“When I write, besides coming up with the music and the riff, I have to have a story,” Tull explains. Ghost Hounds even included a few cover tracks to pay particular homage to the stories of blues and rock giants-with their own Ghost Hounds stamp on it of course. Each song tells an old story in a new light. It’s “about having a new-old sound” and “that sort of old blues rock ‘n’ roll loose swagger,” Tull says. You Broke Me is a nine-track album that really steps into the band’s blues leanings. The band’s latest offering, You Broke Me (released in May 2022), is one such release and it might be their most intricate yet. With the Delta blues legend as one of their many muses, Ghost Hounds has released several musical offerings that drip with finetuned storytelling and the fiery wailings of rock.
Sort of a nod to him in that, that story.” So that’s where the name the Ghost Hounds came from that’s how I came up with it. I always thought that was cool, a cool image. “And in his music when he’s talking about selling your soul to the devil and the deal he made the crossroads and all of those things, he would talk about hellhounds on his trail. “The name itself was drawn from the Robert Johnson legend,” he says. Tull remembers that when the band first came together, he wanted to tip his hat to the music that inspired him. The Pittsburgh-hailing group is made up of Tull (guitar/songwriter), Tré Nation (vocals), Johnny Baab (guitar), Bennett Miller (bass), Blaise Lanzetta (drums), and Joe Munroe (keys). Today, though, Tull is surrounded by like-minded musicians as one member of the rock ‘n’ blues band, Ghost Hounds.
Tull’s attraction to the guitar sparked a love story between the guitarist and music that would span decades. “Country music to blues to rock ‘n’ roll-I just have always been drawn to the sounds that you could get out of a guitar.” “There’s something about the guitar to me,” Thomas Tull tells American Songwriter.
