vet tech told me about Tyler...I've seen my share of trouble but LadyMae keeps me less lonely. . What a beautiful song ...I'll never stop playing all his song ..what a great artist. .I may even move to Kentuky.....🌻🌲☮ thankyou
Found this via NPR top 50 albums of 2017, so thanks NPR. Been listening to Sturgill for a while so Tyler is great discovery. Lot of sniffling, just hope its a touch of a cold. Keep your powder dry, friends.
I am a firm believer that some people are put here to do exactly what this young man does, seen him 4 times I think and I say that because Tyler's music makes my soul WILD, and scare the bumps off my goose,,the vibes he creates are a little taste of heaven ✌️😉❤️🔥
Such wonderful God given talent. No matter what he sings it grabs your attention and keeps it until the end. Such a unique songwriter and singer. I love the way he tells a story. He brings you along with him and you can feel his music inside you. It brings tears to my eyes bc of how powerful his lyrics are. Wonderful, heartfelt original music that needs to be heard around the world. Keep it up young man. You got a very bright future ahead of you. Just don’t fuck it up with drugs. Stay as far away as you possibly can from that garbage.

I'm 32 and as soon as Tyler starts follow you to vergie I start bawling like a baby everytime I don't think I can ever make it all the way threw with out thank God we had someone like that in our lives 🙏
This dude has made me get through some dark times .... when I shouldn’t have been able to or still be here living & breathing
Same, man. Same. Glad you found your way through. Music heals.
AMEN!
yeah man me too
First time I heard that version without hearing "fucked up", lol.
hehehehe...me too!
might have still said "fucked up" when singing along
Anyone from Wyoming here? So much talent outside of what they try to feed us...Tyler, Cody Jinks, Ben Haggard...there is hope yet.
My new obsession
I am floored
He will be as big as Ryan Adams, Jason Isbell, Sturgill and Chris Stapelton one day.
Your prediction is coming true.
Kid-Again whaaaaaat? Dude Jason Isbells songwriting is next level.
Kid-Again you’re right, I’m not trying to say you’re wrong. I like Tyler Childers voice better honestly and he is a fantastic songwriter as well. I’ve had shake the frost on repeat for about a week now lol. I just wouldn’t say either is better than the other, they are definitely different and that’s the great thing about music my friend. I can go back and forth between great artists. The thing with Isbell and Childers specifically for me is I never get tired of listening to either one of them. Can literally listen to the same song 3 times in a row and I like it just as much as the first time I heard it, possibly even more. Much love brother.
eric5469 didn’t know about the no pic tour, it is what it is I guess. That is kinda shitty I mean who gives a fuck. You should expect that being Jason Isbell. Privacy thing I guess.
Tyler is better than any of those guys, though Sturgill is cool as well... the others are a waste of my time and only good for modern yuppie types who want to feel authentic but can only be as authentic as their money can buy
Tyler, thank you for pumping life back into my veins and soul back into my heart. I was dead. You recessitated me on my kitchen floor. Thank you will never be enough.
❤
How are you doing?? you know Tyler has had many struggles, alcohol / drugs for YEARS, I thought he was definitely not long for this world, but suddenly…….he’s so ALIVE now. I hope you feel so much better.
Two measures into the first Tyler Childers song I'd ever heard he had me by the heart. Deep, genuine, not into "star power", just a talented man and his music. Brings tears.
I owe Anthony Bourdain's WV Parts Unknown for those first strains of Lady May and my GOD i had to know... obsessed with finding out who that was
"I've seen my share of trouble and i've held my weight in shame... but i'm baptized in your name"
My mind was blown and my heart was owned :)
Tyler is incredible. Maybe try a little bit of The Avett Brothers. Out of North Carolina, they are the real deal, too. A little different than Tyler in sound but genuine and heartfelt. Their fan base is amazing, too. Not trying to take any shine from Tyler because I love his heart and his music, just thought I would mention them if you aren't familiar. Namaste
He makes me dance and appreciate life,heart
Tyler Childers' music will be remembered after all we know ceases to exist as we knew it. There's so much that can be forgotten but, this dude preserves our culture. I hope to live in a place where this was born.
this man needs a Grammy.
Been listening to Tyler for a few months now. Dude is addictive. Tremendous talent. You can feel his music....
Love listening to Tyler, my favorite is Triune God!
