- April 11, 2018 | Lars Gotrich -- Tyler Childers writes songs about hard lives and hard love with direct heart. You meet these characters - some from his own life, some not - and feel like you know them, but there's always another layer to uncover with each listen, carved by his coarse and soulful Kentucky drawl.
In his performance at the Tiny Desk, we meet a miner and the consequences of addiction ("Nose on the Grindstone"), Childers' own in-laws ("This is a song about the first time I got snowed in with my in-laws," he says, expecting a laugh, and giving it a beat. "It's not a blues song, it's a love song"), and the love of his life, "Lady May." Only the closing song comes from last year's Purgatory, his proper debut record, produced by Sturgill Simpson. The others are regular features in Childers' live repertoire for now, but lived in and alive, ready for us to dig deep.
SET LIST
"Nose on the Grindstone"
"22nd Winter"
"Lady May"

Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Colter Wall need to recreate the Highwaymen, just say'n.
Colter has a voice that makes the hair on my arm stand up
Paul Little yeah I think Colter Wall tries too hard to go deep and it results in a lack of melody, but that's just me
Skyler I think youre onto something
Yes sir but on there own Accord.
Cut From the Same Cloth but different just the same.
It's mainstream and pop we don't want
It would be to intense, no.
I wish all of you could understand what it’s like for us Kentucky boys to see this guy making it...
he’s makin us country folk proud. Keep givin em hell Tyler
I do, brother.
I sit in Florida everyday listening to Tyler so I can take a mental trip back to old kentucky home.
lotta boys look like you do out there in kentucky? might have to take a little trip. 😉 lol
Fuck yea
Travis Farmer me too man I’m in school down here and I listen to him every time I get homesick
One of America’s best kept secrets. Deserves some recognition.
Could use another hour of this.
Caleb Barr damn straight
saw him three times last year and I get to see him with John Prine in a few weeks. I can't tell enough people about him
Finally get to see him tonight in Portland, OR
new fan.
ive seen him 2x already and ill see him again at newport folk...cant fucking wait. everyone person ive shown this talented young man has thanked me.
His entire demeanor changed, his face lit up when he played Lady May. It was touching to see that the song fills his heart with joy like she probably does. That was cool.
Aman brother!
A huge part of being such an amazing performer like TC is being able to basically method act your emotions at the same time because the more you feel, the more you flow. As Tyler demonstrates by smashing all of his songs live
Great observation
That’s just what I was going to say! You can see the passion and genuineness in his face right when he starting singing lady may
I bet Senora May was standing where he was looking when he played it😂
Who is still watching in 2023? I can't get enough of Tyler. He sings with so much soul behind his voice!
The best part is just how much healthier he looks today. He seems in an all around better place, and that makes me happy. The time period of this video was not the best for him, from what I've heard.
I'm OBSESSED with everything about his voice. He's very important.
I keep coming back to this as well. It bums me out that his albums aren't just him and his guitar. It sounds so much better this way. Perhaps now that Oliver Anthony blew up, that authentic, acoustic sound can finally be embraced again by record labels. A guy like Childers, with all his soul and great songwriting, should be heard in his purest form.
@@LynxpootThat bum is nothing like Tyler and never will be. Please don’t compare the two of them.
@@kirstieisakoolkid Way to completely ignore my take on acoustic country with an unsollicited ad hominem
I’ve always thought i hate country. But no I guess I just hate “radio” country. Cause this is good stuff right here
Yeah country is not bad at all. There is a lot of crap but too me it's like the same thing with Rap. If you are interested I would recommend Jason Isbell, Sturgil Simpson, or Chris Stapleton if you want to put your foot into the genre of Country music. Surgil and Jason are both great song writers while Chris just has an amazingly Bluesy voice
Me too I mainly listen to some hard core shit like rock and metal. But I have noticed my TH-cam playlist is all these characters of this style now. I done went Folk, Bluegrass, country. And loving it. Think I may write something like this because I am a guitar picker as well oh colter wall. But tyler is my favorite at the moment.
No my man. You hate "pop". The pop sound can get inserted into any genre as it becomes mainstream, that's where the term pop(ular) comes from. Country pop is garbage. Real country is great.
This ain't country though
@@myoung5438 of course it is. This is the core of what country is. If this isn't country, then country doesn't mean anything at all. Look up Tyler Childers accepting his Americana award, and what he said there.
