Based on the herky-jerky single "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked," which did well on the U.K. singles chart, Kentucky's Cage the Elephant enjoyed a flush of success their first time out. Their 2008 debut combines jam-band earthiness with powerhouse riffing, and a spirited, shambolic approach to indie songcraft. Producer: Jay Joyce Engineer: Jason Hall   Artist Overview While Cage the Elephant wrap bluesy Zep-and-Stones rock riffs around sly urban dance beats in a manner that would make a 1990s Madchester mother proud, the five-member band is actually from the American heartland: Bowling Green, Kentucky to be specific. And with Matt Schultz's vocals delivered with a lilt reminiscent of the Stone Roses' Ian Brown it's little surprise that the alternative rockers found radio time in England first, scoring multiple hits in the U.K. in 2008, before crossing back over to become stateside hitmakers.
