Sweet Southern Spirit Commentary

We are celebrating the release of the Cadillac Three's new album Tabasco and Sweet Tea, And you just heard Head Over Wheels, Which was basically a metaphor of a woman in The shape of a car. And the next one We're gonna talk about is Sweet Southern Spirit, And the thing that kinda hit me when I Got to this point in the album is that There are a lot of sexy women on this Album in these songs. So tell me about Sweet Southern Spirit. We have amazing wives. Sweet Southern Spirit is easy to write when you Have something to lean on like that. There's a endless book of things that you can Pull from as a songwriter when you go through Life with a woman like I have or w- With a woman like he has or with-Mm-hmm A woman like he has, and it's fun because You know at the end of it, if you Do it right, you can't wait to play it For her. You know what I mean? So that's so much fun to look for. So you try to write it as good as You can. Like, Sweet Southern Spirit, I think that's Probably one of my favorite songs on the record Just because when we're playing it live, like, we've Been rehearsing this stuff, and, like, every time we Get done with it, I look at Neil, I Look over at Kevin, I'm like, "That's a hit." I mean, it's funky and weird, and it's a Cadillac song. Probably nobody's gonna play it, but That's a hit. You know what I mean? It's Exciting. 'Cause it's got all the stuff that we, That we care about-Yeah in it. It's got the girls, which obviously is most of Our world outside of, like, the kids and stuff, And then it's got, like, Skynyrd. It's got all the, it's got all the stuff We grew up on. When I'm with her, I'm Watching Lynyrd Skynyrd front and center saying, Hey, lean and shake that thing.
