Tyler Childers is a proud Kentuckian, and Kentucky is damn sure proud of him back — especially since he dropped his latest rocket of a record in July. Over a decade of incredible music hasn’t stopped some haters from being big mad online, though, presumably because Tyler made them watch two coal miners kiss one time.
That included Kenny Cody, who wrote an article headlined “Country star Tyler Childers was a rising voice of Appalachia—now he's nothing but a hick lib.” (We’re not going to link to the article because, as you probably guessed, it’s bad.)
He writes that Tyler lost his reputation as the next Hank Williams Jr. once he started showing support for liberal causes, like, equality, I guess? Who knows.
Leaving aside the fact that literally nobody was calling Tyler “the next Hank Williams Jr,” or that Hank Williams Jr. himself doesn’t stay out of politics, Cody might have accidentally handed us this year’s Hot Girl Summer meme of the year.
If being from the South and believing in the decency of all humans makes us Hick Libs, then buddy, PRINT THE SHIRT!
Our newest tee is finally taking back the derogatory term that one guy used once and letting you wear it with pride. Show your support for Tyler, Kentuckians, and all the Hick Libs around the world.
