Cadillac Sky
Bible by the Bed
Bluegrass iconoclasts Cadillac Sky—Bryan Simpson, Matt Menefee, Mike Jump, Ross Holmes and Andy “Panda” Moritz––first came together in Texas in 2002, determined to bridge the gap between traditional and progressive bluegrass styles. The band is releasing its second album on Skaggs Family Records, Gravity’s Our Enemy, which hits stores Aug. 19. “U Stay Gone,” the album’s energetic kick-off, has a soulful mountain sound with a haunting “call and answer” chorus. Their definitive bluegrass style is further echoed in songs like “Wouldn’t Put It Past Love” and “It Won’t Be Over You.”

Life
One Flew South is comprised of Royal Reed, Chris Roberts and Eddie Bush, and their debut album is titled Last of the Good Guys. The three singer/songwriters had been involved in show business for years prior to hitting upon a perfect combination––and realizing a long-held dream of a band with three superbly matched vocalists. “From the first moment the three of us sang together, it felt like home,” declares Chris. The trio recorded Last of the Good Guys with the help of several top songwriters, most notably J.D. Souther, who wrote such Eagles classics as “Best of My Love” and “Heartache Tonight.”
