Singer-songwriter Tyler Childers has announced his forthcoming album Country Squire. It’s out August 2 via Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records, and features production by country artist Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson. Childers has also shared the LP’s lead single “House Fire,” which arrives with an accompanying music video. Check it out below.
Country Squire marks the second studio album from Childers, following his 2017 debut Purgatory (also produced by Simpson and Ferguson). The new album was recorded at the Butcher Shoppe in Nashville, and features instrumentation from Stuart Duncan, Miles Miller, and Russ Pahl. Of the the new record, Childers said in a press release: “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.”
Childers will embark on an extensive tour supporting the album this fall. Find his full itinerary here, and scroll down for Country Squire’s tracklist.
