Single Review The Cadillac Three "Party Like You"

I was first introduced the the Cadillac Three in 2012 when Dierks Bentley had them (as The Cadillac Black, one of their previous incarnations) opening select dates of his tour. Their dirty, gritty sound, as well as Jaren's half mumbled vocals, was like nothing I had heard before. My initial "what in the h-- is this" quickly turned into "this is good music" after their first song. 

The trio, comprised of Jaren Johnston, Kelby Ray and Neil Mason, stay true to their unique brand of "country fuzz" on their latest single "Party Like You." The song, written by Jaren along with Jon Nite and Jimmy Robbins, lyrically doesn't offer much that you haven't heard before: there's a girl that has him "buzzin'," and he knows he's lucky that she is giving him the time of day (er, night). What sets the song apart is the distinctive combination of Jaren's delivery (especially the rapid fire chorus) meshed with the thumping drums and driving guitar that'll have you "rockin' and rollin'".

"You got me rockin', rollin', like New Orleans
Cut off blues like damn you know it
Little bit of drink, little wink wink
Tell me what you think
I've been lookin' for a party like you
You get dancing hearts get stolen
Love the way the night is goin'
Little bit of drink, little wink wink
Tell me what you think
I've been lookin' for a party like you"

Is "Party Like You" radio friendly? I honestly don't know, but I do know that it's a song you should definitely give a listen.
If you can catch them live, go. They're a band to which the phrase "melt your face off" actually applies.

"Party Like You" is available here.
