Tyler Childers - It Ain't Easy Being Me (Chris Knight Cover)

[@braxtonvestal777]

After swearing off country music for 18 years. This man colter wall arlo mckinley and sturgill simpson brought me back. Thank you.

[@danbabinsky402]

Mike Hockhurts I haven’t listened to a country song since whiskey lullaby. Those 3 and John Moreland have completely changed my taste in music

[@MarkRiley12]

You need to check out Lost Dog, which is Benjamin Tod's and his wife Ashley's band. Just look into any and all things pertaining to Benjamin Tod, he has many and everything he touches is gold. You're welcome.

[@poeticlicensetokill]

Don't forget the originator of this tune!

[@libertyrebel91]

Chris Knight has kept it around for a while :)

[@ADAMGLLN]

try Ian Noe too. Another Kentucky songwriter with a great voice.

[@clarkprice1]

This cover is spectacular. I’d like to hear Tyler do a cover of “enough rope” by Chris Knight. I feel like he’d knock that out of the park.

[@BEASTMODEAKERS686]

Damn right!

[@BEASTMODEAKERS686]

Down the River , Hard Candy, Little Victories, I would love to hear them all by Tyler.

[@ADAMGLLN]

or pretty good guy. great song.

[@dwayneremillard4007]

Would love to see them tour together

[@shawnbair9030]

I would like him to cover old hank or to be honest, any country song.

[@Laylapreppyandpretty]

Everything he does is amazing, this and pink Floyd cover time, are perfection, I get chills every time.

[@Laylapreppyandpretty]

@Tyler Childers your one of the most if not the most amazing and talented musican I've ever listened to, your soul is one of a kind!

[@blomsomers]

Damn, Chris writes amazing songs; the delivery by Tyler on this one is a tribute to its weight.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Chris was my first introduction into modern underground country music. His discography can go pound to pound with any country musician that’s ever sung with a southern accent.

[@alexanderclambell9188]

I heard this back in his SoundCloud days and just NOW found it again. Jeez what a gem

[@toriewilson3090]

@Tyler Childers Such a wonderful rendition of an amazing song ; love Chris Knight. I have a posh English accent and an expensive education but none of that could express how I feel the way this song does .

Yall wanting Tyler to cover Chris's songs, Tyler has his own great tunes. Chris might consider covering Tyler sometime. I love both of em for sure

[@matthewbentley7779]

growing up in eastern ky chris was king and we all loved his music

[@Tycket]

I'm happy that Tyler did a cover on this to give CK some much needed attention. CK is the greatest singer of all time.

[@jeremyporter7561]

Hey Blake Shelton...... that's how you cover a Chris Knight song

[@drakeelias6404]

Chris knight has an extremely unique sound and singing style. I'm shocked at how easily Tyler covers this. What a great cover!

[@Tycket]

CK is the greatest country singer to ever live.

[@rylanyork7304]

Literally my two favorite singers!

[@adrianmiller6641]

Great cover! Tyler is awesome! That being said. Can't nobody do a Chris Knight song like Chris Knight.

[@BushMonkey10]

[@kevineaston4206]

Hope you're on to better things now sir!

[@cbruggeman25]

Chris knight is one of my top five of all time. Was so pissed I missed him in show the other month been listening to his stuff for 15 years now. Great cover with your own soul put into it Tyler.

[@daniellebell5761]

I stumbled across this very unusual talent. searching paid off/time well spent!

[@beckymcknight2286]

[@kristydavis5154]

John Daniels I actually played my mom this song when she said I was difficult and she didn't understand me. Here you go Mom! 🤣😉

[@Roosters-rants1977]

Such an amazing song and amazing version. I've never listened to this podcast but I don't think I could. The announcers voice and way he paused drives me insane. I couldn't imagine having a conversation with him lol

[@WBWalkersOldSoulRadioShow]

Joseph Pyron Well Hell.........I........ am...........sorry........😂

[@hv01519]

Thought I’d give this cover a try, didn’t think Tyler’s voice would go with it. I ain’t never been this wrong in my life.

[@kycountrymusicgirl]

Hunter Vargas my exact thoughts man. I thought that’ll never work but I was wrong and don’t wanna be right!

[@claireceowens3512]

Tyler is a breath of fresh air. His voice moves your soul. I seen him last year and he was mind blowing to say the least. Been listening to him for years.

[@Dallas-Rife-UDX-347-Tennessee]

I was born in Pike County , and I grew up in Mingo county as well 🤔🤔🤔 Left in 93 after I graduated high school , joined the Marines,, never went back. I go visit my folks a couple times a year , but it’s changed so much it depresses me

[@garrettzajicek7802]

Dallas Rife live in Nebraska and worked with a guy that moved his family here from eastern KY. Said he wanted to get his kids out of there. Damn shame it’s come to that

[@landonfussnecker3004]

[@mulletmanfishinnhuntin7760]

There ought to be a town somewhere Named for how I feel Yeah I could be the mayor down there And say ‘welcome to sorryville’ It wouldn’t be on a map no where You might say that it don’t exist But if you make enough wrong turns It’da be hard to miss There ought to a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline Walk on over to the other side Where I'd light a match Sit and stare through the smoke and flames and wonder how I'm gonna get back Why do I do the things I do? Was I born this way or am I self made fool? I shoot the lights and I curse the dark I need your love but I break your heart And I know the words that’ll bring you back but But I don’t say nothing as I watch you pack I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be It ain’t easy being me There oughta be a side show "act" For freaks like me I could be the star of the show w/ my name on the marquee In a room with a big red button that says ‘danger do not touch’ Twice a day I'd mash it down and you can watch me self-destruct Why do I do the things I do Was I born this way or am I self made fool I shoot the lights and I curse the dark I need your love but I break your heart And I know the words that’l bring you back but I don’t say nothing as I watch you pack I had to work to become the jerk i’ve come to be It ain’t easy being me It ain’t easy being me

[@anotherguy1849]

[@tristennew7969]

Damn I always revisit these recordings and I always am in awe of Tyler’s raw talent, but I’m also always bothered by the hosts cadence. Nobody talks like that lol, it feels very performative and impersonal, which really clashed with Tyler’s reservation in conversation and his powerful singing,

[@johnlunsford7009]

If my ship were to set sail and float away in the paper with a picture under my name This just in John messed it up again Even if I did it right I’d still find a way The unfortunate story of my life Like a sad song stuck on replay Don’t matter how hard I try to change It ain’t easy living this way You’re damn right we’re not the same It takes time to deal with pain But sometimes there sunshine in the rain Chills down my spine when I hear my song play This world made me wise and I’m 23
