Snipe Hunter, 2025
Written by Tyler Childers
This is a swampy blues-rocker about the mysteries of nature, with passed-down lore about foraging for good herbs and mushrooms is embedded in the lyrics. "Watch out where you reach / You could come back penny-head-handed" warns of the danger of gettijng bitten by a copperhead. He talks about cohosh, an herb used for various medicinal purposes, apparently called "pointer" by some, and describes the gills on an oyster mushroom. "They grow on trees standin' and a rottin' and you know what you got to do." It's an embrace of heritage, a healthy fear of nature and the knowledge to tame it, the grandfathered old lore rapidly vanishing.
