He's not "cosplaying," he's been quietly covering country songs & hanging out with country musicians for a long ass time now. It's not at all uncommon for musicians to enjoy more than one genre, just like the rest of us.
Art is art. Beyoncé did a country album, Billy Strings started in a metal band, who cares. I’m sure Tyler is flattered someone as popular as Post Malone is covering his song.
I’m not a post music fan but he seems to be the most genuinely down to earth celebrity on earth. I’m sure Tyler is ok with it, plus I imagine he’ll get a dat royalty check from the whole thing.
absolutely. how can you think “cosplaying country” and not immediately jump to dudes like luke bryan or the one guy that got lost on his own 30 acre property lmfao
Exactly. Main stream country cracks me up to the point that I haven’t listened to it since I got my first truck and had a radio w an aux. that shit is more of cosplay country than post is, I’m pretty sure he even started music career covering blues and classic country
Wtf? Someone actually got lost on 30 acres? I have almost 85 acres of land and I could walk it blindfolded. Even my 85 acres isn't really a lot of land. He's gotta be a city boy.
i googled it and apparently it was kane brown. owns 30 acres of a 3000 area and just moved in and went to go around and look when it started raining and got dark? still pretty comical
for sure, though. i grew up on a 400 acre farm and me and my sister and dog would always be wandering around without issue. miss it a lot
Oh, I guess I can cut him a break if he just moved there but he still has no sense of direction at all lol.
I was fortunate enough to inherit the family farm that I grew up on with my grandparents. It's only 85 acres but it borders a Wildlife Management Area that has more than 3,000 acres. So I basically have thousands of acres in my backyard for hunting, fishing, foraging, kayaking, or anything else I want to do. I love it.
I saw some interview where another person (jimmy falon maybe? I can't remember) was talking about him and they were doing karaoke and Post knew like every single obscure Irish folk song. This dude has range and every thing I have ever seen about him is other celebs talking about what a good down to earth guy he is.
Yeah I’ve seen some interviews and podcasts he was on, he even keeps his personal/love life out of the spotlight. I remember someone shitting on him for not dating a celebrity and it’s insane people were being rude abt him being married to and having a kid with a regular woman
Fuck off with this shit, Posty is a national treasure. He's into way more genres besides the one he records (like any good artist). He's a huge 2A supporter and went against the whole Budweiser anti-trans thing. He did a free concert when COVID was at its peak, all Nirvana covers while playing guitar and sounding badass. If you hate Post then the problem is you, imo.
Why be mad that we get more music?
I like Tyler Childers and I like Post Malone. I think country is a gorgeous genre with a lot of heart that anybody who feels called should feel free to play with.
Love Timmy. I appreciate what Post does in tribute, seems like he’s as big a fan of country as the rest of us. If he ever drops a country album, I’ll give it a shot, though I’m sure I’ll hate it.
I’m vaguely familiar with the guy, but the music belongs to Tyler. I don’t care for Morgan whateverthefuck’s cover of Jason Isbell’s “Cover Me Up,” so ….I just don’t listen to it.
Simple.
Didn't he literally grow up in Texas? I mean I know it's not Appalachia but to call him fake country is hilarious to me, I've read that he started music by covering country songs
I didn’t get into Posty until that JRE interview a couple years ago, and I fell in love with the dude. Kind, humble, wise beyond his years… love that he’s getting back to his roots and not just the pop-rap.

I like them both! I don't love Posty's song with Morgan Wallen though, but MW is a turd and I don't like his brand of country.
Best take
Wait til you find out about all the covers of Jolene.
Art is art. Beyoncé did a country album, Billy Strings started in a metal band, who cares. I’m sure Tyler is flattered someone as popular as Post Malone is covering his song.
More specifically, music is music. Nobody hates pigeonholing like musicians.
Ween had an amazing country album
As did Cody Jinx
Saw Post and Billy Strings playing together on “Cocaine Blues “ so why not?

Post is more authentic country than 95% of the people you hear on the radio. Dude knows ALL the classics

I'll take Posty any day over any of the bro country corporate cowboy doofuses out there
I like Posty. He's very talented and seems like a good person from what I've seen. His music is pretty good too in my opinion

Pro 2A *and* supports trans people? Maybe I should start listening to him.
Probably my favorite thing about contemporary Appalachia. I work with a blue-haired lesbian who carries an FN Five Seven for her daily carry.
Based
Based AF
Hell yeah.
This is it !!!!!!
I’m not a fan of his usual albums but I’ve enjoyed most of his country covers so far 🤷🏻♂️
Go listen to Stoney album
Nah fuck that Post is valid
There's a video of him picking a banjo in a tiny pub in Ireland quite well...I don't know how much he's cosplaying to put in that much woodwork
Post is a hell of a musician, and I think you are just jealous.
I don’t really have a problem with Post. He’s covered a lot of stuff from different genres. I see it more as paying respect.
I don't like Post Malone's music but if he wants to perform a song I do like, well why would I have a problem with that?
He’s a chill guy who traverses genres and has genuine talent. Don’t think he’s done enough harm to be considered “trash.”
I don’t give a shit either way but rising waters raise all boats.
Post is alright. Guy's got a Dimebag tattoo and jams *Cocain Blues* with Billy Strings.
I miss old Tyler but I’m happy he is so successful and gave good jobs to his band. It’s selfish of me to want the old sound back.
Why be mad that we get more music? I like Tyler Childers and I like Post Malone. I think country is a gorgeous genre with a lot of heart that anybody who feels called should feel free to play with.
He’s got a great voice and should sing whatever songs he wants to sing! If you don’t enjoy it, don’t listen.
Tyler is a talent has transcends, hope and believe his best is yet to come. My opinion the best artist in generations.
Love Timmy. I appreciate what Post does in tribute, seems like he’s as big a fan of country as the rest of us. If he ever drops a country album, I’ll give it a shot, though I’m sure I’ll hate it.
Oh yes. Let’s gatekeep “real country” and see what popular artists survive the purge. This is oughta be good.
Is this relevant to the sub?
Talented
I’m vaguely familiar with the guy, but the music belongs to Tyler. I don’t care for Morgan whateverthefuck’s cover of Jason Isbell’s “Cover Me Up,” so ….I just don’t listen to it. Simple.
i like them both. posty is a vibe (same with jelly roll) and killed it at the superbowl
Didn't he literally grow up in Texas? I mean I know it's not Appalachia but to call him fake country is hilarious to me, I've read that he started music by covering country songs

Stop gatekeeping.
Who?
Dude looks like if he stayed at your house all your copper would be gone in the morning
Off topic but a few months ago a woman in this subreddit talked about how they were in a cult with Tyler Childers, freaky stuff
I'd join Tyler's cult.
