In the fall of 1999, the Daddies returned to the studio to record their fourth album, Soul Caddy . A loose concept album reflecting Perry’s disillusionment over the cultural zeitgeist and his experience with fame – as he described it, a “bittersweet” record about “being alienated and hoping to connect” – Soul Caddy marked a continuation of the band’s musically varied format, intended to introduce a truer perspective of the Daddies’ sound and personality to both their swing-based fans and a wider audience. Drawing from the rock and pop of the 1960s and 1970s, Soul Caddy interwove swing and ska with glam rock , soul , psychedelic pop , folk and funk.
