Kings Of Leon to Release 'Bigger Sounding' Third LP
Nashville sons-of-a-preacherman, Kings Of Leon, will return in March with their third LP, Because of the Times. Frontman Caleb Followill revealed to Spin magazine that the title is a play on the record's popularity gamble.
"If it's big, it's beacuse of the times; if it's a flop, it's because of the times."
Followill is promising that Times will be "bigger sounding" and "more anthemic" than 2004's Aha Shake Heartbreak. The album was produced and recorded in Nashville by Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Rufus Wainwtright) who also worked on Heartbreak and 2003's Youth & Young Manhood
Followill & Co.'s audience has been expanding thanks to recent tours with U2 and Bob Dylan. While on tour with U2, Bono apparently gave the Kings some elder statesmanly advice.
"Bono told us not to get married until we're off the road for a year in a house with a woman."
The non-married Kings play NME's Award Tour at the Astoria in London on Ferbruay 27, 2007.
