Get-your-blood-flowing old time
rock-n-roll by the Cadillac Kings
The Kings, accomplished middle-aged English musicians, formed their group 20 years ago. From their website:
The Cadillac Kings feature five of the UK’s top roots musicians. Mike Thomas: vocals, harmonica, slide guitar, Mal Barclay: lead guitar, vocals, Tim Penn: piano, accordion, vocals, Jason Reay: drums and Paul Cuff: double bass & Fender bass. Inspired by early rhythm & blues styles with a distinctly modern take lyric-wise, this is a band that has earned a reputation for wowing audiences from night clubs to festivals, from theatres to dance halls, the length & breadth of the UK & Europe, from the Canary Islands to the Arctic circle.
After Mr. Covid gets kicked out of our valley, and we can have a safe county fair, the Kings would be a crowd pleasing act to hire. Here’s a double dose of their hard driving music.
