The new track, featuring guest vocals from chart-topping singer-songwriter Elvie Shane and virtuoso fiddling from Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show), marks the first release for the quartet in nearly two years. Dripping with grit, the mid-tempo stomper grooves along smoothly before launching into a double time breakdown in the bridge that showcases TC3’s classic genre-bending flair.
“I’ve been a fan of The Cadillac Three since before that was their name. So, when I got the invitation to join them on the road for a weekend of writing, the answer was easy,” says Elvie. “’Hillbilly’ was born the second day on the road. To me, it’s a touch of TC3 roots and a lot of where I come from. It’s a cautionary tale about how easily you can fall into the trap of substance abuse coming from small rural towns like as the one I live in now. I believe it has the right amount of grit and rock n roll to reach the intended audience. And I’m so proud to be on a song with a group I’m truly a huge fan of.”
