Spending their formative years playing music together in basements and garages laid the foundation forTHE CADILLACTHREE to put their own spin on each new record.They open atime capsule of their musical history together and expand onsome of the grooves from COUNTRY FUZZ release with a new offering titled TABASCO & SWEET TEA via Big MachineRecords. Dropping the sonic swirl with little warning, the new albumis a welcome interruption to the mundane and stress felt around the globe.


“As we finished the last record, we knew we were only tapping the surface with songs like ‘The Jam’ for where we could gonext musically and found ourselves inspired to dive into these sounds that we had never explored before as a band,” explains drummer Neil Mason. “We’ve always had a lot of influences, but ultimately found ourselves thinking about what we were listening to in high school--The Meters, Stevie Wonder, Medeski Martin & Wood and John Scofield.”


Lead singer and guitarist Jaren Johnston continues, “this album is a science project ... constantly moving in different directions but keeping one cohesive feel throughout. We kind of have this innate thing going after all these years so it’s cool to kind of stretch into some new musical spaces with elements of a DJ set that flows from track to track, but mixed with 80’s Funk vibes and jam-band flow over hardcore Country lyrics.


”TABASCO & SWEET TEA explores hybrid sounds throughout the 11 modern-meets-nostalgia tracks. Connecting with their fans and creating no matter the obstacles, TC3 launchedthis new project at $3.99 for the first week so it is more accessible during a time when many are not spending as much on music, but need it now more than ever.


“We wouldn’t be where we are without our fans,” shares bassist Kelby Ray. “We lost the ability to tour and know many of our fans have also lost their ability to work consistently this year so we wanted to find a way to provide this album as cost effectivelyas we could. Our hope is that everyone who wantsTABASCO & SWEET TEA can get it without breaking the bank.”


Jaren’s gritty vocals explode overun expected guitar riffs as Kelby pounds out taut yet voluptuous bass lines mixed Neil’s gnarly, syncopated rhythms. Their boisterous,yet good-natured freewheeling vibe erupts with the title track and caps off the sequence with a calling-card biography, “Sabbath On Cornbread” to reinforce the electricity oft heir live show:


These 3 longhairs born and raised here
Gonna keep on changin’ the game
Sticks and skins, slide and steel
Guitar man 3 hippie hillbillies from Tennessee
Keepin’ it heavy, keepin’ it real
Best damn band in Country, you best believe
You ainʼt never seen nothinʼ like The Cadillac Three


Known across the globe for their unpredictable concerts–equally impressive and amped in a sweaty club or festival mainstage–TC3 delivers.


Maybe it’s a sign of the times this projectis released now, as playlists reflect listeners finding comfort in old favorites when times are tough.TC3 finds the common ground interweaving traditions of American popular musicand proving that new can still fee lclassic without being derivative yet simultaneously casting a vision for good times ahead.
