| 95North Recording Corporation Tears Up a New Road in Music History 95North Recording Corporation tears up a new road in music history. Their latest CD, "Fins, Chrome, and the Open Road - A Tribute to the Cadillac" races into history with a unique license. For the first time in the automobile giant's 100+ years, General Motors Corporation has endorsed a music project in tribute to their famous Cadillac. Their decision to embrace this project was based on the incredible pool of talent, as well as the high standards of music production held at 95North Records. Perhaps no other icon in American Pop Culture has been more glorified in song than the Cadillac. The 21 songs on the CD were recorded specifically for this project, and remind us of the glory years -- the great American "Dream Machines, " that represent a more innocent time in our history -- and will drive the listener to a fun and lighthearted place. For over a century, the Cadillac image has defined what is hip and cool, and this is also where the project meets that image. Original tunes along with new versions of popular hits, performed by indie artists as well as by Blues and Roots Country legends, capture that timelessly cool image from start to finish. "Fins, Chrome, and the Open Road - A Tribute to the Cadillac" includes 21 tunes from these incredible and legendary acts: "Look At That Cadillac" - Mr. Nick's Blues Mafia "Cadillac Mama" - David Maxwell "Solid Gold Cadillac" - Maria Muldaur "You're My Cadillac" - Nanette Workman "Ride" - Tom Gillam "Slick Black Cadillac Daddy" - The Sidewinders "Brand New Cadillac" - Bob Walsh "Mighty Fine Cruisin" - Charlie Musselwhite "Caddy Daddy" - Robin Rogers "Cadillac Tracks" - Jimmy Hall "Don't Touch My Caddy" - Rory Block "Bring Back That Cadillac" - The Melroys "I Should Be Driving A Cadillac" - Bob Halperin "Cadillac Ranch" - Rosie Flores "One Piece At A Time" - Jim Lauderdale "Cadillac Baby" - Chaz DePaolo featuring The Groundhogs "Cadillac Forever" - Ottomatic Slim "Cadillac Assembly Line" - George Kelly "Cadillac Blues" - Monster Mike Welch "I Ain't Got You" - Little Milton "My Daddy's Cadillac" - Todd Thibaud 95North Recording Corporation President, Bill Hurley, stated, "It's not just about Cadillac owners or enthusiasts, although there are literally millions of them ... it's about music fans laughing, and reminiscing about their own childhood memories. This music could make a bronze statue tap its feet. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together." write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
