Tyler Childers
Are you familiar with the country musician and singer Tyler Childers? This is an introduction if you are not familiar with him. I don't agree with everything that he has to say, but I think that he represents something good within country music, and hopefully among the people who listen most to country music. He is certainly controversial. The first video is Tyler Childers addressing some of what makes him controversial. I'm including a Black man's reaction to the music because of the controversies, although most of the criticism comes from other sources. I fully appreciate what he has on the line and how he keeps going and keeps giving back. It is no small matter that he is in recovery and is open about that because this sets such a good example for all of us. Beyond that, this is just good music.
