Tyler Childers - Snipe Hunter [2 LP, Black Vinyl]

Released in 2024, Snipe Hunter finds Tyler Childers continuing to expand his creative range while staying rooted in the Kentucky storytelling tradition that brought him national acclaim. This 2 LP set on black vinyl captures an artist at the peak of his songwriting powers, weaving Appalachian imagery with modern themes in a way that feels both grounded and exploratory. Following the genre-blending direction of Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?, this record balances the spiritual, the mythic, and the deeply personal across a cinematic tracklist.

Musically, Snipe Hunter blends country, folk, and Americana with subtle infusions of gospel, psychedelic tones, and old-time instrumentation. “Song While You're Away” delivers emotional weight with its plaintive vocal and stripped-down arrangement, while “In Your Love” stands as one of Childers’ most powerful ballads to date. “Percheron Mules” brings a rhythmic stomp and poetic lyricism that encapsulates the album’s rugged charm. Throughout, his voice remains unmistakable—raw, resonant, and rich with conviction.

This black vinyl edition is spread across two LPs and housed in a beautifully illustrated gatefold jacket, offering rich visual storytelling alongside the music. Pressed with care for warm, clear playback, the album’s analog character enhances the intimacy and ambiance of the recordings. Whether you're drawn to Tyler Childers' lyrical depth or his fearless genre fusion, this pressing is a worthy addition to any Americana or folk collection.
