QUOTES ABOUT CADILLAC SKY:

When the first strains of Cadillac Sky's "Born Lonesome" come pulsing out of the speakers, it's immediately apparent that there's a different kind of roots band on the scene—one wrapped in tradition, but not bound by it. That song, which opens their Skaggs Family Records debut, Blind Man Walking, has a high, lonesome sound that would do the great Ralph Stanley proud. And when they follow that up with "You Again," a song where they display the ferocious intensity of the great rock and roll bands, it's obvious Cadillac Sky is a band poised for greatness.
Their propulsive brand of roots music is the perfect marriage of tradition and innovation. This original approach comes from a deep-seated respect for tradition wrapped around an unbridled musical curiosity. There's no dichotomy in the band's sound, just a synthesis of the band's eclectic influences.
It only takes a quick listen to the band's debut to hear a band on the verge of greatness. But there's something else that sets the band apart, something that may not be immediately apparent. There is an understated spirituality that infuses everything the band does. It's one of the things that drew Ricky Skaggs to Cadillac Sky's music and ultimately resulted in signing them to Skaggs Family Records.
Cadillac Sky are believers—not only in their faith, but in the power of great music. They know music makes a difference. That's why they worked so hard to craft the heart-and-soul-stirring songs that make up Blind Man Walking. It's an amazing debut that heralds the arrival of a brand new star in the musical world. Believe.
