Legendary USA southern rock ‘n’ rollers Preacher Stone are excited to release the brooding and reflective new single and video ‘The Devil You Know‘ on all good digital platforms now. The track is taken from their highly anticipated gritty and profound new album ‘By The Horns’ released October 17 on CD/vinyl and available to pre-order now direct from the band HERE.
Frontman and troubadour Ronnie Riddle speaks candidly on the song, “The Devil You Know is one of the darker tracks on the record. It deals with some of the voices in your head, some of the influences that we’re exposed to in our daily lives from social media, the overload of information rightly and wrongly and how it affects us, how it makes us see ourselves, life and becoming our own worst enemy. We can’t control what happens, but we can control our reaction and that can be a challenge at times.“
Opening up on the overarching story behind the album, “As cliché as it is, we literally grabbed this one by the horns as we have been through a lot of personal turmoil, angst and grief alongside incredible highs over recent years. It was absolutely terrifying and exhilarating at the same time as we really got up close and personal with ourselves, sometimes doing that you may not like what you see but it’s important for growth. We’ve 100% unapologetically made the type of rock ‘n’ roll record that we grew up listening to in the 70’s, it rocks from the off and we rode it like we stole it.“
The 9 track collection was recorded at the legendary Gat3 Studios in Charlotte North Carolina, produced and engineered by the multiple Grammy winning Glenn Tabor (Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Kid Rock). “Making this record has without a doubt been one of the best times in the studio and the most cathartic experience that we’ve had. Glenn called a band meeting, we were all looking at each other thinking “is he allowed to call meetings now?” He said to us that he had the feeling that we wanted to take the governors off of this one, try things we hadn’t before and just let it rip. We had different set ups for micing drums and amps for different songs, very little overdubs or layering, it’s raw, honest and in your face as we had a lot to say!“
Kicking boots out of North Carolina USA, the band’s high-octane, 200 proof, rock-n-roll guitar-driven songs about the common man with heart-wrenching smoky bar frequenting tales and the swagger of their live performances have earned them a legion of faithful fans known as “The Congregation”. Having endeavoured through adversity in the past, alongside Ronnie the brotherhood of the band is steeped in musical heritage with Ben Robinson (guitar), Darrell Whitt (guitar) Jim Bolt (bass), and Wyatt (drums). Previously their song ‘Not Today‘ was featured on two seasons of the hit TV series Sons of Anarchy and lengthy tours include across the USA, UK and Europe sharing stages with legendary household names such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Deep Purple and more to rapturous acclaim from fans and critics alike.
