“The album art on Tyler Childers’ latest LP, Country Squire, is unappealing to say the least. A cartoon Childers, looking like a cereal box version of a Hindu deity, extends eight arms into a black void, surrounded by four unfortunate creatures that can best be described as a fox, rooster, goblin and a blue woman in a ushanka hat. It’s weird, messy and seems better suited to a Pigeons Playing Ping”
“The native Kentuckian shows a flair for rough-hewn honky-tonk and piercing details on his latest release, produced by Sturgill Simpson.”
