Cage the Elephant is once again in the limelight with their cut Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked being featured as the Single of Week on iTunes.  The coveted position allows users to download the featured track for free.

According to the internet music store, “Each week we find a track from an artist or band we’ve been enjoying and bring it to you, for free, as our Single of the Week.  Cage the Elephant is a five-piece from Kentucky that caught our attention with this roots-y blues-rock number.  Frontman Matt Shultz and his six- string-toting brother Brad display effortless chemistry on “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” with Matt riding a rousing slide-guitar lick with his slightly sneering, conversational vocal delivery reminiscent of a young G. Love.”

And music lovers have responded with 2557 ratings averaging 3 1/2 stars as well as 669 written reviews.

Cage’s self titled album has also been in the iTunes spotlight as an exclusive pre release from last week’s New Music Tuesday and has garned a 4 1/2 star rating from 389 users in the iTunes community.

Though the album was released in the UK last year, the iTunes release represents the first US availablity.

This month Cage the Elephant is touring from Rhode Island to California and May will see their return to an intensive UK tour schedule.
