Tyler Childers Makes a Statement Over Two Nights at Madison Square Garden

Tyler Childers – Madison Square Garden – May 28-29, 2024

Tyler Childers has one of the great voices, not only in modern country and Americana, but in music, period: pained, howling, lived-in, oaky, scuffed-smooth when it needs to be, utterly recognizable. Over a series of sturdy albums that shows increasingly deep songwriting, his sound has become a through line from ancient twang to countrypolitan modern and many other points easily adjacent or distantly related, from gosxpel to folk, blues to Appalachian string. Especially in a live setting, they’re all usefully blended.

Childers and a massive version of his Food Stamps band — eight players in all — hit Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, the first of two statement-maker shows at the arena. Name-checking Joe’s Pub and some other much smaller NYC venues that dot a steady rise to bigger and bigger crowds over less than a decade, Childers seemed genuinely moved by the grand expanse of the room and the lordly reception from fans.��Naturally, he responded in kind: a big show, a big sound, gorgeously emotional whether it was the whole band hitting at full throttle, or Childers alone onstage in guitar-storyteller mode. 

The band all together revealed many layers as they fleshed out the tunes, from the country stomp of “Percheron Mules” to the gorgeous blends of pedal steel and fiddle that ramped into “I Swear (To God).” “All Your’n” was an example of a tender, piano-dappled love song — more than a few couples were asway at all levels of the arena — and snatches of accordion, mandolin and organ shot through at various points, too. “Purgatory” was a stuttering, busy boogie, and then came a see-and-raise to an even busier boogie, an instrumental reading of the traditional mountain picker “Cluck Ol’ Hen,” with Childers on a fiddle and the whole group moving into psychedelic hoedown territory. It was that kind of wild.

As deservedly much as he’s lauded for songwriting, Childers is a gifted interpreter of others’ songs too — never more than a few during a show and positioned just right. Tuesday’s show included a Kenny Rogers (“Tulsa Turnaround”), a Hank Williams (“Old Country Church”), an S.G. Goodman (!) (“Space and Time” — stunning) and … yep, a Kermit the Frog (“Movin’ Right Along”), complete with the green puppet himself, singing on both that song and, as a bittersweet duo with Childers just before it, on “Lady May.”

I mean, sure, why not, right? Kermit was just one more part of the full serving — a continuous, two-hour set with a solo-acoustic segment in the middle that unfolded panoramically and went for broke near the end with a run that included usual Childers bangers like “Whitehouse Road,” “Way of the Triune God” and the triumphant “Universal Sound.” The finale was “Heart You’ve Been Tendin’,” which built gradually on the back of the chant-like refrain “All that you’ll take” and stacked the tension, yielding to a bone-saw-sharp solo from guitarist CJ Cain that pushed the band to Crazy Horse–like levels of vicious choogle. But heavy and sonic as it all was, Childers himself remained the center of the action regardless of the mode, letting his humility be even bigger than his voice and then pushing that howl even harder, paying off the tender hearts and the rage-ready alike. A great night. —Chad Berndtson | @Cberndtson

Fim de noite FM volume 2

Continuando minha seleção romântica de Soul/R&B que comecei no post anterior, trago mais clássicos que nunca deixaram de tocar em rádio, nem que seja nas webrádios especializadas (que também embalam algumas noites minhas). A ideia inicial era fazer uma playlist só, mas quis separar pra entrar nesse formato novo que simula uma fita K-7, com dois tempos de 45 minutos. Acabei enfeitando com algumas…

It's absolutely fascinating really, it's cheesy as they get, it's completely bonkers, frequently overblown, unapologetically irreverent and sometimes genuinely clunky, not to mention SO flashy it really should come with a built-in epilepsy trigger warning ...

AND YET ...

It's also IMMENSELY entertaining, visually stunning, packed with gleefully anarchic and truly original action, clearly made with GREAT love, affection and appreciation for the source material and revolves around a central cast of thoroughly endearing, surprisingly well-written characters (NOT caricatures) that you become invested in within the first five minutes and remain so right to the end. It's INCREDIBLY heartfelt and, while this has all been done A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE, I still find myself tearing up EVERY SINGLE TIME we get to that final race because it's SO emotionally charged ...

It's about the most full-on Wachowski movie the Wachowskis ever made, and I love it. Watch it. Seriously ...

Kronk's New Groove (2005)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Kronk’s New Groove is the worst kind of sequel. Not only is it bad, it’s so dreadful it makes you wonder if you really even liked the first movie.

Now the chef and head delivery boy of Mudka’s Meat Hut, Kronk Pepikrankenitz (voiced by Patrick Warburton) should be happy. Instead, he’s worried. His disapproving father is coming to visit and all the loveable lug can think about are the times where he tried - and failed - to obtain the family and house on the hill pops dreamed he’d have.

Think of your favourite jokes from The Emperor’s New Groove. Guess what? It's back! They’re all back! Well, cheap clones of them, anyway. The shot where Yzma (Eartha Kitt) lifts up her dress and the characters recoil in horror because they think the old, ugly witch is trying to be sexy but actually, she’s showing them something else? You get it. How about Chaca (Jessie Flower) and Tipo (Eli Russell Linnetz) arguing? You get that too. The Emperor (David Spade) breaking the fourth wall and commenting on the action? Yup. Yzma’s secret lair beneath the surface? Talking with squirrels? The food that turns out to be disgusting bugs? Check, check, check. Too bad none of it is original or remotely amusing this time.

It goes without saying that this direct-to-video sequel has animation of a significantly lower quality than its predecessor. That’s forgiveable. What isn’t is the quality of the songs. Kronk’s New Groove barely qualifies as a musical but there are just enough tunes to make you regret you have ears. The most memorable number is when Earth, Wind and Fire’s Let’s Groove plays. ‘Cause it has “groove” in the name, get it?

One of the funniest elements of The Emperor’s New Groove was its historical anachronisms. Kronk’s New Groove has them too and they’re constant. It’s set in ancient Incan times but we have scout leaders with British accents, Jewish weddings, references to Titanic and The Lord of the Rings, and so on and so forth. Seems to me as if the writers just threw whatever dusty gags they found in the bin together and called it a day.

Though it isn’t as blatantly obvious as it is in Atlantis: Milo’s Return and Tarzan 2, this all feels suspiciously like a bunch of TV episodes stitched together to make a movie. The first “plot” has Kronk swindling the village fossils out of their savings for a youth potion that doesn’t work after Yzma inexplicably returns. The second is the tale of two rival scout troupes battling it out for a trophy while romance blossoms between Kronk and Miss Birdwell (voiced by Tracey Ullman). After reminiscing these events, Kronk’s father arrives and our hero scrambles to come up with a “family” so pops won’t be disappointed. Are you tired of this movie yet?

Kronk’s New Groove proves a little of its titular character went a long way. You get sick of this movie within a quarter of an hour. Too bad. You’ve got another 57 agonizingly long minutes to go. I’m going to resist giving it the lowest possible score for reasons I can’t explain but it’s a tough inner battle. The audacity of a scene in which Kuzko yells at “the guy up in the projection booth” to restart the movie almost made me laugh. As if any theater would be desperate enough to show this on one of their screens. (February 26, 2021)
