“The years go Fast” A blistering 12 track album this time around from The Cadillac Three, Young & hungry kicks off, at first, I thought there’s a little tilt to the traditional southern approach to rock and roll. However classic taste of the southern feel returned with Double Wide Grave and Coming Down From You.
One of my favourite tracks on the album “The Worst” (apologies for the oxymoron) was written to please and it did very much. Followed by “Love Like War” and “The torch” – classic easy listening southern rock.
My favourite track on the album “Dressed up To Die” has a modern feel, with a modern sound. “Hillbilly” follows which I can only describe as pure commercial country. Next up is “This Town is a Ghost” and “Go to Bed Lonely” finely tuned and produced with definition.
This album ticks all the boxes from a fan’s perspective. “4 Chords and The Proof” is a short diddly and then finishing of the album is “Pistols of the Levee”. A mature album for all to enjoy.
The Years Go Fast overall is a fine slice of southern Rock with additional seasoning. Jaren Johnston’s vocals are top drawer, and the rhythm section comes across glued throughout the album. The band are currently on tour in the US. Hopefully the UK won’t have to wait to long to see the boys perform the album live.
