The swampy, bluegrass-tingled single is available now
Kentucky-raised viral streamer Tyler Booth showcases his warm, classically country baritone in his latest single, “Talkin’ White Trash,” available now on all digital platforms via TyBo Records. Leaning into his Appalachian roots, Booth embraces the charm of southern living, where back porch pickin’ meets ice-cold beer and rusty tailgates. Taking listeners on a journey through life in a small town, Booth’s “Country as hell ‘til the day I die,” attitude is on full display in this swampy, bluegrass-inspired tune, serving up a taste of his rural upbringing.
“I wrote ‘Talkin’ White Trash’ about where I grew up and the people I grew up around. Hardworking, God-fearing people,” Booth says of the song. “I’m hoping there’s still enough of those out there that understand the message and the sentiment of this song.”
“Talkin’ White Trash” is the first single release from Booth’s upcoming project, out this summer. The collection of songs will see the Bluegrass State native’s return to a more organic, authentic sound, drawing inspiration from other Kentucky names like Keith Whitley, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Tyler Childers.
“I wanted to bring it back a bit more grassroots. Bring it back a bit more to where I began. There’s not a ton of production on this project – two songs are just me and a guitar. There’s some bluegrass, there’s mandolin, flat pickin’. I wanted to bring a bluegrass element, some blues, and a bit of rock.”
Booth shot to social stardom with past releases like “Palomino Princess,” “Already Got One,” and “Hank Crankin’ People,” earning over 100 million collective streams, and over one million social media fans.