I saw Tyler at the Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, NC with Colter Wall and it may have been one of the best shows I have ever seen. Colter opened and Tyler played for almost 3 hours straight after. It was incredible. They were playing in the smaller room and would go out and mingle between sets because there is no backstage area. They are awesome guys, awesome entertainers and awesome songwriters. Music in America has been polished to an annoying level, its about time we have some down dirty gritty music again and I think these two are good ambassadors of that movement.
Benjamin So damn lucky
I envy you benjy.that green dyed monster envy......or is that jealousy?????north wales hill country.hope mountain hillbilly pete.
I would absolutely love to see tyler up close play some songs. Dude is amazing. I found out about him on youtube about a month ago and I have been listening to all his songs nonstop since then.
Benjamin Herring I saw him this year at the Cat’s Cradle main stage. Not the same as the back room the year before but it was still a great show.
Benjamin I was there too! Those days are over man but we'll never forget it
Childers, Stapleton, Simpson. God bless Kentucky.
Lynn, Loveless, Monroe, Judds, Yoakam, Hall.... yeah the list goes on and on. Bless Kentucky indeed..
can't leave Ben Tod out of this lineup.
arlo McKinley , Larry fleet , please include guys
Couldn't agree more with you on that
Apparently that has already been done!
Now I ain't the toughest hickory
That your ax has ever felled
But I'm a hickory just as well
I'm a hickory all the same
I came crashin' through the forest
As you cut my roots away
And I fell a good long ways
For my lovely Lady May
Damn, that's a great verse!
Josh and she’s one lucky lady.
I just love it
Mesmerizing verse
Imagine having lady may written about you. What a lucky lady she is
I choose to believe it was written about me. Now I may be a 37 year old man that Tyler has never met, but I make this choice nonetheless.
Tyler makes life more tolerable.
fuck ya man well said.
He does bro
You hit that on the nail saying that
Hell yes he does! Good call 🤝
When he sings it hits feelings you have never felt before
It's funny I listen to so much music, so many different kinds and genres, but every once in awhile I come across something so striking and simple that it gives pause. How did it take so long to find this how come it seems and sounds so familiar to other things I've enjoyed yet I haven't heard this until now. It just goes to show life never runs out of wonderful surprises if we are fortunate enough to look long enough.
Same, man. Same. Found out about Benjamin Tod shortly after TC and realized he doesn't live far from me. Small world.
Same here! Good thing he was trending today on TH-cam and now I’m listening to his music non stop
For those with eyes to see and ears to hear. :)
@Ty Steger I absolutely loved reading this, thanks a lot, you should write more
Such an awesome comment.
I wish this was longer than 9 minutes. This dude is amazing.
joe momma just look up Tyler childers residency there's two videos both are good
Makes you miss Kentucky even when you've never been there.
The production quality/value of these Tiny Desk Concerts is almost unmatched. I truthfully think they should start producing albums.
0:11 - Nose On the Grindstone
3:26 - 22nd Winter
6:27 - Lady May
Hero ❤
Godbless thank you
His voice brought me such peace through my whole pregnancy, now I was here rocking my baby back and forth hoping he would calm down, his voice did the trick & brought me to tears yet again. An angel.
These new prolific artists, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, John Fullbright, Jason Isabell... They are the artists of today that echo the unfinished catalogs of Towns Van Zandt, John Prine, and Levon Helm. They are painting fantastic stories with their guitar and vocal brushes that will be enjoyed for years to come. Thank you.
Benjamin Tod/Lost Dog Street band, and Casper Allen !
Couldn't agree more with that sentiment, it seems there are a handful in various genres who are doing this. Art imitating life... history repeating itself... the best parts... keep the rest.
Gonna throw Zach Bryan's name into the hat here too!
I love how raspy and unique his voice is!!
Nathan Elwood he's the Kurt cobaine of the south⚡️!!!
I was able to see him live and he belts these tunes. Highly recommend show if you get a chance.
Reminds me of Chris Knight
he sounds a lot like a young Steve Earle too. Good stuff!
I was privileged to get to record Tyler for Anthony Bourdain's episode West Virginia episode and I got to spend some time with Tyler and his band and was blown away by the talent and the nicest people I've ever met. I'm not a fan of country music, but Tyler's solo performances are powerful and beautiful. Hope to see them blow up soon.
