Tyler's lyrics are so powerful, but watching his facial expressions as he sings them takes them to a whole other dimension. I'm seeing him live for the first time in June at Summerfest and I hope they have some big-ass monitors so I can watch his facial expressions!

Tyler's new song and video "Angel Band" is stellar.

Easter egg alert at 5:25 - "They knew not his name and he knew not their faces.." Both lyrics (to the word) and chords from the Stanley Brothers classic "Rank Stranger". About a man who comes back home and discovers all the people he knew had passed away. Tyler Childers just became a hero if mine.

I wish I could see what Tyler sees while he’s singing. The look in his eyes and the expression on his face makes you wonder what one’s imagination can really hold. He goes somewhere else entirely when he performs.

as a forever learning guitar player, i can at least say that personally i don’t see anything when i close my eyes and i’m taken to that place. the best i can explain it is all your senses are joining together and the only thing i see/hear/feel and even taste and smell is the color or energy of the song you’re balls deep in.

I was at this concert. Made me a lifelong Childers fan. Crowd absolutely loved him.

The word you were looking for was "Nashville Pop". Thanks for bringing attention to the Eastern Kentucky boys.

That little interlude at about 9:50 just floors me, what an incredible fiddle line…

Those eyes are super focused. He’s all in!

Tyler Childers, good for the soul

You reinstated my ability to FEEL ....I didn't think I had the ability to be moved until I found your videos ...I'm not trying to be overly dramatic but I owe YOU for helping me drop my defenses and looking the man in the mirror as tears fall from eyes that haven't in 15 yrs....I won't bore you with my feelings of inadequacy and agoraphobia etc...you are much more than a guitar teacher YOU are literally saving lives....👏

My favorite Tyler Childers tune is the one i am having the privilege of listening at the time…They are all great.

Spent a lifetime hating on bluegrass. Then, bout 3 years ago, I clicked on a live song that the title gotten me curious. Ever since then I’ve been totally obsessed with his music & cannot explain why.

They released a video called Tyler Childers reimagined where he does a version of this song with just his acoustic and his fiddle player. He also tells the origin story of writing it. That version knocks on the door of just about as perfect as a song can be. Incredible vocal performance added to great instrumentals and all time great writing. It is worth the few minutes it takes to check it out. You can thank me later.

I fell madly in love with Tyler Childers during that very Farm Aid concert. His voice gives me goosebumps. Since coming across your video though I have to admit I’ve developed quite a crush on you too😍!!

Tyler Childers is today’s best singer. I wonder when the world is going to notice that. And I am a songwriter.

The simplicity of the music, complexity of the lyrics, the delivery of the message…I love seeing a songwriter belting it out from his soul. You can see in his facial expression that he wants everyone to GET the message he wants to put forth. I love your observation, Michael, of “confidence in his calmness”. Keep up the great work brother!

Dang where he get that growl? I been on Tyler from the jump and that there is progress at it's finest . Real music is finally making a comeback and for that I am very grateful .a wordsmith with a Ozark howl ...who would have thought . Love it , love it, love it. And a fiddle and a harmonica are a couple of the only instruments that blend harmony over guitar like that simply gorgeous.

Man I love seeing such high praise thrown on Tyler and my friends in his band. They work their asses off and it’s wonderful seeing so much praise for them. Love your videos.

He did a good duo cover of John Anderson’s “Shoot Low Sheriff “ on the Opry stage few weeks ago for a tribute to John.

Tyler sings with his eyes. Idk how else to explain it, but it damn sure works. If this is the future of country music, hell we are in great hands...

This is probably my favorite song by him right now, arguably my favorite overall right now. Mainly because shit it's Tyler and his voice. But also because of how and when this song was created. He actually wrote it sitting in a bar while being stranded in Chicago. So when I listen to its such a visual piece.....also like you said, his band is awesome. It's a perfect match.

“Some people are just on a trajectory and misery loves company” perfect explanation.

So glad to find someone who understands Tyler on this level He makes me laugh through my tears. Laugh with delight because AUTHENTIC is still out there on the stage. Rage on Tyler.

He wrote this song when he got lost in Chicago... Didn't have cell service and wrote it in a bar while he waited on a call back. Crazy stuff

Love Tyler. Creeker is consistently by far his best live performance imo. Just incredible vocals.

Ive been listening to Tyler for 2 or 3 years now. Whether he's doing a solo thing with just him and an acoustic or he's got his full band, it's all great. I'm really liking the new record. The song 'Way of the Triune God' is probably my favorite. It's got this gospel stomp thing going on that hits my ear just right. Great vid Mike!

Tyler had a flight land early in Chicago and his phone was dead. His buddy wasn’t supposed to pick him up for a few more hours. He waited at a bar and hated the city so much that he wrote this while waiting on his friend

Been one of my favorites by him for a couple years. Heard it for the first time while hunting actually lol. The neighboring property was quite close and dude was blasting it from his porch lol. Didn’t kill anything, but got a new favorite song.

just saw tyler at healing appalachia. so good live

That smirk Tyler gives after the word "tendin'" is what pure country gold actually looks like! Thanks for this one.

