Stack
- Country Squire is full of twangin’ guitars and mountain fiddle, country, honky tonk and bluegrass. Childers sings of life on the road and his love at home, while offering a glimpse of the life of a Kentucky boy.

The Boot
There's a bit of sonic experimentation on Country Squire, but Childers and producers Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson keep it pretty country. Gorgeous fiddle lines run throughout the project, with a hint of the psychedelic dropped in there every so often.

All Music
A connective narrative may be elusive to find on Country Squire, but Childers is a sly storyteller, a gift that threatens to be overshadowed by the robust realization of his songs.

Vinyl Me Please
Country Squire is a stunning achievement of form, a modern John Prine album delivered by a son of Appalachia for the sons of Appalachia.

“Country Squire” was produced by Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson, the same duo Childers worked with on the earlier album. The sound takes traditional Appalachian instruments — and it’s the fiddle-playing and Childers’ plaintive singing that plant this album most firmly in the mountains — and amps them up in unexpected ways.

Think Country Music
Tyler Childers’ scratchy, throaty and very affecting voice defies his young age of 28. He really does pack an impressive array of subject matter into these nine tracks