Found this feller about four years ago. He's gotten the recognition he deserves, but he deserves WAY more. I'm really happy for him.
tyler childers is one of my favorite singers now and I am not even much of a country guy at all. there is something so real about him. Its not about vocal range, special technique, fancy runs or anything, It is about feeling and believing what is being told, and he does a great job at that.
He’s a poet, a got damn Eastern Kentucky poet!!
Love everything,so happy to see him recognized my favorite still Universal Sound... there's a lot more to this man than some can realize
This is the kind of talent that only shows up every now and then. I'm grateful to be alive to hear it. Thank you Tyler you a one of a kind my friend.
Ancestors from Magoffin county Kentucky…my parents were born in Pike County Ohio…we ended up in Augusta Ga thx to Fort Gordon. I can feel the connection to this music ❤️
@@Kthig3 I still have land in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee left to my siblings and I by my dad. This land ties back to my great great granddaddy. Somehow I've ended up in Idaho but looking forward to getting back to my roots. But bluegrass has always been a big part of my life.
Taught HS for a couple years in Lawrence County, KY back in ‘06-08 and had some of his kin. He was younger but in later years couldn’t figure out why so many of my former students were so obsessed with this Tyler Childers cat. Then he blew up and my eyes were opened. Making KY proud brother.
Tyler Childers provides a soundtrack for life in these hills.
Man his voice is unique and haunting all at once 💙
He’s my favorite but if u want to hear haunting listen to Colter Wall
An. Amazing spirit
Growing up in the Appalachia but living elsewhere now it's hard to explain to someone what it was like. Both good and bad. Now I just tell them to listen to Tyler Childers. He takes this transplanted hillbilly home and makes me miss it every time.
Exactly! My mom's side of the family is a bunch of Ohio hillbillies. Childers' music reminds me of being a kid at those family reunions. People playing bluegrass and clogging. Good times man!
Welcome Home.
Man this is some good shit. I’ve been betrayed by the radio. Thank goodness for RUclips. And here I thought good music was all in the rear view mirror. Going to be a good day.
Yes sir, they don't want to be in a few commercials for the love of money. THEY don't have to be in a few commercials to get the chance of being famous. THEY are not the same as the new generation of music. THEY have a good time and they play the music because they were raised to the music of the real artists.
Thanks
Thank God they don’t play Tyler on the radio. He’s too damn good for it. My first show is in December and I can’t wait to go
Tyler Childers is the most talented red-headed step child I've ever heard!
I wish there were words...there just aren't. Tyler's the best that's ever been and he was saved, as the best, for a desperate time when music and the world needed him most.
Marshal, I couldn't have said it any better. I think he was put right here at the right time. ❤️
@@elaineweaver6249❤
how could you not love this guy and his music! So good and talented. He also seems humble and down to earth too.
I could listen to this every day. This boy is in a class of his own. It's called fuckin' awesome !!!
Agree. Soooooo soothing to the soul ❤🎉
The voilin faught him the entire time. Best youtube version of feathered indians is when he plays alone. He has raw talent and doesnt need a big fancy band to help him tell his story of the hollow.
donovan preston yeah, and to make things worse, the pedal steel and the violin are fighting each other the whole show. Only one fretless instrument onstage at a time generally, and if there’s two, they both have to be properly intonnated and know exactly what they’re doing. I think he was experimenting with his band at this point in his career. Because the pedal steel player is all over the place, ESPECIALLY in Feathered Indians. He made a mistake in the very first chorus and had to put it in there every time to make it look purposeful. Clearly threw him off, because for the rest of the song, he was totally off-put.
His current band iteration doesn’t improvise and it’s a lot tighter.
@@bobbob24able Same great band and pedal steel now as in this video, only now Professor Jesse Wells is on fiddle. And yeah, they're very tight now.
I feel that he's best when it's just him and a guitar
Cici Bradley you’re totally right. I was mistaken on his current band’s iteration. Jesse improvises every single night on the road. He’s become one of my favorite guitar players, honestly. James and Jesse play off each other so well. James has improved on the steel a great deal. I bought a pedal steel not long after making my original comment here. His playing made me finally pull the trigger on one. There’s a fantastic video of TC at Americanafest on RUclips, in case you haven’t seen it. One of the highest quality recordings of a live show I’ve ever seen. And everyone was having an on-night like crazy. Good shit. Can’t wait to catch them on the road this year.
