Actually living what he sings about.

Precisely

To a T.

Exactly

you sir hit the nail on the head if you will

True just mountain music for short

Well said....Carter Fold baby...you will hear a version of that...not to this skill as you said but...

Yelp with vocal twang. Love it

Truth. Try Benjamin Tod with the Lost Dog Street Band if you want to hear it even more pronounced and sad.

Grew up in Tuscarora Holler, Blue Ridge foothills. Every Friday evening, we`d take a food item to Tuscarora Community center for a night of singing and dancing. This is the singing style I grew up with, born in 1946. This takes me back.

The "I just can't catch a break" is what gets me coming off the back side of it

Check out Uncle Lucius keep the wolves away. Same heartstring pull.

There’s hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal… that right there.

Same

That shit hits deep, especially if you're like most sons of the south and love your old man even though his love is tough and rocky, just like this song.

Could you do more songs with Tyler please. Your session with him is honestly one of the best things I've ever heard. Cheers

@@daltonpeterson3321 | Agreed Tyler Childers is an amazing artists with music that he writes himself. The emotion he shows is not fake it’s genuine. His songs are from his own experiences. He will forever be a great artist. I wonder what county he’s from. I’m Mineral.

@@hunterwagoner7245 he’s from the US. A small, rural area in Kentucky called Pikeville.

Try Logan Halsteads far from here👌

@@yourmomsahoe69 | Ain’t ever heard of it, have to give it a shot

BCTC!

Would he be singing too or just jamming?

That’s us none of our family have their kids every body’s strung out and teethles lmao I live in the “city” luckily I grew up out of my home town but I still know all that goes on

West Virginia is so bad with pills because they all are losing there jobs because the only think the state is good for is coal mining and a lot of people want to get rid of coal and don't recognize they are destroying a state its sad af.

@@jxstified7558 coal is dead. They need to ask for new job opportunities. I have lived in Virginia and DC and Baltimore and have spent a lot of time in West Virginia and played gigs there. Coal is dead. Politicians telling them "the magic" will come back is a lie to get votes. The very capitalist system they claim to love has dictated that coal is never coming back. West Virginia is a beautiful state that has been destroyed by an entire industry it relied on dying and there not being many other options other than drug addiction, alcohol addiction, moonshine, meth and pills, stripping, and working at a casino or a gas station that is on a road that carries cross-state traffic. When I lived in Baltimore I saw tons of people from WVA driving all the way to Baltimore to buy pills in cars that barely worked and might break down on the highway...they would get towed back to WVA and the same tow-truck driver would have to tow them again the next week for trying to get there again with a car that isn't able to make it. They have been failed by republican leadership who only want to demonize the poverty in the East/West Baltimore neighborhoods that they are driving to in the search of drugs anyways. They actually abandon the poverty stricken rural white areas because helping them would mean programs that would help inner city blacks as well because in a lot of ways they have a lot in common: the industries that used to employ them have long since died or left, there is no investment in their neighborhoods/towns, they are left to rot, drug addiction and alcohol addiction becomes rampant for obvious reasons, the schools are trash and most people barely make it through secondary school and high school, and the idea of "getting out" of there is a dream that many feel they will never be able to achieve. It's sad that places like West Virginia have been convinced to vote against helping themselves because it is "liberal" or whatever horse crap. However, I have seen minor shifts now...West Virginia unions have said they will back Biden/Democratic spending plans if it means bringing new jobs and industries to West Virginia because they are realizing that they are being screwed out of opportunity for the benefit of others. Baltimore in the mid 2000s was overflowing with cheap prescription opiates. That is why WVA people were going there if their doctor stopped handing shit out. Drug laws also made it worse because if you are dealing weed you are already breaking the law so you might as well deal oxycontin that is everywhere too...so suddenly people who just want some weed have access to strong opiates that they never would have had access to if weed was legal. Then, once they can't afford the cheap prescription opiates anymore they switch to heroin which is even cheaper in Baltimore and that leads us to the whole heroin/fentanyl conversation as well as a quality and regulation for public safety discussion.

