He’s still playing for drunk college kids, but now there’s a WHOLE lot more of them not just going to see Tyler, but paying to see him! Congratulations Tyler!

[@meredithwilliams4671]

I'm no college kid, I'm a 47 year old woman who's going to see him in WV in May. :) Best musician and songwriter I've heard in 20 years.

[@greglucero8714]

20 years ago, who was as good? I think it's been longer than that. I only listen to old ( pre 1990) country but now since I like Mr. Childers I guess I'm a new county fan. When before I was a metal head

[@Kickstart500]

Greg Lucero did you and Meredith miss Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell? Sturgill produced Tyler’s record that boosted him big time.. love all these guys work

[@annemaassen5576]

I'm 64 and I have heard and seen many many musicians. This guy is going to be a legend. His lyrics are brilliant. He is playing in St Louis at the end of October at The Stifel Theatre and the tickets are resale only and the prices are astronomical. $300+ for good seats. Cheapest nosebleeds are $84.

Andrew Stricklin have you heard Tyler’s “new” album? No songs sound like him.. it’s all over produced. Once the industry sees money they change you no matter who.. even Tyler has sold out. Had him in a dress on his first video wearing skinny jeans...They all do it.

Lyrics: Well call up the reverend, won't you get him up here now That old gal won't get to work till every head is bowed We got new copper wire, she's lookin pretty nice We can't start the courting till we take it up with christ So Pray o'er the moonshine still Pray that money runs through them hills We'll strike gold if it's your will Just pray o'er the moonshine still Well momma needs a may tag and the babies all need shoes But at the rate that we are goin we'll never see the blues Our corporations boomin we're known both near and far But if we're going to reach the masses we're gonna have to buy a car So Pray o'er the moonshine still Pray that money runs through them hills We'll strike gold if it's your will Just pray o'er the moonshine still They say that I'm a sinner they say I'm bound for hell But I know every baptist boy, and I know em very well So if I don't reach glory, If I ride that long black train Well I'll be in good company, sippin moonshine all the way So Pray o'er the moonshine still Pray that money runs through them hills We'll strike gold if it's your will Just pray o'er the moonshine still

[@lolthatshilarious5602]

Been looking for the lyrics everywhere ! I figured it all out about the 3rd or 4th listen through, but I really just wanted to be sure he was saying "start the courting". I was 99% sure he was saying courting, so thanks for solidifying that for me !

I find the circumstance heart breaking.) Johnny Cash. Merle. Kris Kristopherson Waylon Jennings. I believe he can give Chris Stapleton a run for his money. I know it sounds like I'm his mama.