I think u got your wish, around these parts (Central Texas) he's basically a household name even to people that don't like country
That song and that episode were so impactful
What a privilege. I used to cook for uncle Tony’s mother a lot, but I don’t know what id do if I actually met the met who I so admired
RIP to Anthony Bourdain
So much love and respect for Appalachian artists...
-Eastern Kentucky
WHOSE LISTENIING IN 2020!! TYLER YOUR MY SPIRIT ANIMAL !!!
The way he looks when he is singing about his wife in Lady May just melts my heart.
three years later and this vid is still making people (me) cry. it should be illegal to be that talented.
When you can listen to every single song on an album or playlist and not have to skip to the good songs because EVERY song is amazing, you know they are truly doing exactly what they are meant to do in life. He is the best hands down.
The emotion in lady May makes the song
My wife and I danced to Lady May as our first dance at our wedding last summer! Love this video!
As a music fan who loves every genre, childers gives me hope for the future of country
Grew up in Kentucky and hated country music until I found this guy and Colter Wall. Great stuff
Holy shit does"nose on the grindstone" hit home
Nose on the grindstone makes my chest shudder listening to it. Everything in this song my father has said to me. My daddy preaches about the grindstone. Has my whole life. I can't get enough of Tyler's music.
If only this song was around 15 years ago...
Hits home because its when I hit rock bottom
Rudy 1993
Tyler gives voice to not just Eastern Kentucky , all of apalacia and it’s pain of the Opioid epidemic, but the culture that is leaving or gone from the loss of coal jobs, poverty, restless young hillbillies ( I get to say that I was one) and all of us people that grew up in those hollers . Well done young man. Every song makes me long to go back to the hills
The impactfulslness of the first song always brings shivers down my spine considering how Purdue Pharma destroyed small midwestern communities like Tyler sings about.
Eastern kentucky appalachia but yeah same thing i guess haha
And then Appalachian people get nothing but hate and derision from everyone (mostly people in cities) even though they're struggling. They get called white trash and whatever other insult by people who will then turn around and say they care about poor people. It's socially acceptable to make fun of them in many places for some reason even though they've been exploited in many ways over the years, especially by the coal industry and pharma companies. But no one cares. They just laugh.
@@tristonfitzpatrick4198I think of Appalachia too when I think of the epidemic but the Midwest was brought to its knees by it as well
@@bigpapi6688 Everywhere was. It's nationwide. You see it on the streets of CA too, Skid Row is INSANE now.
I'm messaging from Newfoundland an island in the middle of the north Atlantic.. just thought you should know your music is loved far and wide. Please keep up the good work
Fellow Newfoundlander here! I've travelled to New Jersey, Toronto, and Kentucky to see Tyler. I got to have a chat with him in Toronto and told him a bit about Newfoundland.
That's amazing. As you know music is a big part of growing up in Newfoundland. As a result I've gained an appreciation for many genres of music. This young man though, he's really struck a chord in my soul.
I feel this stuff. Tyler is quickly turning into another great Kentucky music icon like Chris Knight, Sturgill Simpson and Chris Stapleton. Get 'em boy!
freetickeys - Dwight Yoakam?
There is plenty of good music from Kentucky. Bill Monroe was born here. He is the "Father of Bluegrass Music" Jean Ritchie was born here. She is considered the bridge between traditional and modern folk music. Roscoe Holcomb was born here. He was the inspiration for the term "high lonesome sound". J.D. Crowe was born here, as was Hylo Brown, Loretta Lynn, Tom T. Hall, Grandpa Jones, Darrell Scott, Ricky Skaggs, Keith Whitley, Merle Travis, Gary Stewart, Joan Osborne, The Everly Brothers and The Osborne Brothers. I could name a lot more. These are just most of the ones who've had the biggest effect on my musical journey. To hear another great Kentucky band check out my neighbors, The Pokeberries. The video is a montage with 3 Pokeberries songs. th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=J7YjRDpd1rw
I like the names I recognize, I'll have to check out Chris Knight.
I was turned onto Tyler's music by another Chris Knight fan. Just click on my moniker. It will take you to one of my favorite Chris Knight songs, "Down The River". It puts me to the mind of Tyler's "Banded Clovis". Chris's brother, Dirk, told me many years ago he knew Chris was going to make it in country music when Chris first played him "Down The River". Other Chris Knight songs you may want to check out for a start are "Little Victories" with John Prine, "Rural Route", "Becky's Bible", "Leaving Souvenirs", "Me And This Road", "It Ain't Easy Being Me", "Crooked Road", "William" or either of his versions of "Old Man".
