The upcoming shows add to a yet another landmark year for Childers, who released his new triple album, Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?, earlier this fall via Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records (stream/purchase here). Produced by Childers and The Food Stamps and recorded in guitarist’s James Barker’s home studio, Dragline Studios, the record features eight songs presented in three distinct sonic perspectives—Hallelujah, Jubilee and Joyful Noise.

The Hallelujah version captures Tyler and the band playing live in a single room, while the Jubilee version builds on it with the addition of strings, horns and an array of worldly instruments such as dulcimer, mbira and sitar. Meanwhile, The Joyful Noise version consists of remixes created with DJ Charlie Brown Superstar (Brett Fuller) that include samples from sources such as “The Andy Griffith Show,” theologist Thomas Merton and comedian Jerry Clower as well as church service excerpts pulled from the Kentucky Center for Traditional Music archives.
