NO blues - Black Cadillac

Review by Jessica Cushman

NO blues' album "Black Cadillac" is a unique blend of blues, Arabic music, and rock. The album showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend these genres together, creating a sound that is both familiar and unique.

The opening track, "Shepherd's Song," sets the tone for the album with its haunting melody and powerful vocals. "Ya Dunya" features a driving beat and Arabic influences, while "Black Cadillac" is a gritty blues-rock number that showcases the band's instrumental skills.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Oh Yeah Habibi," which features a catchy melody and a memorable chorus. The song is a perfect example of how NO blues can take traditional Arabic music and infuse it with modern elements.