Thanks for the recommendations.
I believe I could listen to this man sing the phonebook. He pours himself and his soul into every word.
Thank you NPR for introducing me to such an incredible artist.
Dig deeper
oh my gosh, his face is so sweet when he's singing Lady May - love to see people truly in love!
I feel like there was a big period where country almost seemed lost... but recently Childers and others are creating a fresh new sound that is attracting people who would never really give the genre a chance. Quality music. Love it.
This is gorgeous. I've taken about 25 listens to finally comment and I still have nothing profound to say other than this is simply gorgeous. Thank you Tyler.
That voice....
Its haunting
Heard a voice like that once....
Watched him bleed out.....
It's the voice of everything in him....
Like it won't be heard again.
He sounds exactly like his songs do, wow.
Check out his “our vinyl” it’s great
He’s the real deal 😎
Still go to in2024. 6 yrs ago I lived that song in southern Oregon ❤
Could listen to him all day, every day....and sometimes I do lol
kadmck On RE-PEAT since I found him a month ago.
Same man. I literally can’t get enough
When I listen to Tyler Childers, so do the neighbors ;)
Indeed
THATS ALL I GET?! Dude I could listen to Tyler Childers for HOURS.
and this venue is just amazing!!!
It doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I can't listen to Lady May without feeling deep emotions. Thanks for sharing that piece of your soul with us Tyler.
Most will never truly knows what it really means, to have The Holler in your voice. Tyler has it. Its rare to see it as pure as this. Amazing.
His guitar playing is stellar. The strumming patterns are pretty sweet.
Showed this to my step son.. He said what's this?.. I said DAMNIT boooy real country!!
That first song gives me goosebumps every time.
Sometimes I feel like a talented musician and songwriter. Hearing this guy play is not one of those times.
What a pretty line, “put your toes down in the water, and a smile upon your face, and tell me that you love me, lovely lady May”
He gives me chills every time I hear him.
I love that he messed his own lyrics up in nose on the grindstone and I’ve watched this video easily 20 times and I just now caught it
Dude, this guy is finally getting the exposure he deserves. Pure Americana, writing hillbilly anthems one after the other. Timeless stuff.
We need an acoustic album from this guy.
Yes
Absolutely!
Literally from the second he opened his mouth I was a fan....
his smile while singing lady may 💌i hope everyone gets to feel that kind of love in their lives
Speaks to my Appalachian soul. Pure talent.
I love how he holds back a smile and fails to hide that first one when he sings Lady May, I bet he’s thinking about his lady. :)
He makes all us Kentucky folk proud! Keep it up brother
Shae Ellis West Virginia too
Never seen Tyler play this fast beat ,own every single album he’s ever put out.Usually plays a little slower .What a talented man 💚Love from Montana .Have not gone one single day in the last year without listening to one of his songs .Healing sounds
7:38 I'm baptized in your name. The way he looked at the camera, seemed he was looking right at the lady he wrote this after. Good stuff man I felt that to my soul.
His wife Senora May another kentucky artist
I discovered Tyler a couple months ago...what a gem. Story telling at its best
I want to Thank Sonora's Parents for raising such a wonderful daughter that so many wonderful songs that have been written about her.. you can tell Tyler Loves her.
Im from Europe where country isn’t really listened much. But Chris Stapleton and now this fella ;-) got me focused on this Music. Just wow
Losing my mom in August really crushed me.
I listen to the first song and put momma in the words instead of daddy, and instant tears. My mom always taught me to keep my nose to the grindstone and outta the pills. Miss you mamma.
You make us West Virginians proud man. Listen to you everyday, 304!
I was just recommending Tyler Childers to metal heads that also like Country. I've been listening to him a lot the last few months, this performance is a good reason why.
bryan macneil he’s the Kurt kobaine of Kentucky
I can't deny listening to Devin Townsend and switching to Tyler Childers then Hank Senior and then losing myself in Jazz. But I am awesome, so it may not apply to everyone.
Who? I couldn’t hear you over the sound of Appalachia.
