THE CADILLAC THREE- "Country fuzz"

THE CADILLAC THREE- "Country fuzz"

Well i guess we saw it coming. The CT are becoming not only a country act (something i really support) but also a modern country act, with elements from other musical genres like rap and pop, that makes me feel questioning their musical taste from time to time. "Labels" is a fine example of a song that has the modern country/synth pop elements that makes it equally intriguing and appealing as it estranges a more traditional listener like myself. While Kid Rock decided to move the other way, CT decide form hard rock and countrified Southern rock to modernize their sound and it worlds but not in all the cases. 'Riaise hell' has this modern feeling, that makes country music great for a Saturday night for Nashville to New York, but listening to Beck and "Loser" in the 90s was not my cup of tea and still isn't , although the low slow tempo and the country elements unified in a pretty interesting and mesmerizing song. I have listened the album more than a dozen times and still can make up my mind.

  Its different, exploring from song to song new sounds and territories, just like having two bands in the same studio recording. If you re in to the more traditional  Southern/Country sound, songs like "Back home", "Hard out there for a country boy" will definitely speak to you. If you re more in to the FM country pop of the 00s , the album has again something to give  to you. Well i guess , been at the South of Europe doesn't help and i can always gob ack to my BLACKBERRY SMOKE, LYNYRD SKYNYRD albums, but i must admit this is a damn honest attempt to diversify their sound and they know how to write a catchy tune. So i ll give them a 7, cause its never too late to be a country boy, if you re in to more classic Southern rock,country sounds ..then make it a 6.5

6,5 for the traditional