@@rachel_Cochran me too
Country music lost me and Tyler found my way back to country music. My people are from Kentucky I was born in Tennessee so it means a lot to have my roots in music in mt life and enjoyed. Thank you Tyler ❤💪💯
Brother, your voice and talent is a blessing. You're damned voice gets me emotional and tear me up. Love it. I'd love to hear you live. You're awesome.
That little girl on the fiddle is just astounding.
Can't get over the violinist! Wow..your voice..the band..WELL DONE! LOVIN THIS IN PA. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS ❤
She's good... but she's playing a completely different style of music and it's oddly out of place on this to me...
We call it a fiddle here in these parts.
@@ParkRoadGuyagreed it’s way out of place. It’s like she ain’t playing the fiddle. It’s like she’s playing violin
@@joshuacooper7074 thanks for making me feel sane. I wondered if it was just me.
Love Tyler Childers, he's like a breath of pure mountain Spring... we have missed you for all this time, Childers... hope you stick around for a long, long time. Gracias, mi amigo!
Oh look, it’s real country music
This is the best REAL COUNTRY that I have heard in decades.
There is hope for modern country music.
I can’t say that Tyler saved me or anything like that. But I can say that he and Colter Wall have made me find my love for country music again. They undid all the damage that Sam Hunt and Keith Urban have the past 5 years
23:25 you can see him wiping his eyes and choking on his words. Follow You to Virgie really did come straight from the heart, and that's why it along with his other music is so beautiful.
deodorantparfait he said on a red barn performance where he performed virgie, it was the first time he made it through the song without crying. Its about his friend Cody from high school's grandmother.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot I still haven’t it made it through!
@@whiskeytangofoxtrot4523 came to say the same
I'm a 50 year old rocker but this is great. I will be going to see this dude live when covid 19 is over
Me to lol
My daughter just introduced me to this ,thanks babe
This is just amazing music that comes from the heart. He's great songwriter and has an unique sound matching his voice,great artist. Ruston Kelly is another one,unique sound,fantastic songwriter and singer,also amazing music,great artist.
Makes me optimistic for the future of real country music and folk music. Childers has successfully combined Hank, Seeger, Guthrie, and Dylan...... I'll bet even ol' Arlo Guthrie would smile.....
I love it, our music will live on...... Thank you Tyler.
Damn good feeling to run these roads
His music is literally addicting
agree.... im obsessed
Physically addictive i get sick without it lol
I can’t get enough of this guy, also guys, really really feeling Colter Wall, a Canadian guy, go listen NOW if you haven’t already devil wears a suit and tie
Listen to him pour his heart out into follow you to virgie. You could tell he was trying so hard not to break down through it. Such a beautiful song.
My favorite artist he sings about real people and real events without sugar coating he’s a voice for the poor blue collar man ! God bless him
God bless you Tyler Childers. You beautiful creature. The best parts of you will never change. The wild angels love you and protect you for eternity
@Tyler Childers one love, my brother.
@Tyler Childers I watch from everywhere and everything.
Was a fan after hearing my first song. Sang it to myself all day on the river as I fished. Truly special gift.
He’s so much better without a band... they took the spirit right out of White House road
I totally agree...much prefer his stuff solo.
But having said that, there's a live version of Whitehouse Road on his Y.T. page (with "the food stamps") that's VERY well produced (visually and sound quality).
I can't even believe I'm saying this, but I have to admit this particular performance of Whitehouse Road has me giving (it) and (either) of his solo versions equal praise.
There's some kinda Allman Brothers magic happening there.
The video starts out focusing on Tyler with a soft light shining down on his face and a wild look in his eyes (😉)' and he just absolutely NAILS it! The band sounds great (not at all like the way, way over produced album version), with every instrument clear and clean. The steel guitar in this vid really helps with the Allman Brothers feel.
In that video there's a cool yin-yang (?) kinda thing going on, with the band doing solid, upbeat, "feel good" music, but at the same time Tyler's singing from a hard and dark place....it's awesome.
I agree.His talent really shines through when it's just him and his 6 string.
Don't have the words to describe how good Tyler is ....I cannot listen enough ......
oh man true artist. The way he still cries when singing Fallow You To Virgie, about the lovely lady that supported him. I loved the song, And then my mother died recently and this song truelly resonates now. Love this guy since I became aware of him.
I loved hearing the story behind Tyler writing Whitehouse Road... Just amazing!!!
