It's Okay. I like it, I don't love it. I should have waited for the release to make my purchase. Several tunes I really like...O.d Country Church, Can I Take my Hounds to Heaven and Angel Band. His voice sounds amazing. Just not a fan of every song like on his previous albums. Still love me some TC!

Disappointed. I want to start out by saying Tyler is an incredible artist and has one of my favorite voices in music. I have LOVED all of his stuff up to this point. I was super excited to purchase this album, but… I honestly hated the sound. It’s not the content, because I love his writing. He’s a highly gifted lyricist and storyteller. But the musical arrangements feel bloated and over produced. His voice has to fight over the music to be heard and so much of what makes his artistry unique is buried behind so much noise. I don’t feel any emotion from any of the songs in this collection and some of my favorites from Purgatory were “reworked” until they are unrecognizable. I haven’t gone so far as to look at who was the producer of this one. Maybe that’s the problem, just a different vision for the music, but I hope Tyler will PLEASE go back to a more stripped down performance that allows us to actually feel his words and leave this over produced 1980’s hyper instrumentation to other artist who don’t have the same talent level and need more distractions in the work.

Horrible. Go back to Purgatory please.

Good Album by TC. Loved a lot about this album. Definitely harkens back to old school Gospel music and the experience of growing up in church. His cover of “Old Country Church” and “Way of the Triune God” are my favs. Disagreed theologically on “Angel Band”, but I hope he sees that despite the imperfection of people (esp. Christians), Christ loves him and wants all to be with him (John 3:16-17). Overall, a very good album, especially the Hallelujah versions.

Not genuine. Most country artists understand how great Gospel songs sound and record a gospel album. It would be nice if he was a practicing christian, which would make it seem more genuine. Also, the universalist attitude where he envisions “muslims, Hindus, etc” in Heaven is not a Christian idea and should not be included in a gospel theme album. The album sounds good, wish there were more than 8 songs

Yes. Yes sir..

Disappointed. This album’s description and smear of half his audience is misguided. To paint a large swath of the population with such a wide brush is virtue signaling at its worst. In re: to the album, I respect his desire to evolve musically, but this didn’t hit the mark. Too big of a leap and it abandoned his audience.

WOW!. I heard a small clip on the KSR show and had to check out this album. This music just instantly reached way down in my soul and pulled out emotions I had forgotten and thought were dead. It was like taking a dry rotted sponge and tossing it into an ocean when this music flowed from my speakers into every cell in my body. My heart skipped a beat. It literally brought tears to my eyes. There is just something so real and genuine in Tyler’s voice that for now I just can’t get enough of.

Not my favorite. Bought ahead of time but this isn’t like his previous albums. I wished I would have waited and previewed album before I bought.

Socially conscious folks?. It doesn’t work. I wanted to like it but this is garbage. What’s happened / gone political and lost it musically.

Love it!. Absolutely love this album. I’m loving Heart you’ve been tendin’ & Way of the Triune God! So so good.

Love it. Great Christian songs ✝️

Tyler never misses. 🔥🔥🔥

Quit giving bad reviews, Bible beaters!!!. If you aren’t capable of understanding how deep and broad these lyrics are because you’re too far stuck in your Bible, try opening your mind a little before writing a review!!! This is his best musical and lyrical work yet.

We all find our way back home. I feel like most religions have way to many hypocrites, preaching to us sinners about how to live a better life. A life that secures our tickets to the biggest most powerful show that we have an opportunity to gain admittance to. It seems to me that Tyler redirects through his magical voice those misconceptions and what I feel to be the code to gain admittance to the show of our lifetime. He’s came along way in life, fought the devil on his shoulder with years of addiction and being unsure of his life’s path. He has since overcome one of the hardest journeys life can take you on, and from my point of view released this album to celebrate his journey down his new path of sobriety. Tyler conducts this celebration by harmonizing his heritage and upbringing in gospel with his own added touch. This album represents so much to so many regardless of anyones faith and beliefs and that no matter the path anyone of us are on, we have the opportunity to take the most righteous route when we’re ready. With the song Jubilee (either version), we are shown that regardless of your faith, each and everyone of us have an opportunity to rejoice in heaven together for eternity regardless of the route we took to get there and our beliefs in religion. I’m a believer in the all mighty and every now and again will stumble off the most direct path to the biggest show, but once I realize how rocky of a path I’m on, I take a look at my moral compass and am able to find that direct path again. This album gives me the hope as it should to us all, that we will be admitted to the biggest show in our lifetime, regardless of the pathways we took to get there, beliefs that were instilled in us at birth. We should all know that we will always have our own moral compass that will point us in the right direction to get us back on path when we’re ready for that direct route. Great job Tyler, you are a true inspiration to me and so many. You’ve given me hope and have helped me through so many rocky pathways over the last 4 years I’ve been following you. I to was raised in Christianity, and haven’t always lived my life through the preaching’s and interpretations of the good word I was taught to live by growing up in the south. I’ve always felt that’s ok, as long as we always resort back to our own moral compass and keep striving to find a better more direct route to our final show. Your in inspiration to me for even brighter days yet to come and give me the motivation for my journey through life. Thank you!

Not worth it.. Lots of repeats and instrumentals. Really a bummer.

Purgatory. It’s hard to believe this is the same guy who put out the album Purgatory.

Amazing. This is a big shift for Tyler but once I gave it a couple of listens I was hooked. His vocals are better than ever. Can’t stop listening.

