Album Notes
Personnel: Matthew Menefee (vocals, guitar, banjo, piano, Mellotron, drums, percussion); Ross Holmes (vocals, guitar, mandolin, violin, melodica, Mellotron, percussion); Bryan Simpson (vocals, guitar, mandolin, violin); David Mayfield (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, Mellotron, percussion); Andy Moritz (vocals, piano, harmonium, acoustic bass, percussion).Audio Mixer: Dan Auerbach.Recording information: Akron Analog, Akron, OH.Photographer: Rachel Williamson.Cadillac Sky's first two albums came out on Skaggs Family Records, a label run by bluegrass superstar Ricky Skaggs, but Cadillac Sky doesn't fit easily into the bluegrass genre as you'll instantly understand when "Trapped Under the Ice," the album's opening track, comes roaring out of your speakers (or ear buds). The instruments are bluegrass to be sure -- acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and bass -- but the band plays them with the aggressive energy of rockers. Lead singer and main songwriter Bryan Simpson sings and wails like a crazed bluesman, and the clanging banjo, shrieking fiddle, and stomping guitar and bass fall somewhere between rock and classic '40s big-band swing. "3rd Degree," a tale of murder and jealousy, starts out with a fiddle mimicking the sound of a police siren. When the band kicks in, they build up the momentum of a midnight freight train bearing down on a car stalled on the tracks. Again the approach is as much rock, or even B-movie soundtrack, as it is bluegrass. "Trash Bag" features piano and Beatlesque doo wop harmonies, and an icy steel guitar makes "Part of My Heart" sound like a country lament, but the lyric is more grim and poetic than anything you're likely to hear coming out of Nashville. There are a few moments here that come close to traditional bluegrass. "Ballad of Restored Confidence" and "Pitiful Waltz" sound conventional on the surface, but as the titles imply, there's something a little deeper going on here than first meets the ear. The album was produced and recorded by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, in his basement analog studio. With the exception of a few overdubs, the session was tracked live and it captures the band's ragged virtuosity in all its unkempt glory. Unlike many bluegrass bands, Cadillac Sky's lyrics are peppered with modern references -- cell phones, plastic trash bags, graffiti, and high school traumas. Don't know what bluegrass purists think of this gang, but this is an acoustic band that any punk or rocker will love. ~ j. poet

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