I haven't heard anything that he hasn't killed singing yet
This is what music should be thanks tyler
I thought country was dead until I heard Tyler and Sturgill.
Them Kentucky Boys bring it!
Tyler, Sturgill, Chris Knight and all the others who've been fueling country music forever. I live in WV, but Kentucky is country music.
I have a couple boys (any and all boys in this country neighborhood) who are stretching their wings (or noses) and these boys are now full fledged adults. I never miss an opportunity to remind them to behave in the same manner as I did when they were 5. The greatest tribute you could have done for Virgie is exactly what you have done! She would be SO proud!! (I know I would be
Just good down home truth in music! The more I listen, the more I LOVE it. Unbelievably awesome poetry!
I listen Tyler every night and it brings chills to my life , what a guy , i"m working out and someday would like to play the way he does, Love lyrics and music.
Sure like this 👌😏,first song I ever heard him sing was Help me make it through the night !!!!!!!!
🥰🌷💕, love your comments!
I'd like to thank the Ranch 95.9 - Fort Worth, TX for playing Feathered Indians and introducing the sound of Tyler Childers to me. His music is awesome, looking forward to seeing him in Austin, come July.
“If I’d known you were religious, then I wouldn’t have came stoned, to a house such an angel, to fucked up to make it back home”
This verse gave me chills
Absolutely amazing voice. Keep going the way you go. Keep writing them songs that mean so much to you and to the people who listen. Don't let the music companies change your style or what you write.
Going home is SO damn catchy with that violin fill!!! Omg
I drift away in this guy's music. It makes me proud of home
Oh Boy Records brought me here tonight. I've been aware of Tyler for a while but hadn't caught up to him until tonight. Yesterday I spent the day listening to John Prine, Johnny, Willie, Waylon, Chris and Merle. Now I can add Tyler to my list of necessary life support for today's insane world. I can feel the real! What a great band too. I trained as a classical violinist so the young fiddler gets a huge thank you also. Thank you all for sharing this wonderful gem.
My two favs right now childers n simpson.
who is simpson?
Kracker Sturgill Simpson from Harlan, KY
melissa salyer Jackson ky
Jason Isbell
N Stapleton!
Many songs and artists cause an “emotional response “ when you listen but Tyler is on another level, and seems to do it effortlessly. It must be real. I have listened to ‘Follow you to Virgie’ one time, and that was it. I actually cannot get through that song without breaking down. I have to skip it every time.
If the last two songs didn't bring you to tears, you're not human.
Tyler Childers and Billy Strings will put chill bumps down my spine. FOLLOW You To VIRGIE almost makes me want to cry. Good music cleans the soul and I love this guy. He clears my mind and heart.
The fiddle work on Feathered Indians is lovely in this live version.
Damn dude you can tell in “follow you to virgie” he’s trying to hold back the tears. I cried enough for both of us Ty. Finished with lady may to cheer himself up obviously.
such a talented soul...
My dogs name is LadyMae I almost lost her yesterday and the Vet tech told me about Tyler...I've seen my share of trouble but LadyMae keeps me less lonely. .
What a beautiful song ...I'll never stop playing all his song ..what a great artist. .I may even move to Kentuky.....🌻🌲☮ thankyou
Kentucky or West Virginia
His voice is literally perfect
Found this via NPR top 50 albums of 2017, so thanks NPR. Been listening to Sturgill for a while so Tyler is great discovery. Lot of sniffling, just hope its a touch of a cold. Keep your powder dry, friends.
Ben Jenkins it’s a damn good feelin to run these roads
He looks super messed up, but still sounds like an angel
I am so sad that I am just now hearing of this guy. He's amazing.
I am a firm believer that some people are put here to do exactly what this young man does, seen him 4 times I think and I say that because Tyler's music makes my soul WILD, and scare the bumps off my goose,,the vibes he creates are a little taste of heaven ✌️😉❤️🔥
Such wonderful God given talent. No matter what he sings it grabs your attention and keeps it until the end. Such a unique songwriter and singer. I love the way he tells a story. He brings you along with him and you can feel his music inside you. It brings tears to my eyes bc of how powerful his lyrics are. Wonderful, heartfelt original music that needs to be heard around the world.
Keep it up young man. You got a very bright future ahead of you. Just don’t fuck it up with drugs. Stay as far away as you possibly can from that garbage.
