The Cadillac Three definitely loves to party, but they admit that sometimes they have to dial it back a little. “Some nights you got to take it easy, you know,” says Jaren. “Dierks always said, instead of partying harder, party smarter.’”
Steel guitarist Kelby Ray agrees and admits that sometimes he has to remove himself from the party. “I mean sometimes I have to make myself go to bed at 11:00,” he says, “and just get in the bunk and just disappear. Or some nights I’m up til four and I drink all of it.”
The band knows there’s a happy middle ground somewhere, as Kelby puts it, “We’re constantly trying to figure it out. Yeah there’s a fine line somewhere.”
For those nights when Kelby stays up way too late “Crackin’ Cold Ones with the Boys,” he says he can usually rally with the help of, “A lot of Advil (and) a lot more sparkling water in the bus.”
