Kevin K Releases 33rd Solo Album “Cadallac Man”

In 2020 the world was in lock-down. As well as dealing with the imposed restrictions, NYC punk veteran Kevin K was also grieving the loss of his beloved father and facing a future with no financial certainty and the very real prospect of homelessness. Armed with a bundle of cigars, a never-ending glass of whisky and his trusty Les Paul, he hunkered down in the studio and began to write and record. A rejuvenated Kevin K has now returned with the gargantuan twenty song album, Cadallac Man, that is out now via Vicious Kitten Records. In many ways, Cadallac Man is for Kevin K what Exile On Main St was for the Rolling Stones or what the White Album was for the Beatles as it ranges across a number of different styles, with Kevin K playing every instrument on every song.

Thematically, some of the songs have a reflective or observational quality. There are songs about growing up to the years of living as a musician in NYC. There are songs about loss, covid lockdowns and dystopian state of the world and hopelessness. There’s even the ultimate tribute to the Ramones on No Ramones. Kevin K comes full circle and closes the album with A New Life, a song of optimism about the future ahead after overcoming adversity.
