Concurrently,
Country Squire arrives atop Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, another
first for Childers. On the all-genre Billboard 200
Produced by Sturgill
Simpson and David Ferguson, the album was recorded at The Butcher
Shoppe in Nashville and consists of nine new tracks.
In addition to Childers (vocals,
acoustic guitar), the album features a number of world-renowned musicians
including Stuart Duncan (fiddle, mandolin, banjo),
Miles Miller (drums,
background vocals) and Russ Pahl (acoustic guitar,
electric guitar, pedal steel, Jaw harp, baritone).
Of the mission behind the album,
Childers comments, “I hope that people in the area that I grew up in
find something they can relate to.
I hope
that I’m doing my people justice and I hope that maybe someone from somewhere
else can get a glimpse of the life of a Kentucky boy.”

The release of Country
Squire continues a series of breakout years for the Kentucky-native in
America, whose critically acclaimed debut album, Purgatory, was
released in 2017.
The record—also produced by
Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson—landed on multiple “Best of..” lists
including NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Noisey, The Bluegrass
Situation, Wide Open Country and The Boot.
Of the album, NPR Music raves “the intimacy he conjures is his gift, in this
private moment made universal, and throughout his remarkable official debut,” while Pitchfork declares “it’s his voice, peppered with both the
knowledge of the ages and the innocence of youth, that makes a song…so
effective. Then it’s the lyrics, a mix of plain-talk honesty and beguiling
metaphors, that tip the scales to timeless.”
Since his debut, Childers was
named “Emerging Artist of the Year” at the 2018 Americana
Music Association Honors & Awards and has been
featured on NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series and Anthony
Bourdain: Parts Unknown. Additionally, he’s toured extensively
across the world including over 130 sold-out headline shows as well as multiple
datessupporting John Prine and Margo Price.
