User Album Review
While this album may paint The Cadillac Three in different light, one of the best track on the album comes in this vein with “American Slang”. A sombre opening leads into a bombastic finish as they detail the vast different people across the USA but highlights the similarities which binds them together. Meanwhile the acoustic-driven “Love Me Like Liquor” has Johnston trading vocal barbs with Lori McKenna and she acts as the perfect foil for him, even if her vocals are a little low in the mix at times. Meanwhile the contemplative closing song (and title track) sounds like it could have come from Steven Tyler’s country-driven album from last year (which Johnston contributed to, coincidentally).
Legacy is strange album. It’s about the only way to describe it. The band have dropped their heavier sound for something far tamer. Essentially, it’s a good album, something to play in the background even if the more radio-friendly iteration of themselves feels a little soulless. There’s no denying they’ve presented an evolution on their sound and far more polished than they were a couple of years ago. However, by doing so, one of the most ballsy bands in recent years have castrated themselves.
