Jackson, MS - Apollo Music Group recording artists, Red Hill City, release their new CD ‘This Time Next Year’, which contains 11 original songs in the Alternative Rock music genre and range from soothing acoustic harmonies to driving rock.
One cut, Fondren District, is about a relationship that ends on the streets of the historical, cultural district in Jackson by that name where art thrives. The title track, the folksy ‘This Time Next Year’, offers soothing harmonies backed by acoustic melodies and presents an entertaining throw-back to the flower children of the ‘70s and the healing power of time.
The driving beat of ‘The Engineers’ explodes with riffs reminiscent of a sci-fi world, while the melodious ‘Belfry’ tells the story of star-crossed lovers who declare their forbidden love from a belfry tower to their families in the churchyard below. ‘Bottled Bliss’ is a haunting call to save the world from the fabricated excesses of consumerism. ‘And We Will Turn to Ashes’ contrasts the duality of the struggles of everyday life and faith in the hereafter with a soliloquy of melodious harmonies replaced by driving rock riffs of reality.
Other tracks included on the CD are ‘Caster Car, “June 2nd’, ‘Sunrise Coming’ and ‘Bird’s Eye View of an Autumn Fairground’. All in all, the CD showcases the band’s versatility, depth and artistry with the unbelievable musical talent of these five performers. Tyler King’s vocals are mesmerizing.
TAXI, the worlds’ leading Artist &Repertoire company, raved about the album, stating that the “Lyrical imagery is unique, melodies soar, very tight performances…brilliant!” They are definitely a band to watch and one whose performance will remind you of why you love music. It takes us places we have all been and provides an artistic salve for the pains and joys of life.
Red Hill City formed in the latter months of 2004 when Tyler King (vocals and guitar), Josh Myers (drums) and Ben McCain (keyboard) decided to step away from their earlier punk rock roots and venture into a more alternative/modern rock sound. With the addition of Joseph Regan on guitar and Gant O'Brien on bass in early 2005 they found that a broad range of musical influences and experimental sounds would catapult their new concepts to another level.
Red Hill City released their debut CD "Ill Attempts" in 2006. While it served as an outlet to the young groups’ newly found vision, it did not satisfy their experimental aspirations.
Work on their latest CD ‘This Time Next Year’ began in the Spring of 2007. It was during this project that they were able to begin designing and crafting their new sound. The album was tracked and mixed at Cool Water Studio with Dan Helmintoller and mastered with Bob Katz. Artwork for the CD was created by Clay Hardwick.

Hi from Indianola, MS, home of BB King and the new $16M BB King Blues Museum! BB King Homecoming is Friday, June 5th and it's going to be a very special one. BB has recently purchased the famous Club Ebony (where Keb Mo' showed up for the Sunday Evening Jam last week!) and will be playing there after his Concert in the Park. It is incredible to see the King of the Blues work at such close range.
