If Whiskey Could Talk - Tyler Childers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"If whiskey could talk, it'd say I'm a great guy", muses Tyler Childers. "Or at least it ought to, for as much as I buy / But it's money well spent just to help me feel free / From the pain she creates, when she's cheatin' on me". This heart-wrenching acoustic confessional finds the native Kentuckian in hyper-vulnerable mode as he looks to the bottom of the bottle to free himself from the pain of heartache. "If Whiskey Could Talk" was featured on Tyler Childers's debut 2011 album Bottles and Bibles; on which he nailed the gritty essence of hard-living Appalachian country music—often singing about coal mining, which was his father's occupation—via a collection of 13 bluegrass-inspired songs. Among these was the concept-driven title track that tells the tale of pastor who struggles with alcohol after his wife leaves him. Tyler Childers amazingly wrote and released Bottles and Bibles when he was just 19 years old.
