I’ve been meaning to write about this song for a few weeks. These guys have kind of been bringing something different to country music. I would say we’ve heard this type of country before on the radio, but it’s been probably four decades. Check this one out and see where you think the influences are.
Party Like You – The Cadillac Three
The look is something different. You have the long haired southern boys singing the kind of music that makes you think of The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd. That’s where I think the influence, but for rocking songs like this The Cadillac Three seems to ramp things up to another level and it’s certainly not something you hear in country right now.
The guys didn’t really reach the upper regions of the charts with their first single. This one is starting its climb and I’m not really sure how far it will go. Country fans are certainly open to party songs right now. It seems like every song on the chart is about a party or something, but this one has a little different sound.
And that might be what pushes it over the edge. I don’t know if it’ll be a huge radio hit, but I think people are going to download this one and crank it whether they’re partying out on some dead end road or at somebody’s house on the weekend.
What do you think?

I’m not even a life long country rocker but his song could turn me into one. I liked this one as soon as I heard it and I only heard part of it ( on an episode of Yellowstone).! I looked it up and listened to the whole thing and now it’s one of my favorite songs! I have looked up TC3 and learned more about them too – even listening to their albums. Think I found a new fav band. I’m a RnR girl for 4 decades and would listen to only a rare southern country- rock song ( lynyrd skynyrd) but these guys have now definitely won me over!
