Tyler Childers is nominated for five awards at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards: Best Country Album (Rustin’ In The Rain), Best Country Song (“In Your Love”), Best Country Solo Performance (“In Your Love”), Best Music Video (“In Your Love”) and Best Americana Performance (“Help Me Make It Through the Night”). The awards ceremony will broadcast live on CBS from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena Sunday, February 4 at 8:00pm ET.
The nominations add to yet another landmark year for Childers, whose acclaimed new album, Rustin’ In The Rain, debuted at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart earlier this fall with 38,500 equivalent units sold—a career-high sales week for Childers (Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records, stream/purchase here).
The record features seven tracks including the breakthrough lead single, “In Your Love,” which debuted alongside an official music video earlier this summer. Since then, it has garnered over 7.4 million video views and 30 million on-demand streams along with acclaim from outlets such as NPR Music, Billboard, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Consequence, The Advocate, OUT and Rolling Stone, who praises, “the music video of compassion and caring we need right now,” while USA Today calls the video “a much-needed portrait of inclusivity.” Watch/share the video—written/creative directed by Silas House, and starring Colton Haynes and James Scully—HERE and “The Making of ‘In Your Love’,” a special behind-the-scenes look at the video HERE.
Continuing to receive critical attention, Childers recently spoke with The New York Times, who praises, “His songs with roots in bluegrass, Southern rock and Appalachian tradition have pushed the boundaries of country music and even his own fan base, while cementing him as one of the most successful touring and streaming artists in his field—without the aid of radio,” and continues, “when he sings live, his eyes burn with the ferocity of a preacher, and fans hang on to every word.”
In celebration of the new music, Childers will kick off his “Mule Pull ’24 Tour” early next year, which includes stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden (two nights), Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (two nights), Inglewood’s Kia Forum, Chicago’s United Center, Boulder’s Folsom Field, Washington State’s Gorge Amphitheatre, Austin’s Moody Center and Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena as well as shows in the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Norway and more. See below for complete itinerary.
Recorded at Dragline Studios, the album was produced by Childers and his longtime band, The Food Stamps—James Barker (pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitar), Rodney Elkins (drums), Chase Lewis (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle).
The new album follows last year’s triple album, Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?, which featured eight songs presented in three distinct sonic perspectives—Hallelujah, Jubilee and Joyful Noise. Released to widespread acclaim, Esquire praised, “Who’s doing it better than Childers in roots music these days? No one,” while the Associated Press declared, “fearless exuberance…one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” and NPR Music asserted, “eight songs so good he had to record them thrice.” Before Hounds, Childers released 2020’s Grammy-nominated surprise album, Long Violent History, which NPR Music called an “explicit and remarkable stand in solidarity.” His two previous releases, 2019’s #1 Country Squire as well 2017’s RIAA Platinum debut, Purgatory, were released to overwhelming critical and commercial acclaim. In the years since his debut, Childers has earned two Grammy nominations and has been featured on “CBS This Morning,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series and “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.”
