Tyler Nance- "One and Only Son"

Tyler Nance- "One and Only Son"

Tyler Nance may have jumped the gun with his Father’s Day gift this year, but at least he was generous enough to share it with the world, not just his dad. “One And Only Son” serves as an earnest, deeply emotional tribute to his relationship with his father, laced with the unmistakable influence of Red Dirt music. The lyrics convey Tyler’s profound gratitude for his bond with his dad and the immense admiration he holds for all his has accomplished. This is not merely a song about a man who dutifully raised his child; this is a celebration of a hero, a larger-than-life figure in Tyler’s world. Tyler’s vocal performance is a striking standout, marked by an emotive yelp during his high-note transitions that calls to mind Tyler Childers’ raw, untamed delivery. His voice balances a delicate mix of vulnerability and strength, perfectly mirroring the fatherly wisdom imparted in the song’s lyrics. Musically, the track embodies the steady, unhurried rhythm that defines classic country, allowing the emotions to slowly simmer and concentrate. The sound feels like a familiar, comforting embrace, much like a well-worn pair of boots. Subtle splashes of phaser guitar further pop up throughout the song- a fitting nod to the Outlaw country that was surely the soundtrack to many road trips with his dad. With its visceral emotion and timeless, grounded sound, “One And Only Son” is a thoroughly heartfelt homage that resonates on a personal level. It’s a track that not only honors Tyler’s father but showcases his own evolving artistry—one that will surely leave a lasting impression on listeners and undoubtedly make his father proud.
