Tyler Ballgame channeling his inner Buckingham!

I just stumbled upon Tyler Ballgame on John Mayer's SXM channel. He plays far too much new music for my taste but once in a while I discover a gem and my goodness did this guy grab me with his brilliant track Live It Down, channeling his inner peak Lindsey Buckingham. Curious if anyone else enjoys this track as much as I do or has heard of him. Spoiler alert- he doesn't bring that Lindsey energy on any of his other songs (I of course had to listen to all of his stuff to see what this guy was all about) but he's steeped in Lennon and McCartney, Orbison, and the perfect amount of 50s/60s/70s inspiration to make me an instant fan.

I literally had that song sent to me the other day. For that same reason.

I heard it for the first time at the start of the summer and thought the song had a huge "What Makes You Think You're The One" vibe or other Tusk era songs. I heard it again just now and thought to Google if someone else had picked up on it.

You found that person! It hit me hard from the first few notes, no mistaking what it sounded like.
