Fins,
Chrome and The Open Road-A Tribute To The Cadillac celebrates the ultimate
symbol of American success and excess with twenty one songs specifically
for this project and all about the classic American car. Some of the artists
who contribute songs to the disc include the late great blues master Little
Milton, Kim Wilson, Charlie Musselwhite, Jimmy Hall, Rosie Flores, Maria
Muldaur, Jim Lauderdale and Rory Block among others. Mr. Nick’s Blues Mafia
run thru “Look At That Cadillac” while Rosie Flores offers up her take
on Springsteen’s “Cadillac Ranch”. Bob Walsh turns “Brand New Cadillac”
into a horn driven blues romp instead of the more familiar punk anthem
by The Clash. Maria Muldaur shows her chops on a jazzy “Solid Gold Cadillac”
and Little Milton blows thru “I Ain’t Got You”. Jim Lauderdale steals the
show with “One Piece At A Time” about an auto factory worker who can’t
afford to buy a Cadillac but figures he can build it by stealing one piece
at a time only to find the various parts and model years don’t fit. For
