ACL 2024: Cale Tyson

 Sunday at 12:30pm. This NPR article sums this artist up best:

Two years ago at AmericanaFest, one of our favorite World Cafe Nashville discoveries was singer-songwriter Cale Tyson. Tyson grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, but has called Nashville home for the last six years. He released his debut album, Careless Soul, in 2017.

Where Careless Soul drew on a broad range of traditional country elements, Tyson's forthcoming EP, narcissist (out Feb. 1) is an intimate, sad, and often inspiring 180. Raw and stripped down, it positions Tyson more as a descendant of Elliott Smith and early Bright Eyes than the twangster influences he's worn on his sleeve.

One if those "newer" songs (the article is from 2018) they mention is "not healthy anymore". 

He has a new EP out this year. "Hope You're Hungover" is pretty country. I guess his Elliott Smith experiment is over.

"Hell I Like It' is good. The video is good, too. He reminds me of Nicolas Cage in "Raising Arizona" in it.

This is also new. It's a great song. Great video, too.
