Blog Critics - March 2005

Cadillac Moon rocked the house at Cornelia Street Cafe last night in a return engagement. The eight-piece blues and soul combo squeezes onto (and spills off of) the tiny stage like they were born to it. Plenty of bands do the blues, soul and R&B thing, but few combine such a high level of professionalism with such infectious enthusiasm, and even fewer can write such good original material in that style. (A few well-chosen covers, like Van Morrison's "Cleaning Windows," fit right in to their mostly original set.) If you're in the New York/Long Island area, go see Cadillac Moon. I'd recommend them to Charles and Camilla, in fact. If they booked them for their wedding, they'd have such a good time they could forget all about their sourpuss Queen and those annoying paparazzi!
