Tyler Childers has announced a new album, Rustin’ In The Rain, due September 8 via Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records (pre-order). “This is a collection of songs I playfully pieced together as if I was pitching a group of songs to Elvis,” Tyler says. “Some covers, one co-write, and some I even wrote in my best (terrible) Elvis impersonation, as I worked around the farm and kicked around the house. I hope you enjoy listening to this album as much as I enjoyed creating it. Thank you. Thank you very much.”
The first single is the ballad “In Your Love,” which comes with a music video that was written and creative directed by Silas House, the first openly gay Kentucky Poet Laureate, and it tells a love story between two men in 1950s rural Appalachia. Silas says:
As a gay teenager who loved country music, I could have never imagined seeing myself in a video. That visibility matters. There have always been LGBTQ people in rural places and finally we’re seeing that portrayed in a country music video. Tyler and I both felt the attention to detail about rural life was very important, so we made sure that the house and the people looked realistic for the time period instead of the stereotypes of country people that have become so ingrained in the public consciousness. We used our own family pictures as references. We wanted to tell as complex a story as we could in four minutes, not only about a gay couple, but also about rural people. We wanted to show their joy and their sorrow—all the things that make up a complex life. Too often simplistic notions are pushed about both rural and LGBTQ people, so we did everything we could to make this story as rich and layered as possible.
