Tyler Childers Teams Up with Rick Rubin for Upcoming Album

June 2, 2025 — Tyler Childers, the acclaimed alt-country artist, is collaborating with legendary producer Rick Rubin for his forthcoming album. While there is no confirmed release date yet, news of this partnership has generated excitement among fans and industry insiders alike.

In a recent interview, Peter Edge, Chairman and CEO of RCA Records, expressed his enthusiasm for the project. “I’m really excited about Tyler Childers’ new album, which is produced by Rick Rubin,” said Edge. “He defies expectations, and this new album goes even further. The great thing about Tyler is that he does it the way he wants to do it. He’s playing giant venues and making the music he wants to make.”

Childers has reignited interest in his music by performing tracks like “Jersey Giant” during his live shows, hinting that this song might feature on the new album. The song, initially written about a past relationship, was originally intended for Elle King, who recorded it instead.

Since the release of his last project, “Rustin’ in the Rain,” in 2023, which included notable tracks such as “In Your Love,” fans have been eager for new material. Additionally, Tyler Childers was featured in the soundtrack for the film “Twisters: The Album” in 2024.

With Rick Rubin at the helm, who has produced groundbreaking albums across various genres, there is speculation that this project could be a turning point for Childers. Rubin has an impressive portfolio, having worked with artists like Johnny Cash, Adele, and the Beastie Boys, and is known for his minimalist production style.

The partnership marks the first time Childers has worked with Rubin, following a series of past collaborations with other talented producers. His former albums, including “Purgatory” and “Country Squire,” were produced by Sturgill Simpson, while Childers took on production duties for his two most recent records.

As fans await details on the album’s release, excitement builds over the prospect of what Tyler Childers and Rick Rubin will create together. The expectations are high, and the music world is watching closely.
