Tyler Childers
Hailing from the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky, Tyler Childers is part of a wave of 2010s Americana artists who prize authenticity both in their songs and sound. Sonically, he borrows heavily from the weathered, ornery progressive country records of the 1970s, a comparison brought into sharp relief on his second album, 2017’s Purgatory, which was produced by the acclaimed Americana rocker Sturgill Simpson. Childers’ success continued with a Grammy nomination for “All Your’n,” a cut from 2020’s politically charged bluegrass album Long Violent History. Where that record benefited from his control, its 2022 successor, Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven? showcased his ambition, featuring a variety of styles spread over the course of three LPs. Childers tightened back up for Rustin’ in the Rain, an alternately raucous and empathetic album from 2023. His next album, 2025’s Snipe Hunter, featured production from Rick Rubin.
