Music Minute - Ghost Hounds: First Last Time

 

The new single “Last Train To Nowhere” was just released from GHOST HOUNDS. The rock and blues-fueled song comes ahead of the group's fourth studio album, FIRST LAST TIME, out July 28 on Gibson Records; pre-save the album HERE.

“Last Train To Nowhere” comes to life with explosive guitar riffs, complemented by ineffable vocals from lead singer Tré Nation as he tells the story of a man confronting the fact that he lacks purpose, a legacy, and a moral compass. These themes of desolation and unfulfillment are explored further on the band’s forthcoming album, FIRST LAST TIME. The 10-track album is a masterclass in blues rock, with the band feeling invigorated after touring with The Rolling Stones in 2022. On the new song, guitarist/songwriter Thomas Tull explained, “That’s one of my favorite songs that I've ever written. I wrote it on an acoustic, and the music just came together. Lyrically, it’s about a guy who’s reflecting on his life. He's gotten older, and he’s had a varied career, if you want to call it that. He talks about laying bricks and doing all these odd jobs. He’s not someone who worked at a company or was a teacher or a fireman that can say, ‘This is what I did with my life's work.’ This guy's life's work was whatever work he could get. And he never settled down, never had kids. So, he's thinking about that last train ride, or whatever metaphor you want to use there, and he's starting to think, ‘I'm not sure I'm gonna leave any legacy at all.’ And what does that feel like? That’s the story of that song.” On Thursday, July 27, GHOST HOUNDS will celebrate with an official album release party and performance at the Gibson Garage in downtown Nashville. Stay tuned for more tour dates to be announced soon.

Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, GHOST HOUNDS plays blues-inspired rock in such a way that proves that the genre is not only alive but thriving for the next generation of rock fans.   GHOST HOUNDS--features Thomas Tull (guitars/songwriting), Johnny Baab (guitars), Bennett Miller (bass), Blaise Lanzetta (drums), and is fronted by the powerful lead vocals of singer Tré Nation--have released three studio albums to date. Their debut Roses Are Black (2019) generated millions of streams and received acclaim from Billboard, American Songwriter, and more. In 2021 the band released their sophomore album, A Little Calamity, showcasing the band’s classic rock chops, that included the infectious track and hit single, “Good Old Days.” Soon after came the band’s 2022 album, You Broke Me, a perfect testimony to GHOST HOUNDS’ ability to blend classic blues rock with modern influences. The band has had plenty of time to refine their sound on the road, having supported legendary acts including The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Garth Brooks, and Bob Seger on major global tours.    Currently, the band is gearing up to release their fourth album, FIRST LAST TIME which will be released on July 28 via Gibson Records--the music label which delivers guitar-driven music to the forefront of culture--in partnership with Firebird Label Services for distribution. Pre-save the new album FIRST LAST TIME HERE, and listen to three new singles released from GHOST HOUNDS so far, "Make It Shake," "Dirty Angel," and "Last Train To Nowhere" HERE, HERE and HERE. GHOST HOUNDS’ fourth album marks the second official album release on Gibson Records, and follows Slash Ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators’ acclaimed fourth full-length album titled 4, which was released last year.
