"The Years Go Fast" for The Cadillac Three

The country fuzz trio also released the lead single, "Young and Hungry," on Friday.

"'Young and Hungry' is actually a song that we've known since the beginning of this band," drummer Neil Mason said. "It was originally by The Jane Shermans, which was a band featuring the song's producer, Angelo, and his wife, Eulene. We loved that song forever, and Jaren had the idea to take it and insert the story of him and his wife into it."

"When you say, 'The years go fast,' it really makes sense," front man Jaren Johnston said. "We've been together a long time, in some shape or fashion. We met when we were 14 or 15, in high school. I think the track kind of embodies the whole album. I'm so thankful that we came across that idea, because it's probably the most uplifting thing on the record."

In 2020 the Nashville trio of Johnston, Mason and Kelby Ray released a pair of albums in "Country Fuzz" and "Tabasco & Sweet Tea," then entered upheaval.

"We put out 31 songs in one year. It was like, let's give people a breather. Let's give us a breather," Johnston said. "We were coming off COVID and then my dad passed away. It's a whole different life now. Talk about having some shit to write about."

"This record does have a lot of growth, a lot of hurt and heartbreak," said Mason, who is the drummer. "We are a little more grown up now, but we're still doing the same thing we were doing in the beginning."

The track list was not released.
