Tyler Childers Puts ‘Nose On The Grindstone’ For New Rick Rubin-Produced Album ‘Snipe Hunter’

Tyler Childers announced his seventh studio album, Snipe Hunter, will be released on July 25 via Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records. The Kentucky-bred singer-songwriter introduced the record by sharing its lead single and longtime live staple, “Nose On The Grindstone.”

The highly anticipated follow-up to 2023’s Rustlin’ In The Rain was helmed by legendary producer Rick Rubin. Childers and Sylvan Esso's Nick Sanborn provided additional production. The tracklist for the 13-song collection has not been revealed.

Yesterday, Tyler Childers shared a cryptic video teasing new music. Casey Campbell stars in the video as a man getting a haircut before a hunting club meeting. The barber finishes and then calls for a customer named Oneida, the name of another previously unreleased song that Childers has been performing for years.

Fan-favorite “Nose On The Grindstone” dates back to 2017. The song has been played live by Tyler Childers nearly 200 times over the past eight years as per Setlist.FM statistics.