He did a version of old country church during this same concert “healing Appalachia” in lewisburg, WV and it was absolutely electric. I loved the whole concert

if you get a chance check out his video "purgatory" from the creek sessions. i feel it's some of his best guitar playing.

Thanks for this video Michael. Check out "Gas Well" by Charles Wesley Godwin- Great tune. I know you did "Seneca Creek" a while ago, but I'd really like to see a breakdown of this song. Thanks.

More Childers!

What a great explanation of Tyler and his band! I will listen with more intent going forward. I’ve been a fan for a while but have never seen them live.

Favorite Childers song. So much passion. Thanks for covering.

He’s one of a kind no doubt I’ve been lucky enough to be introduced to him and he was so down to earth. We all knew way back then he was gonna be something special. He remembered my name after seeing him again years later and you know he’s met his fair share of faces I was absolutely floored that he actually remembered me at all he called me by name when I stepped up in line to buy one of the limited (120)early releases of purgatory a month before the major release . The food stamps are always so tight!!

A little late but thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed it man, I love this song. Can't wait for Tyler's new album on Friday 🙌🏻

Tyler forces you to FOCUS. I assume most everyone listening to this knows the story behind Tyler and how this particular song came to be. It is incredibly heartfelt, fascinating and relatable. Check it out please, if you don't. Michael have you done "Follow You To Virgie" yet ? P.S. On October 11, 2022 local Kentucky boys Tyler, Chris Stapleton and Dwight Yoakam staged a benefit for Kentucky's flood victims - Kentucky Rising. Peace and Good Day !

I was there last year!! They were so great at the performance

Not a country fan at all but can’t get enough Tyler…should check out his cover of Floyd it’s a short video but he does an amazing version of time.

Please react to Kent Nishimura's cover of 25 or 6 to 4 and Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? These are insane fingerstyle covers with the way he is able to get all of the melody and solos in.

Baller reaction Michael. That fact that you said the same thing I said makes me think I might know something…. Lol

I was just thinking it’d been a while since you did some Childers. You gotta to Her and The Banks from Red Rocks.

I love Childers. But, I really love that PRS. There is just something about the tone that guitar creates. Beautiful. And when you say modern country, you mean pop country. The stuff that gets jammed down our throats on the radio with snap tracks.

You’ve got to do can I take my hounds to heaven.

Bigtime “That’s How I Got to Memphis” feel on the hook. Also you gotta react to him performing “Greatest Story Ever Told”

Please oh please do a Charley Crockett song! He does alot of older covers and they are amazing as well as his own incredible music!

You should react to Dead and Company Sugar Magnolia live from Folsom Field, Boulder, CO. 7/14/18. I think it’s one of dead and company’s best sugar magnolias and Mayer is so good at sitting in the song.

Great job with this Michael! Really appreciate what you do man!!

You mentioned his onstage demeanor, and how he just does the tune without too much ……he’s not very demonstrative…..!! The late Roy Buchanan was a gifted guitarist….I mean a real animal…..!! When he played Jimmy Hendrix’s “Hey Joe” or whatever else he played, he was so cool….!! He used to sing a verse, do a screaming nearly impossible lead break, and he would casually step up to the mic and sing the next verse like nothing had happened…!! He was the coolest….!!

Michael, Tyler’s new album just dropped today and I’ve never seen an album quite like it. It’s 24 tracks, but it’s the same 8 songs produced in 3 different ways. The 1st 8 tracks are the ‘Hallelujah Version’ the next 8 are the ‘Jubilee Version’ and the last 8 are the ‘Joyful Noise Version’. I just started listening to it and am having trouble figuring out how to approach it. Do I listen to the 1st 8, then the second 8, and then the 3rd 8? Or do I listen to all 3 versions of the same song back to back to back to compare them? While trying to decide I asked myself… “what would Michael do?” I’ve settled on listening to it straight through (tracks 1-24) as it was intended to be heard. Then I plan to go back and listen to all 3 versions of each song together. I’d absolutely love to hear your breakdown of 3 different versions of any of the songs. Angel Band was the 1st single off the Album but all of them are good at this point. Your analysis always adds so much to songs for me. You pick up on little things I never would have. Note: some of the songs on the album he has been playing live for years and the 3 album versions are way different than the original live performances- ‘Purgatory’ ‘Take My Hounds to Heaven’ Very different takes on these 2 songs.

You should listen to Tylers new song “Way of the Triune God” it’s so amazing and i know you would like it, his new album is all about how he’s happy and stuff now because he’s sober know and not so much is going wrong in his life

I'm a late comer to Tyler's music but I'm all in now.

When someone says.. explain “soul music”.. you Aretha, you get Al Green, and you get Tyler Childers

Do you have a video where you go over gear and tones you use? Sorry if I've missed it! All the best!

I feel like Tyler Childers is the Chester Bennington of "country" music, and I mean that in the most complimentary way

Has Michael reacted to any Jim Croce songs yet?

Man. If I knew you irl... I would introduce you to the Fiddle/Guitar player. I think Jesse would be a good interview for you. He's the Professor for a reason.
