Kings of Leon - Boxed

The story of America’s Kings of Leon is as good as the band’s sound. Three brothers—Nathan, Caleb and Jared Followill—name their group after their preacher father, Leon, and, together with their cousin, Matthew Followill, cross Lynyrd Skynyrd-style Southern boogie with Strokes-like garage sounds to create a thrilling new rock hybrid. For newcomers, this CD set, compiling KOL’s first three formidable albums, is the perfect primer. For followers of the Followills, Boxed is rock-and-roll heaven in one nifty box.
