Country gold AM memories echo in the truck tire rhythms rolling underneath Thank the Lord…..it’s The Pink Stones, the latest release from The Pink Stones. The band takes chances on a honky tonk beat as they find themselves waiting for dawn while ‘sitting on a white couch drinking warm red wine’ for “If I Can’t Win (With You)”. They spend a ‘first night’ in a “Hometown Hotel” as they slowly strum a soundtrack for “Real Sad Movies, Big Jet Planes” and quiet to a whisper for the memories in “Such a Sight”. 
The album was recorded in the band’s hometown of Athens, Georgia, co-produced by The Pink Stones frontman Hunter Pinkston alongside Henry Barbe (Deerhunter, Drive-By Truckers). Wyatt Ellis brings his buzz-worthy mandolin playing into Thank the Lord…it’s the Pink Stones for the “Thank the Lord” album opener. Thoughts of warmer times face the cold in “Summer Love (Winter’s Pain)” while The Pink Stones realize that feelings hang tight in “Hard to Kill”.
Hunter Pinkston describes his intentions for the album, stating that ‘I’ve never been religious, but I’ve always been fascinated with those early country guys who sang gospel tunes and wore suits with crosses on them even while they were getting into some pretty immoral stuff. I wanted this album to touch on both sides of that coin’. Heart and humor write the lines of the songs for Thank the Lord….it’s The Pink Stones while the band strum a dirt road sailor’s song as they exit the album with a “Pile of Memories”.
