Youth & Young Manhood (CD)
Kings Of Leon
Amoeba Review
Joanna Ricco 05/26/2010
The breakout full-length album for these true country boys, 2003’s Youth and Young Manhood placed Kings of Leon on the Road to Critical Acclaim. As the kids all went crazy for garage rock and the colors red and white in particular patterns, Kings of Leon dared go against the grain. They threw a little dirt on things, scuffed them up . . . they made previously-un-cool-for-hipsters musical references to bands like The Allman Brothers. They scored an unlikely hit song with “Red Morning Light,” which wasn’t even the best track on the album (that distinction goes to “Genius.”) Granted, their southern roots grew out of Nashville, which has enough indie cred to start a colony. But Youth and Young Manhood delivers a fresh approach to indie rock that is at once delightfully carefree and totally careful.
