Tyler Childers “Purgatory” (Thirty Tigers 2018)

February 2, 2018 Keith Hargreaves 1
Building up a steady head of public interest, Tyler Childers follows his three singles of last year with his debut album co-produced by Sturgill Simpson no less. And it could well have been hewn from the […]

Interview: Dale Watson on “Unwanted” and the zen of pure country
