Available at Bennies Fifties and the online Fifties Store

Discover the remarkable musical world of American country singer-songwriter Tyler Childers with his outstanding album Snipe Hunter. Released on July 25, 2025, this seventh studio album demonstrates why Childers has become one of the most exciting and influential voices in contemporary country and Americana. With his distinctive vocals, compelling storytelling and extraordinary blend of country, bluegrass, folk, Americana and roots rock, Childers creates music that feels deeply traditional yet refreshingly original.

For Snipe Hunter, Tyler Childers joined forces with legendary producer Rick Rubin, whose impressive career includes collaborations with Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Black Keys. Rubin encouraged Childers to explore new musical directions while preserving the authenticity and emotional honesty that define his songwriting. The result is an adventurous album that combines traditional country influences with unexpected rhythms, spiritual themes and experimental arrangements.

The album features thirteen songs written entirely by Tyler Childers, including the powerful opening track “Eatin' Big Time”, the energetic “Cuttin' Teeth” and longtime fan favourite “Oneida”, which finally receives an official studio recording. Other highlights include “Nose On The Grindstone”, “Bitin' List” and “Getting To The Bottom”. These recordings demonstrate Childers' extraordinary range, moving effortlessly between raw, energetic country music and intimate, emotionally charged storytelling.

The second record continues the musical journey with songs including “Down Under”, “Poachers”, “Snipe Hunt” and the spiritually inspired “Tirtha Yatra”. Childers' expressive vocals, thoughtful lyrics and the exceptional musicianship of his band The Food Stamps make Snipe Hunter a richly rewarding listening experience that reveals new details with every play.

This edition is presented as a double LP on classic black vinyl, with the complete thirteen-track album spread across four sides. Its warm analogue presentation makes it an excellent addition to any collection of modern country and Americana.

Essential listening for fans of Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, John Prine, Jason Isbell and authentic American roots music.
