Y’all. Tyler Childers, an Appalachian bluegrass artist from Kentucky, just released a song with a music video featuring a queer love story between two coal miners called In Your Love. At this point I have no idea if he’ll get backlash for it, but I would really appreciate if you would watch the mv below and maybe give some positive engagement. I have a feeling he’ll need it.
He has a beautiful discography with really thoughtful, poignant lyrics, and imo he does a fantastic job tackling complicated topics. I highly recommend him! With all the Jason Aldean stuff going around, it feels more important than ever that we have empathetic and authentic voices in country music.
(…and unlike Jason, Tyler’s 2020 song Long Violent History actually SUPPORTS the fight against racial inequality. You can listen to it here if you’d like.)
TLDR: Stan Tyler Childers 🖤

Like the music in the new Hunger Games movie but not really know anything about folk/bluegrass/country? Here are some quick recs to get you started!
(This is not comprehensive and the genres here are a little whack, these are just songs I listen to as someone raised on good Appalachian vibes. Not necessarily from just Appalachian artists, particularly in the second section. Just think it’s nice that people are getting more exposure to folk + bluegrass!)
Protest Songs / Coal Criticism
(Hazel Dickens I would give you smooches.. also these are just the ones living in my playlists rn)
“You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive,” Patty Loveless
“The L and N Don’t Stop Here Anymore,” Jean Ritchie
“Coal Tattoo,” and I’m exercising my free will and linking the Hazel Dickens version
“The Yablonski Murder,” Hazel Dickens
“Coal,” Tyler Childers
“Trip to Hyden,” Tom T. Hall
“Coal Miner’s Daughter,” Loretta Lynn
“Devil Put the Coal in the Ground,” Steve Earle
Assorted Personal Favorites
(where my love for Sierra Ferrell is really on display)
“West Virginia Waltz,” Sierra Ferrell
“Across the Great Divide,” Nanci Griffith
“Blue Ridge Mountain,” Hurray for the Riff Raff
“Iowa (Traveling, Pt. 3),” Dar Williams
“Rhododendron,” Bella White
“Boulder to Birmingham,” Emmylou Harris
“Silver Dollar,” Sierra Ferrell
“Hands of Time,” Margo Price
“Lilacs,” Waxahatchee
“Way of the Triune God,” Tyler Childers
“The Dreaded Spoon,” Ricky Skaggs + Bruce Hornsby
“Preacher in the Ring, Pt. 1,” Bruce Hornsby
“The Green Rolling Hills of West Virginia,” Hazel Dickens
“Rocky Top,” The Osborne Brothers
“Do You Think About Me At All,” Bella White
“In Dreams,” Sierra Ferrell

"Second fiddle to her larger dreams, 17-year old Lisa Rhoades's talent for bluegrass music will, she hopes, see her through college and law school. Here with her niece Tara Jane Estes, she warms up for an old-time fiddling contest at Thedford, Nebraska's high school."
National Geographic - October, 1978

Forgive me for sounding incredibly basic and cringey but I do think that “ballad of songbirds and snakes” deserves a bit of credit for positively portraying Appalachian culture and acknowledging the struggle of those people.
I know Rachel Zegler is not Appalachian, but she pulled of a bluegrass/country sound in a way that at LEAST seemed more authentic than modern commercialized stadium bro country. (With some help from auto tune possibly)
Her accent in some of her lines could use a little work, but even my fellow southerners sound TERRIBLY unnatural when we try to mimic our own accents so what do I know 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’m from a middle class suburb of Nashville though so might not be the best judge lol 😂.
What are your thoughts if you are an Appalachian or southern person who has seen the hunger games??? Is it’s portrayal of district 12 good or bad?
Apparently Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were both born in Kentucky even though their accents are more “neutral”.

As someone who lives in the deep south--South Carolina--I was always around country and bluegrass music, and I grew up hearing older songs and newer songs and I stopped listening to it because of peer pressure and shame, but also because I was sick of it, but I've recently been listening to country songs again, some I remember, some I don't and I forgot how many country and bluegrass love songs there are! Like, the best country songs are the ones about revenge on shitty men, leftist values, silly shit, and love/breakup songs. That's all you gotta know. Don't listen to none of that "AMERICA RAHH" and "I beat my wife while she wears a bikini" bullshit. Like, there are a lot of good country and bluegrass songs that get pushed to the side because of post 9/11 country. Like, GOOD country music is actually fun. Banjo's and the works are also hella fun to play.
