Hell To Pay is the latest album from Tyler Keith and the Apostles. It was recorded in two days at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, Mississippi. Here is what Tyler has to say about Hell to Pay: Many of the songs on the album came out of the weirdness and lonely times of a world-wide pandemic. By the time we were able to get together as a band to make the album we’d only played two shows in two years. Songs like “Castaway,” “Hell To Pay,” “Coming Apart” and “Nothing Left” capture something of the frustration and bewilderment that we felt. The record has no guitar overdubs or extra stuff save for an organ or piano here and there. One notable exception is the duet with Laurie Stirratt (Blue Mountain, Teardrop City) on “Nothing Left.” Sometimes you may say your prayers like you used to. What could it hurt? Ages ago, I recorded an album, The Devil’s Hit List, with my old band the Preacher’s Kids. The original recordings burned up in the fire at Easley McCain Studio in Memphis. I’d really loved a particular take of the song “Ghost Writer” that survived on a scratch CD so I used it back then. It sounded like it had been through a fire. Not in a good way. Lots of metallic digital hiss. We decided to bring it back to life on this record. To redeem it. Resurrection is a theme here. And waiting for the future to come. Being ready for it. Biding our time. Thus the final track on the record, “Future Fix.” If you missed your train it’s coming back around the bend. Maybe not too many more times, though.
