Childers’ last album Rusting in the Rainis a collection of seven songs that depict the romance and pride of where he comes from (the Appalachian region of Kentucky near the West Virginia border).

From surgeries to treat his clubfoot to being confined to a wheelchair for a time at a young age, Childers faced many challenges in his life, including addiction.

In September 2020, the GRAMMY-nominated artist posted: six minute video online to talk about alcohol and drug use. About six months before filming the video announcing her fourth album, she told fans she had quit drugs and drinking. Long History of Violence.

Childers also revealed the theme of his album.

“COVID has challenged all of us in some way or fashion,” he said. “People have been imprisoned and quarantined, people have lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet, people have lost family members, the country is experiencing general anxiety. Meanwhile, we have witnessed violent acts of police brutality across the country that have gone unaddressed. In contrast, we have seen protests escalate into riots and riots resulting in acts of violence and property destruction. “From an outsider’s perspective, it’s hard to understand where all this visceral anger is coming from.”

Childers says he believes it’s a lack of empathy that makes it difficult for some people to understand the problems at hand.

“With that in mind, at the risk of mistakenly comparing two groups of people, I would ask my rural white listeners to think about this,” he continued. “I don’t mean to imply that any of you haven’t done a good self-examination on this issue, but I’ve heard from plenty of people who haven’t.”

The country music singer-songwriter then challenged his fans with this question: “Would we keep opening our daily newspaper and seeing a headline like ‘Eastern Kentucky man shot seven times while fishing?’ Read on and learn that the man was fishing with his son when he was shot by the game warden, who saw him rummaging through his tackle box for a license and thought he was reaching for a knife.

Childers says he predicts there would be a similar reaction from rural areas if the roles were reversed.

He ends the video by talking about the history of racism in the United States, especially in rural communities in the South. Long History of Violence. On the Billboard Charts, the record ranked No. 6 among the Top US Country Albums in 2020.

Some of Childers’ most popular songs come from his older albums:

• “Hairy Indians” Purgatory
• “It’s All Yours” Country Lord
• “Shake the Don” Live broadcast on Red Barn Radio I and II
• “The Nose on the Millstone” Purgatory
• “Lady May” Purgatory
