Recording Tales of the Hard Way at Hamtone Studio was more than just making a record for us—it was a reckoning. Gods Outlaw went into the studio determined to capture the raw truth of who we are, leaning hard into the grit and soul of classic outlaw country while letting a modern groove push it forward. Hamtone gave us the space to chase real tones, real performances, and real emotion—no shortcuts, no polish for the sake of polish. Every note, every lyric was tracked with intention, honoring the sounds that raised us while still sounding like the band we are today.
Each song on Tales of the Hard Way stands on its own as a chapter from the tougher seasons of our lives. These are stories of struggle, survival, bad decisions, hard lessons, and the moments that shaped us when the road wasn’t smooth. We wanted the album to feel lived-in—like worn boots and late nights—honest music for people who’ve been through it and kept moving anyway. This record is Gods Outlaw telling our truth the only way we know how: loud, unapologetic, and straight from the hard way.
