Candy for the Ears and Eyes


Readers of the online music mag gigwise.com have voted Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill as the sexiest man in rock. Hells yes they did. If I was blind, like I had my eyes gouged out of my face like Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, I'd still be able to tell you that Caleb Followill is one.sexy.bitch.

It's that voice, that voice!!!!!

Even in speaking form, it's pure sex. I'm not usually partial to a Southern accent on a man. On a woman it's charming like on the incomparable Blanche Deveraux or those fabulous Southern belles of Steel Magnolias, but on a man? Meh. Give me a Boston or Irish accent any day of the week. I could listen to an Irish dude say "park the car in the garage" all.night.long. Irish is my kryptonite but Southern accents do nothing for me. Except young Caleb's. His accent? It's pure, unadulterated porn for the ears. It's ear porn.

Click below for an interview during which Caleb talks about getting drunk, passing out, getting a tattoo and barfing. Sexy, right?

Here's the video for Charmer. For no other reason than I like it when he screams;

And here's some Caleb eye candy. Jared Followill is the more conventionally attractive member of KOL but that voice of Caleb's sets him apart.
