Prenup Hell to Pay (Yep Roc)
The first time I listened to Hell to Pay (last week) by the cynically named Prenup, I thought it sounded like college – 1992 or so, when “Life Is a Highway” and “Girlfriend” were all over my FM dial, and there is nothing not to like about that. But I was moving, and the movers stole my iPod, and most of my CDs are gone from when I loaned them to my dad in the nursing home that jacked them all, and here was this Prenup CD, right there in my suitcase fresh from abroad, and I listened for four days as I unpacked a disgraceful amount of shit for me and my son and the cozy comforts of Prenup soaked into my bones. It helped that I may have made out the week before with singer Fiachna O’Braonain (ex–Hothouse Flowers) in London after I’d met him through mutual friends in Paris, and if I read that sentence I’d want to punch me too. On the seventh listen, Hell to Pay turned into a time machine; all of a sudden, it wasn’t college anymore; it was 1987, and I was a high school freshman, hearing in the sexy whispery bass vocals “Somewhere Down the Crazy River”-era Robbie Robertson. Then I was minus-three, hearing a little bit of Jerry Garcia, circa Workingman’s Dead, and then Levon Helm singing “Cripple Creek” channeled from even further into my pre-nativity. I’ve now listened to Hell to Pay one million times and expect to eventually be transported back to the Big Bang. This is not masterful songwriting – it repeats itself a lot – but it is sad and sexy and heartfelt and soul and blues and rock, and hotshot lyrics are for weenies. All you need is a good yowl, a whisper, some purty guitar, and a fine memory.
