Show notes

This week the boys are joined by Kenny DeForest (@kennydeforest, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Late Late Show) to talk about the gruff yet poetic songs of Tyler Childers. Specifically, we focus on "All Your'n," one of his catchiest tunes (and with a very psychedelic video). We also talk Childers' incredible ability to capture struggle, debauchery, and love through his poetic lyrics, and how he made a protest album with almost no words sung.
