I heard of Tyler Childers by seeing his name as the accompanying singer on Colter Wall\u2019s song Fraulein. Since I liked the sound of his voice on that song, I looked him up (on Amazon.com of course!) and saw that he had a few albums.\u00a0 I ordered his most recent one (Purgatory) and gave it a listen.\u00a0 It\u2019s really very good.<\/p>\n

BEGIN RANT<\/strong> \u2013 But what the hell is it with these Millennials and drugs?\u00a0 I mean, almost every song is saturated with dope, cocaine and pills.\u00a0 Understand, I know artists always adopt a bohemian outlook on substance abuse but it seems this guy is continuously stoned.\u00a0 How does he manage to write and practice his music with most of his brain soaked with opioids or worse?\u00a0 And if he isn\u2019t really that much of a stoner why are his songs so filled with them?\u00a0 Is it just required from his generation?\u00a0 I grew up in the seventies and drug use was rampant back then but I don\u2019t know, this seems even more exaggerated. \u2013 END RANT<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, putting the whole drug thing aside (dirty hippies), I like this Childers guy’s music. Lots of interesting instrumental stuff, good vocals, good story telling. All of the songs are good but if I have to pick a few favorites I\u2019ll go with :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I Swear to God<\/li>\n
  2. Purgatory<\/li>\n
  3. Honky Tonk Flame<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There seems to be a generation of Country musicians who you don\u2019t hear on the radio but play very original stuff that\u2019s more closely related to traditional country music than most of the commercial country you hear on the radio. I wonder if the drug content in the songs is keeping these guys off the radio?\u00a0 Well, whatever it is they are producing good music.\u00a0 I just won\u2019t be playing it around my grandkids. And get off my lawn!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Since my readers don’t always stop by every day I figured I’d paste this poll on each post for a while to see what folks call themselves.\u00a0 This is the post the poll came from\u00a0\u00a0Who Are We?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

    … And that got me thinking. Who are the people who read my blog?\u00a0 I thought it might be fun to see what the cross-section looked like.\u00a0 If you feel like saying what you believe in, feel free to leave a comment and\/or pick a label from the poll below.\u00a0 I think it might be interesting.<\/strong><\/p>\n
