You can’t accuse Tyler Childers <\/a>of being lyrically boring.<\/p>\n Kentucky’s own hillbilly poet returned last Friday with his new album,\u00a0Snipe Hunter<\/em>, a project that feels like his most accessible yet to a mainstream country audience.<\/p>\n The\u00a0album features live fan-favorites that he’s been performing for years \u2014 including a much-clamored-for studio recording of “Nose on the Grindstone” \u2014 as well as a song that seemingly lays out a thesis statement to explain his longtime social media hashtag, “Eatin’ Big Time.”<\/p>\n Snipe Hunter<\/em> also sheds light on the life and interests of an artist who’s long been one of country music’s most enigmatic performers.<\/p>\n He sings of Indian landmarks, koala bears with sexually transmitted diseases, snake delicacies and hunting tips in this rollicking, humor-filled body of work.<\/p>\n That doesn’t do anything to downplay his artistic eccentricities. But it does provide a cohesive musical identity for an artist who’s long toed the line between underground and superstardom, traditionalism and experimentation, and who once declared the Americana genre “purgatory” \u2014 a reference to his\u00a0Purgatory\u00a0<\/em>album \u2014 during a thorny acceptance speech<\/a> at the 2018 Americana Music Honors & Awards ceremony.<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: 10 Essential Tyler Childers Songs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n His career has included an album of fiddle tunes, a gospel project done three ways and a song release aimed directly at injustice and civil unrest (“Long Violent History”).<\/p>\n But through it all, one thing Childers has always been is a stellar, one-of-a-kind lyricists. His words are stark and unexpected, hilarious and biting, usually all at once.<\/p>\n That’s a trend he continues \u2014 and even amplifies \u2014 on his newest project. Keep reading for the wildest, wackiest and most downright unhinged lyrics on the singer’s\u00a0Snipe Hunter<\/em> album.<\/p>\n “He worked with words \/ The thing is, words work funny<\/em>,” Tyler Childers sings in “Cuttin’ Teeth,” one of the songs on his 2025 Snipe Hunter<\/em> album. <\/p>\n Childers has long been recognized as a colorful, thoughtful lyricist, but on his newest project, he has outdone himself.
