Number 24
Kings of Leon
"Youth and Young Manhood"
Released: July 7th 2003
Key Tracks: "Red Morning Light" / "California Waiting" / "Molly's Chambers"
Before they became the polished radio hitmakers we know today, there was a time when Kings of Leon were four hairy southern sons of preachers, who really knew how to put a dirty, scuzzy rock n roll song together.
Still in their teens and early twenties, Kings of Leon's "Youth and Young Manhood" is a red raw garage rock record, still sounding as fresh as a daisy, yet could have come straight from the late sixties at the same time. If "Red Morning Light" didn't make you believe in rock n roll again, you seriously must have lost your soul.
The band have become more polished, and less raw over the years, but this debut shows the real, naked talent that the band had back then, and still do to a certain extent now.
