Review
Let me tell you about Tyler Childers' 'Rustin' In The Rain'. This album is a real treat, y'all! It's like sitting on a porch swing with an old friend, swapping stories and sharing a bottle of bourbon. The title track kicks things off with a boogie-woogie beat that'll have you tapping your toes before you know it. It's got that juke-joint piano that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time, but Childers' modern storytelling keeps it fresh.
Now, I've got to mention the guest appearances on this album. Margo Price, Erin Rae, and S.G. Goodman lend their voices to tracks like 'Luke 2:8-10' and 'Space and Time', adding some beautiful harmonies that'll give you goosebumps. And speaking of 'Luke 2:8-10', that song is something else. Childers takes biblical scripture and weaves it into a tale about the end of the world that'll leave you thinking long after the last note fades.
Childers and his band, the Food Stamps, have crafted something special here. They've managed to bridge the gap between traditional country roots and contemporary sound, creating an album that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The cover of Kris Kristofferson's 'Help Me Make It Through the Night' is a standout, with Childers bringing a raw, emotional intensity to the classic. And let's not forget 'In Your Love', a tender ballad that's got everyone talking about its powerful music video. It's clear that Childers has a gift for telling stories that touch the heart and soul. - Tara