How do people dislike this it give me chills I freaking love my true country music
“And I fell a good long way” what a lyric....
Everything is with emotion. This talent is going to be everywhere soon. I will be sad because it feels like it belongs to just 3 thousand of us for now
this is real country, which means i can listen to it
not like that country pop crap that saturates every "country" radio station
Check the Bo Burnham country song hahahhahaa
You mean those "songs" about how "it's Sayerdee night, been workin' all day, got a cooler in mah truck, an uh perdy little girl wearin' daisy dukes" written by a team of key word analysts in some corporate office in one of our coastal metropolitan areas? Yup, I'm with you.
this is country? i thought i hated country
you'll like Joshua Hedley then
Kevin Cowell
Beautifully said.
The pain and joy in his voice is literally haunting...
I hear my pops speaking to me through this music. He worked hard his whole life to make sure his two sons had a better chance then he did.
By far my favorite country music artist
I just found this guy. What kind of rock have I been living under?
GorillaPHX I’m just glad you found him! He’s a gem! He loves West Virginia and I’m proud to claim him! GO HERD
22nd Winter is pure gold.
CT522 my favorite but good God he has so many classics
I just read that as "Secondy second winter" what the hell is wrong with me? 😂
I remember when I first heard this tiny desk, it was the first time I heard Tyler and man I was in for a treat! He is such a powerful songwriter, his lyrics are so heartfelt and the tone in his voice conveys raw emotion in an incredible way. The three songs here contrast beautifully. Nose on the Grindstone hits so hard and speaks the voice of thousands, while 22nd Winter is so descriptive and uplifting. Lady May is just incredibly sweet and you can really feel the love he has for her in the words and the expressions on his face while thinking about the words he is singing. This man can write songs like no one else and the world should be ashamed that his name isn’t in every household!
Tyler your voice comes in and touches my heart, I can't explain it but I feel it. Really beautiful. And the lyrics....wow!!! Thank you for sharing your talents!
Truly breathtaking. Music is magic. Thank you, Tyler and Tiny Desk. ❤
This is why I love TDC. I can put the playlist on shuffle and after a handful of skips I come across a gem like this. I never in a million years would've found this on my own.
The LOVE that he sings Lady May with gives me shivers. Wow.
Best of the best right here...GOD BLESS Tyler Childers and Sturgil SImpson.....
22nd winter is one that I wish got more love. Still coming back here 5 years later 😆
Just saw him in concert. He and his band are incredible
This is amazing. I didn't quite expect this
Ali Idris he is phenomenal
Exactly my thoughts the first time I say him live.
Ain't it always the best way to find treasures
No kidding! Whoever said gingers have no soul had never heard Tyler Childers!😂
I’m late to this party, but am on the fast track to catch up! I heard him at a friends house a few weeks ago and haven’t stopped listening since. Truly addictive for us Americana lovers; but it’s more than that. Childers is one of the really special ones. His voice conveys so much emotion and his lyrics are soooo good. Thank you, Tyler! I’m so happy to have something new that I’ll play FOREVER! ❤️
Tyler Childers I'm just a country boy from Texas where we're know for being big. Whether it be badasses or big heart. You hit me in my big heart and I appreciate it. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep on keepin' on.
This beautiful angel named Brooke recommended tyler to me. Music really is a heavenly gift
He has that high and lonesome voice that bluegrass music requires. He is one of the best in music today, across all genres.
I understand that reference :D
@@zjkerrRobert Earl Keen, one of my all time favorites.
His song writing skills are grade a top choice meat
One of those Kentucky artists that showing up even my proud Texas songwriting heritage for good storytelling. Even Texas music is drifting from good storytelling to "party country". Thanks Tyler for keeping songwriting true.
This breaks my heart for a number of reasons
saw him at ACL 2019 and am obsessed! absolutely love his voice and music!
I usually never comment in social media but this dude blows me away. I hope he and his get everything they want in life.
They should give him a bigger desk
Just found this dude, he has the spirit of a true legend. So humble and so soulful. The music speaks for itself and I will be a lifelong fan Tyler
He is so unbelievably good! This show was actually the first time i heard his music. Still my favorite live show of his.
I’ve always been rock music leaning but oh my god he is one of my favorite musicians now
this is some of the best songwriting and story telling, picture painting, soul warming music i've heard in several years!
It’s awesome but talk to me ab Eric Johnson
