Tyler Childers Releases Experimental Album Snipe Hunter Nationwide

Tyler Childers, the Kentucky-born country-folk artist, released his seventh studio album, "Snipe Hunter," marking a bold artistic evolution with 13 tracks that blend Appalachian roots with experimental elements, including rock and spiritual influences. Produced by Rick Rubin, known for pushing creative boundaries, the album features fan favorites like "Nose on the Grindstone" and "Oneida," both previously performed live but now officially recorded, alongside new songs inspired by Childers' travels to India and Australia. Critics and fans have noted the album's genre-defying sound and reflective, wandering themes that mix traditional storytelling with innovative production. Childers continues to expand his reach following his Grammy-nominated 2023 album "Rustin’ in the Rain," and he is currently touring across the U.S. and U.K., with upcoming headline performances including Healing Appalachia in Ashland, Kentucky. The release has been accompanied by listening parties nationwide and music videos, such as for the opening track "Eatin’ Big Time," underscoring Childers' growing prominence in the Americana and country scenes. "Snipe Hunter" showcases Childers’ ability to honor tradition while challenging genre conventions through poetic lyrics and diverse musical influences.
