Tyler Childers’ new album “Purgatory” (which would be a better title for the last five U2 albums) is produced by Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson, and RS Country premiered the track below yesterday. They describe it as blending “that ethereal, off-kilter edge of bluegrass with Seventies country and an analog, Southern rock slant… and lyrics that dig deep into the struggle to dull the pain of life in rural America.” Purgatory is out August 4th on Hickman Holler Records via Thirty Tigers.

Back in the day Tyler and I made a live one-off-the-cuff claw hammer banjo (me) and slide guitar (him) of Anarchy. Done at the Blue Dragon Coffee House (nowdefunct) in Albuquerque. Check it out. Ps Glen Mtlock and his band dig it. https://www.reverbnation.com/richkrueger/song/9586034-anarky-in-the-usa
