Thanks to Dierks Bentley having them as openers on his tour a year or so ago, The Cadillac Three (then known as The Cadillac Black) have become permanent fixtures on the playlist of many! The three band members Neil Mason (drums, percussion & vocals), Kelby Ray (dobro, bass steel guitar & vocals) and Jaren Johnston (guitar & vocals) all hail from Nashville. Johnston has co-written Keith Urban’s #1 “You Gonna Fly” as well as songs for Bentley, Tim McGraw, Jake Owen and others.
The music of The Cadillac Three has been described as ‘country fuzz’: a mix of country and southern rock with bits and pieces of other genres thrown in for good measure. Add it all up and it’s great music!
Their new single is also the first for their new label, Big Machine Label Group. They certainly continue the country rockin’ sound on “The South” on which they get vocal assists from Dierks, Florida Georgia Line as well as Mike Eli of the Eli Young Band. It’s a song that’s really “all about the south” and it’s components from the red clay to the magnolias to the diners.
Check out he full review from Got Country Online here, they gave it a 4.5 star rating!
“Boots and buckles, red clay and sand
My point ain’t subtle here I’m a southern man
Where the beer seems colder and women seem hotter
Where the world don’t seem so damn modern
Where a good ole’ boy like me still has a chance
Aw this is where I was born and this is where I’ll die…its all about the south.”
The single has just been released on iTunes, and you can check it out right now by clicking here.
