	Purgatory Colored Vinyl - New - HHR001-1 Sealed 2017 180gm Original On Standard Black Vinyl. "The Presence Of Sturgill Simpson As Producer Immediately Places Tyler Childers' 2017 Album Purgatory Within A Recognizable Lineage Of New Americana Singers. Simpson, Along With The Burlier Chris Stapleton, Are Torch-bearers For The Old Ways -- Old Ways That Became Codified In The '70s, When Country, Folk, String Bands, Western Swing, R&b, And Rock & Roll Bled Together In Styles Alternately Called Outlaw And Progressive Country. Childers Hails From Kentucky, The Same As Simpson, But Purgatory Often Sounds Like The Appalachian Mountains In How His High Lonesome Voice Ricochets Off Sawing Fiddles And Skipping Banjos. As A Simple Description, This May Sound Traditional But, In Practice, Purgatory Feels Fresh, Due Largely To How Childers -- Who Writes All Ten Songs Here -- Isn't Stuck In The Past; He's Viewing Everything Through The Prism Of The Present. His Purer String Tunes Bear Allusions To The Modern World, So When "Universal Sound" Opens With Echoed Guitar Lines That Mimic Synths, It Feels Of A Piece With The Rest Of The Record. Also, His Starker Moments -- Which Aren't Necessarily Plaintive, Either; They Can Be A Rave-up Like The Title Track -- Gain Resonance By Sitting Alongside Slow-crawling, Brawny Country-rock, The Two Sounds Feeling Neither Rebellious Nor Respectful But Rather Plain-spoken, Which Is A Nice Contrast To His Sly, Subtle Songs. It's An Album That Feels Lived-in, Filled With Songs Etched From Hard-earned Experiences With Music To Match." AMG Review By Stephen Thomas Erlewine. more
	Rustin' In The Rain Used - Vinyl - 19658-81138-1 2023 original pressed on indie exclusive neon green swirl vinyl. Includes 12x24 poster. Glossy, NM- vinyl. "Tightening his belt to deliver a record that runs less than a half-hour -- a considerable shift after 2022's triple-album Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven? -- Tyler Childers cuts away all the extraneous fat on Rustin' in the Rain, an album that's as succinct and resonant as an old '60s or '70s LP left to gather dust in a dollar bin. The connection to the past is intentional and apparent on Rustin' in the Rain: he takes the time to deliver a bruised cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night," a song that seemingly appeared on every other country album of the early '70s. At times, Childers does nod to the shaggy beginnings of '70s progressive country -- the title track gallops like a runaway steed -- but he's not beholden to the outlaw caricature that's calcified over the decades. He dabbles in scripture on "Luke 2: 8-19," finding space for Margo Price to play the role of an angel; he leads his Food Stamps band through a rolling, sunny groove on "Perchon Mules," and concludes the record with "Space & Time," a slow-burner that recalls the glory days of country-soul. Although each of these songs could be viewed as traditional from a certain angle, Childers's perspective and execution gives his music a freshness. This is a singer/songwriter whose honky tonk weeper is all about "Phone Calls and Emails" and decided to give "In Your Love," his sweetest ballad, a video depicting a romance between gay coal miners in the '50s: he's explicitly treating country music as a genre that evolves, one that can encompass all manners of stories by building upon what's already been laid at the foundation. With its empathetic heart and kinetic kick, Rustin' in the Rain illustrates how vibrant and vital that idea can be." All Music Guide - Stephen Thomas Erlewine more
	Snipe Hunter New - Vinyl - 19802-924341-1 Sealed 2025 2LP standard black vinyl pressing. Tri-fold jacket, custom hype sticker on shrink. Snipe Hunter moves with patience and purpose, Appalachian roots filtered through restraint and reflection. Childers lets songs unfold naturally, trusting space, phrasing, and lived-in detail over flash. The performances feel grounded and human, melodies carrying weight without raising their voice. Thoughtful, plainspoken, and quietly powerful, Snipe Hunter is a record that rewards listening close, country music shaped by honesty rather than posture. more
