Shake the Frost - Tyler Childers

This is a solo performance from Tyler, filling in for an ailing Hannah Aldridge. His reference to this song being on his CD, Live on Red Barn Radio I, was from his performance with Highwall. Arthur Hancock and Highwall developed the band and it went on to become the original Wooks.

Who is still listening to this masterpiece in 2024👇

[NickTV]

Who else has listened to this basically everyday since discovering it??

[RaghornSlayer]

This young man wrote this whole work of art while a group of grown men were writing a song that goes “chew tobacco chew tobacco spit”

[chrisdensmore]

This cost me a 9 year relationship. Just being angry at nothing. Just being pissed off at the world for no reason. I had so much and forgot to be thankful for that. When you go through life being mad at everything and keeping all your feelings inside, you will truly get frost on your bones. I feel this song so deep in my soul. I work hard everyday and I will not give up. Better days are coming .

[ChopsMahone]

This dude sings with everything in his bones. When he is singing hes not thinking about the song. Hes thinking about who the song was written about.

[raythorsten]

Been around 60 years. Ain’t heard many better songs

[IAmGrunt]

I just found this guy today, and already feel like I need to tell absolutely everybody I know about this

[geoffm]

I'm convinced that this recording of this song is the best country song of all-time.

Me and a buddy of mine used to listen to Tyler all the time when we were together. I was a freshman in highschool without a lot of friends starting to go down the wrong path and he was a junior and he took me under his wing and showed me who i wanted to be. We used to ride around in his old beat up ford ranger after school and blare Tyler and old rock and country and just talk and laugh and I miss those days man I really do. We had planned on enlisting in the military together once I graduated highschool and we had it all planned out and then he was diagnosed with cancer and we didn’t get to hangout as much and we slowly stopped talking but we both knew it was a bond that we can’t get rid of and he just recently beat it a few months ago and we’re supposed to start hanging out again and I can’t wait.


10/3/21 - I turn 17 this Friday and I plan to enlist as soon as I can. I’m a junior now too.. the same age trapper was when he took me under his wing. I hope that I can help someone the way he helped me so I’ve been looking out for younger fellas that’s I could take in like trapped did for me. I just spoke to trap a few days ago and he’s doing well, working his tail off like always and still making time to go to night electrical classes. Even though we don’t talk as frequently we can pick up a conversation just like always and are just the same. Thank y’all for everything guys I’ll check back in in a while

3/21/23 - It’s been a little bit since I’ve hopped on here. I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu about 8 months ago. Trapper used to train jiu jitsu and wrestle though out highschool and I had always wanted to so I figured why not. Trapper ended up coming and training again for a few months between work and we even went to Richmond to compete together. Unfortunately this only lasted a few months before he went back to work but it was nice to see him again. On another note I’m going to meps tomorrow and signing my contract the following day. I’m going in as a combat medic and will ship out for basic right after I graduate highschool. I’m excited, this is the next step towards becoming the man I’ve always wanted to become. However, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for trapper taking me under his wing a few years ago.

11/10/23 - Well uh, I’m in San Antonio currently at Fort Sam Houston learning how to be a combat medic. Just graduated basic training about a week ago and am starting AIT now. Crazy to think that I am where I am right now. Cool to look back. Grateful for all of the experiences that brought me to where I am. Have a blessed day

There's a lot a soul in his voice for being a ginger....

[pnwgolfer]

Anyone else ball their eyes out while listening to Tyler sing for no reason other than his voice hugging your soul?

[tchoate]

At 2:22 you can see he remembers exactly who he is singing about.
We all remember our regrets. Mercy.

[Miss_Boho]

My parents were murdered on 2/15/22 by a 19 year old boy under the influence of drugs. My mom and I had a rocky relationship for no particular reason and I became angry, so angry that I didn't see her for the past 4 1/2 years. We would speak on social media here and there but I never got to fix it. She passed away thinking I hated her and I will never forgive myself for that. My brother sent me this song Saturday night because he said it reminded him of me and my mom. We are in fact from Kentucky, she was our consistent, our strength, our warrior our life. Without her on this earth I am shattered & just completely broken. As I sit here tonight listening to this song, with tears falling down my face, I want to thank you for giving me this piece of comfort. When I hear this, especially the beginning, I will always think of my mommy, my brother and me back home in Kentucky where we were loved unconditionally and where she is laid to rest 🕊🕊🕊

You remind me of a Sunday
Back home in old Kentucky
With the church choirs just beltin' to the pines
And I love you like the mountains
Love the way you the mornin opens
To a soft and bright greetin from the sun

So if it'd make you stay
I wouldn't act so angry all the time
I wouldn't keep it all inside
And id let you know how much I love you each and every day
So darlin stay right here and shake this frost off of my bones

Well I used to ride a mustang
And id run that thing on high hopes
Till they raised the price of dreams so high I couldn't pay
So I let that car just sit there when I should've took you drivin
With the windows down while the music played

So if it'd make you stay
I wouldn't act so angry all the time
I wouldn't keep it all inside
And id let you know how much I love you each and every day

So darlin stay right here and shake this frost off of my bones

[keithmichaels]

“So if it’d make you stay, I wouldn’t act so angry all the time” hits home hard.

[mnjackpots]

Doesn't look like him at all, until he starts singing.

[jtl]

WTF just happened!? Perfectly fine and out of no where this dude just magically found my eye sprinkler button.

[sjstokke]

Are there others out there who fully understands how talented this man is? His songs are a gateway to Heaven. Sunshine on your face in the winter. I get it; I really do!

[JerseyMiller]

I used to ride a mustang, and I'd run that thing on high hopes till they raised the price of dreams so high I couldn't pay. This kid knows too much about the world for a pup without a beard. God bless red.

[andrewgilbert]

This is the voice of truth, youth and regret all men have been here...thanks Tyler
