Country music act Tyler Childers and The Food Stamps will unveil their new triple album 'Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?' this month.

Announced on Thursday, the triple album will be released on September 30 on Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records. The triple album will feature eight songs in three different styles: Hallelujah version, Jubilee version, and Joyful Noise version. The Hallelujah and Jubilee versions of “Angel Band” can be heard below.

Childers said this about the forthcoming release:

“I grew up Baptist and I was scared to death to go to hell. And a lot of that stuck with me. Filtering through that and trying to find the truth, and the beauty, and the things you should think about and expelling all that nonsense has been something I’ve spent a lot of time on. This is a collection that came together through those reflections. In a lot of ways, this is processing life experiences in the different philosophies and religions that have formed me, trying to make a comprehensive sonic example of that.

Working with the same song three different ways is a nod to my raising, growing up in a church that believes in the Holy Trinity: The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and what that means. The Father being the root, the place from which everything comes from, and The Son coming to free up some of those things, allowing it to be more open and welcoming. And then you have the Holy Ghost once The Son is gone — that feeling that’s supposed to keep us sustained until we are reunited, in whatever way that looks.

Message wise, I hope that people take that it doesn't matter race, creed, religion and all of that like — the most important part is to protect your heart, cultivate that and make that something useful for the world.”