Liberal policies have destroyed cities and states more than any other policies. Yes west virginia is poor but, it's better than voting in policies that make them even poorer and nit be able to afford where they live.

@@HelloThere-jr6gd The Dems have been in office less than 5 months. Did t***p restore the coal industry? no, because it's dead. Time to train for tomorrow's world. You can't blame this on liberal policies. . . You pinned your hopes on a false god. Stop blaming others for your misfortunes.

Lady may is one of my favorites too, I know this is an old reaction, but I’d still love to see her breakdown some of his other songs

Nailed it.

Fr

The finest voices of country right now

I was just going to suggest that song,lol

One of my favorite songs! I'd love to see a reaction to Fraulein!

And Colter Wall has a song with The Dead South called johnny boys bones. It's the bomb.

It's just that simple. "feelings".

Exactly, he’s not buying a song because it’s fitting. He writes his songs hence more emotion and better vocals ❤

That has nothing to do with how a sound is produced, no matter how magical you try to make it sound

@@SnailHatanyea it’s just the dust from the coal mines collected in his esophagus

Such a beautiful song. Makes me tear up every time. Live at Red Barn version

@@lucaswarren5947 I personally like the OurVinyl sessions better.

absolutely love that song

It’s the only song that makes me cry and it makes me cry every single time

@@andycockrum1212same, not every time, but same.

It's actually called the Appalachian cry or Appalachian wail

Do “Somewhere in the Middle” by Cody Jinks!!!

The opium pandemic, especially in Appalachia and the coal mines is heartbreaking

Johnson county Kentucky I’m from the same area. My family went to the same church as Tyler when he was younger.

The county I am from in KY at one time had more pain pill prescriptions than people. Everyone selling em at the first of the month then scrambling to buy em at the end of the month

My father died to the opioid crisis last year due to many related reasons down to doctors prescribing opioids when they should’ve and giving him no help after and also being surrounded by them because of where we are in Kentucky. I can only pray this get better in future years to come.

I'm from Upstate NY but we have a lot of the same problems as Appalachia. Heroin has been getting worse and worse, fueled by docs giving out too many opioids. Not enough money in farming, and the mine industry ruins the air, breaks the roads, doesn't pay enough, wears down the workers. Beautiful area but sad and poor. Lots of people turn to drugs to deal with the hard life, some of em sink in and don't make it out.

"Kentucky wail" or maybe just an Appalachian wail

Exactly!

The Appalachian cry, or Appalachian wail.

It gets better and easier. I promise.

I'll second Cody Jinks

Jinks and Ward Davis.

Absolutely! That's what I was gonna say. Amazing song.

Also, Fraulein.

All great artists are people who suffer and put out there to share with us

Reckoning too

It's Appalachia baby. Variations from middle to bottom but it's Appalachia

Very much so. Nice shot of whiskey or shine to to go along with it helps get that sound.

My dad is from Kentucky and I showed him this song once and when he said "pike county coal" in the song he looks at me and says he's from Kentucky isn't he. I asked him how he knew and he said only people from pike County pronounce it like that 😂

I was saying the same thing as I watched this video...its bluegrass twang Really only get that in KY and WV

Kentucky burboun in his soul

I agree with y'all, I was side of stage at an outdoor festival in Kansas a few years ago and thats just how he sounds all the time.

YES!!! Using Again Sorry for the Things I Said Those are my favorites

Yes yes yes. Literally any song. He also heads a band "Lost Dog Street Band". Amazing story- telling country music.

Turtles all the way down.

I was lucky enough to see Sturgill at a Willie Nelson show in Dallas a few years ago, saw Tyler on the same trip, then again in Sydney with John Prine..

@@tgs40 haha If you know you know

Who the fuck is Sturgill Simpson?

@@RedneckWillyC exactly

Gems on VHS

Benjamin Todd is amazing as well!
