The Cadillac Three are a recently formed southern rock band that has blown up with country fans of all ages across the country. There a band of three dudes who are extremely passionate about what they play and only sing about what they absolutely believe. These three gents are true southerners that care deeply about story telling in music, which recently, unfortunately, has become a lost art. "Country Music" today is kinda of bullshit pop if you ask me. Its like the labels are telling to the country artists some random bullshit with some country words and things to a pop rock rock beat.
“You don’t get story song-telling in rock radio if you listen to it right now."
"We made our first record ourselves in a basement studio here in Nashville and it got picked up by Big Machine and [label head Scott Borchetta] and they have always supported the way we really sound,” Mason said.
"It’s faster, a dirty riff. And basically is me finding a reason to call a girl a ‘party,'” said Johnston, laughing. “You can take that any way you want to.”
The thing I like most about these guys is they chose a label that supports the music they want to put out. Musicians nowadays sell out to labels and put out garbage for money and because it sound good and people will like it. The Cadillac Three make the music they want to make and sing about what they believe in and their label supports that. That is something the music industry lacks today and needs desperately.

I have listened to this band and completely agree with your statements here. As you said they make the music they want to make and they are being successful at doing just that. This band has emerged from the bottom to one of the most popular country music bands out there. Reaching hundreds of young kids and adults this band will eventually hit it big with the great songs and fever to get to the top.
ReplyDeleteI love this band. I like how you included their beliefs and appreciate to know more about their story. I am not particularly a country fan but they have a different vibe to them. I think it is so important to choose the right label for each band. I believe this was a good label for them.
