With a few exceptions (Johnny Cash, mostly, and then only some songs) I am not into country music. Yet I absolutely love this song by Tyler Childers (from eastern Kentucky, unsurprisingly) and have been listening to it regularly for months – and even more often find the opening lines (“Back before birthdays were something she dreads / Back before children had settled her friends”) randomly popping up into my head and even start to sympathize with Childers as he tries Oneida to fall for him. (It’s really this song only: I’ve tried more of his songs and they were all pretty meh.)
