GHOST HOUNDS RELEASE VIDEO FOR “BETWEEN ME AND THE DEVIL”

June 23rd, 2021 - Today, Ghost Hounds released the accompanying video for their newest single, “Between Me And The Devil,” via Maple House Records. The visual emulates the legend of Robert Johnson, in which Johnson makes a deal with the devil in trading his soul for mastery of the guitar. Similarly, we watch as lead singer, Tre’ Nation, makes a deal with a record label in trading his soul for a successful music career. As this plays out we hear Nation sing, “The only reason I’m keepin’ my soul is / I already gave you my heart,” insinuating that his love for music will help him to overcome any hardship he may face due to the deal he’s made.

“In this case, it’s a little nod to Robert Johnson, and our hero in the song is tempted to make that deal,” guitarist and songwriter Thomas Tull tells American Songwriter. “He’s tempted to visit those crossroads, but he’s in love with this woman, and he is basically saying that you’re keeping me out of harm’s way. Our relationship is letting me hang on and not give in to temptation.”

Released on June 11th, “Between Me And The Devil” was written and produced by guitarist Thomas Tull, and songwriter, producer Kevin Bowe (Etta James, Paul Westerberg and the Replacements). It is the first offering off of their upcoming sophomore album coming later this fall.

Ghost Hounds, are a rock 'n' blues band hailing from Pittsburgh, PA. The band's classic rock 'n' roll guitar tunes are the result of both Thomas Tull and Brooklyn native guitarist Johnny Baab, while the driving forces on bass and drums are Bennett Miller and Blaise Lanzetta, respectively with Joe Munroe on keys. Fronted by lead singer, Tré Nation, whose voice was simply made for rock.

The band has spent the last year gearing up for what is sure to be a summer to be remembered as far as rock goes. Following up their 2019 album, Roses are Black, is a new live album, Ghost Hounds Live, out now. Their forthcoming LP, A Little Calamity, is out September 3.
