I'm really enjoying that Tyler Childers record. It took a few listens before I really bought into it but now I have.

"And if the women were squirrels, with them high bushy tails. I'd fill up my shotgun, with rocks, salt, and nails."

Lines like this left me not knowing which way to turn. I wasn't sure if it was naked honesty from a guy who was so willing to be honest both about how that felt and describing it as he really would versus how people would be more apt to accept it.

Or. If it was a young guy who was trying to sound more authentic or more..."country"? More hillbilly? Something.

I finally decided it was the former. Only a young guy or a much older person can write lines like that. Because youth affords you a certain level of naivete and age gives you enough perspective to not care whether or not people think it sounds sophisticated or too simplistic. I am surprised he is resonating the way he is. But I'm enjoying it.

I haven't heard any Tyler Childers songs, but that lyric is from the oft-covered "Rock, Salt & Nails" originally written by the Wobbly, Utah Phillips. Joe Ely does a great cover of it, too.

Cool.

I didn't even know they had a new one coming out until I saw everyone posting about it a few days ago.

It arrived today and I'm really liking the first listen.

When I's a boy
I’d drink and love and smoke and snort my fill
But all the while
I kept in mind the Lord’s redeeming grace
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the city where the heathens go
Catholic girl, pray for me
You’re my only hope for Heaven

Yep. Been awhile since I have listened to this in it's entirety. And it's nice to have Girls Who Smoke in the mix.

Turnpike Troubadours "The Housefire". First track off the new album (features the titular line).

These guys just keep getting better. I have half a mind to get drunk, stand on Isbell's coffee table, and tell him Evan Felker is the best songwriter around.

I don't know if I'm there yet, but I dang sure enjoy the last couple Turnpike records more than Jason's and by a pretty wide margin. Like you said, they keep getting better.
