Country crooner, Tyler Childers, is taking his Kentuckian gospel on the road.But before he starts his “Purgatory” tour, Childers stopped by the comfy setting of NPR’s “Tiny Desk” series for a three song set that stripped the Sturgill Simpson disciple’s music to absolute bare bones: a mic, acoustic guitar and songs of strife. If you missed the 2017 album, “Purgatory,” do yourself a favor and grab a bottle of bourbon and drown your sorrows in the hearth of one of the best country albums in recent memory.
