Andrew W.K. - 55 Cadillac

Say what you will about Andrew W.K., but if you've only heard his 2001 debut I Get Wet, you're doing yourself a great disservice.  Whether you love or hate his mindless rock hits "Party Hard" and "I Love NYC" (we LOVE them), there's something for everyone in his other musical output.  Take, for example, my recent discovery of 55 Cadillac, an instrumental album featuring grandiose compositions and soundscapes largely performed on solo piano, with a few surprises.  Give a listen to "Cadillac", the album's closing track, embedded below.  And always remember, to quote the man himself, "The only real failure in life is not following your heart. That and not partying."
