Dirty Rice [CD]

Like well-seasoned wayfarers, the Mad Caddies have spent years roaming the musical landscape and thoughtfully collecting ingredients from the varied regions they encounter. A scoop of reggae, a pinch of ska, a dash of Dixieland, a splash of ragtime, all mixed into a punk-rock stock and finished with a dollop of pure melodies; the Caddies cook up an olio of music like no other. The Cajun dish DIRTY RICE is the perfect metaphor of the Caddies sound and it's the apt title of their latest full-length album.
