Label: Dualtone

Genre: Folk, Americana

Comments: No wonder the critics love these guys: Texas-based Cadillac Sky offer stellar Americana that will please fans of recent playlist favorites Mumford & Sons. Produced with a gentle touch by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach -- no wonder it's so darn good -- these guys channel but don't rip off Fleet Foxes on "Trash Bag" and the Avett Brothers on "Human Cannonball." As the Chicago Sun-Times puts it, "This quintet offers a mountain of musical riches: close harmony singing, propulsive melodies with innovative tempo changes, hot banjo picking from Matt Menefee and intriguing original material from the pen of the group’s lead singer and mandolin player, Bryan Simpson." Well worth a listen.