Real Country again. My favorite “Old Country Church “, was written with Flat Lick Baptist Church in mind, the oldest Baptist church in Pulaski County, Ky, organized in 1799.

What did I waste my money on?. This new sound… ain’t it. Yikes. This album is truly awful. What a disappointment from a once great artist.

Here's a thought.... "They" told Ray Charles NOT to do a country album. When you're good, you CAN do anything. Tell Billy Strings NOT to do anything but bluegrass. Country, certainly gospel , are near the bottom of my list , but Tyler Childers sound is music to my ears. This is not a review just reaction to a limited sampling , and i like him stretching out a bit. A great singer , songwriter ,musician , may YOUR god bless him and may he be one with everything. Isn't the title corny enough ,and country enough for you purists and churchy types?

Made for a different fan base. Every album we stray further from the light. Tyler builds a huge fan base… proceeds to completely change the sound and style most loved him for.

TERRIBLE. VERY disappointed!!! Nothing like his earlier albums. I don’t even know what this is …… wasted $12 is all I know.

Pretentious Nonsense. Yeah. That about sums up one EPs worth of material recorded three different ways in the name of “artistic ambition.”

Not Great. Album seems like a bit of a mess. Good musicianship but the writing is definitely lacking compared to previous records.

Garbage. Woke and broke

Excellent album. Love this album. All three versions. Tyler is so unique and gifted. Love that he’s sticking to his true beliefs and doesn’t care if it alienates others’ beliefs. Wish more people were open minded.

Political description. 2 stars for making the description about something political left.

I just discovered Tyler. I just now discovered Childers ! Where has he been hiding ? This my friends is REAL music I absolutely LOVE the real raw feel of his bluegrass country roots.

What's up with the OpEd in the "Review"..?. Sounds like the "reviewer" should have spent some time "In the Old Country Church"...Please, stick to the music in a music review...Awesome album from Tyler...

All the greats do this type of album. Personal project. Want to make music my own way. All the great have an album like this. Not mainstream and some argue counter to what make them “famous” to start. But what is in here is a throwback to his roots through his own lens and experience. This album and the different song versions highlight that an individual is made up of all types of things…and they got there on their own path.

Everyone's right. Disappointed . . . initially. Too this, too that, out there, not our Tyler Childers. Would have given it 1 star after first listen, but this is one of those albums that will draw you back for one more listen and then another and another. One of those albums you don't think you like . . . until you do! Kinda like Sound & Fury by Sturgill.

killer. love this album!! fantastic from start to finish of the entire thing (all 3 albums)

Its great!. Love it!

This album is FIRE and Brimstone. Tyler gonna save us all. Love it.

A++. Well done Tyler, he’s doing music his way and doesn’t care what others think. Good job sir

Love it. Love it…that is all.

Not impressed. I’ve been a fan of Tyler’s for years but I’m not impressed with this new album. Sort of a let down.

Huge letdown from my Favorite artist. I don’t remember being more disappointed in an album in my life. It’s amazing that a song can be played three different ways and still lack depth. Lyrics lack the passion, heart and hurt that Tyler once put into his albums. As a guitar player in church, I’m all for a gospel album and a sober one as well, but this greatly misses the mark. I planned to follow Tyler’s next tour but I’m having seconds thoughts since he’ll be paying mostly this album. Drop the band, pick up your guitar and write some good music again. Please

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. Childers lost his way when he buckled to the woke left wing Democrats. America is, and has been for 200 years, the most charitable country in the world, almost all of it coming from organizations based in Christian faith. We fought a civil war to bring down slavery while the continent of Africa still has institutional slavery. We embrace the disabled and give them every chance to live a normal life, while most of the world abandons them on the streets. And we defend helpless unborn children while the left has an insatiable desire to kill them. The problem with Childers and his ilk is a pathetic level of ignorance. They hate America because they know nothing about the rest of the world. And Childers makes millions playing music that is rooted in the America he hates. Go figure.

Music for everyone, but especially for musicians. This is Tyler’s most musically advanced album. If you don’t like it, cry somewhere else. As for everyone else, especially the musicians, enjoy!

Awesome!. Great music!!

Why Tyler???. Huge fan of Tyler…BUT…this is bad. Reminds me of Neil Young’s attempt at disco….just doesn’t make sense.

What happened to Tyler Childers?. This album is not recommended and it’s not even close. 3 different versions of terrible songs only makes them worse. What happened to this dude? Maybe he hit his head? Who knows.

Why do they have to always go next level “Art”?. I get that Tyler wanted to do what he wanted to do but I just don’t get it. It’s average music from a Superior Musical Mind and Talent. Sturgill did the same thing, never to be heard from again. So now my #1 (Sturgill) and #2 Tyler or gone and on the verge of gone…thank God for Jason Isbell to probably move up from that#3 spot. I’ll be listening to red barn, purgatory, Country Squire and all the live stuff of Tyler’s on Nugs for the rest of my life but this album won’t make it to ‘2024. What a let down…

It’s Different. Just not a sound I like.

Good stuff. Better than anything on tue radio. Ill take it.

Terrible. Another generic album

This album takes repeat, deep listening.. Little things stand out like the setar at the end of angel band, that has a lot of meaning. Don't judge this right off the bat. Tyler shares the spotlight with his band and they also add so many intelligent layers.

too religious. Used to like his material a lot, now he moved his themes into the religious realm, not my kind of fare. If you like that, his voice and presentation is still good.
