Honky Tonk Flame - Tyler Childers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

There's an authentic, straight-to-the-point simplicity to the music of Tyler Childers, an artist who deploys folk, country, and the traditional banjo-led bluegrass wanderings of his native Kentucky in his critically acclaimed balladry. On "Honky Tonk Flame," which is teamed with the nine other delights nestled on his 2017 breakthrough album Purgatory, he sets out his stall, pairing swaggering lyrics about a man searching for the titular "flame" in a honky-tonk bar, with a crackly Americana-primed sound. Elsewhere, Purgatory is illuminated by its cast of shady characters and tips its hat to Tyler Childers' Kentucky birthplace in its album artwork, which appears to resemble both the shape of his Lawrence County hometown and the distinctive patterning of the Kentucky agate stone. Purgatory, the follow-up to Tyler Childers's debut 2011 album Bottles and Bibles, took his career up a notch to land him a number 71 chart victory on the US Billboard 200.
