Your new summer anthem is here!☀️ AJ Lee & Blue Summit’s buoyant interpretation of “Soak Up The Sun” recasts the Sheryl Crow radio hit as a soaring, feel-good string band tune built around an infectious mandolin hook and lush vocal stacks.

“This has been a long time favorite among listeners since the early 2000’s so it’s about time there was a bluegrass version! Sheryl Crow has been a big inspiration to me vocally and stylistically and how she leads as a woman in the music industry. It’s almost impossible not to sing along when that chorus comes around.” — AJ Lee

For most, they know Tyler Childers for being the voice behind songs like "Shake the Frost," "Nose on the Grindstone," and "Feathered Indians." But after spending over a decade in country music, it seems that the singer wanted a new challenge when he teamed up with Willi Carlisle for a new album. Instead of collaborating on a song, Childers added his name to Carlisle's upcoming album, The Universal Bubba, as a producer.

Scheduled to drop on November 6, Carlisle hoped to get fans excited when releasing his latest single, "The Mason Jar at the Center of the World." Discussing his inspiration behind the project, the singer noted how there were no limits when it came to the creative process. "I think this one goes to outer space. I think this is the widest range of influences that I've ever had. It touches on funk, it touches on Americana, Cajun, old-time, and experimental music."

Want to know what The Universal Bubba will feel like? According to Carlisle, "It feels like getting drunk at the Civil War reenactment, or cruising at the cattle auction, or doing molly at the square dance." While it is difficult to pick between the three adventures, The Universal Bubba will come in both CD and vinyl. Carlisle also offered a signed copy of each version.

As for Childers, the singer left his mark on The Universal Bubba by being more than a producer. The double album was recorded using his backing band, The Food Stamps. If that wasn't enough, to capture that perfect sound, the entire team built a makeshift recording studio in New Orleans.

Ready to take fans on a journey out of this world, Carlisle believed that Childers was the best person to help him achieve his goal. "I want to make universal folk music. Songs for all kinds of weirdo. With the idea that there is nobody that doesn't have folk songs and everyone deserves folk songs. I want to write songs that prove the old weird America didn't go anywhere, that we are living and dying for it every day."

With Childers and Carlisle joining forces, The Universal Bubba is shaping up to be one of the year's most anticipated country albums.

“‘Mason Jar at the Center of the World’ is another reason why no one sings about the world like Carlisle. If you don’t take my word for it, you should definitely take Tyler Childers’. He produced this song.”
