The live recording “Ain't No Rest For The Wicked (Unpeeled)” by Cage the Elephant is part of their project "Unpeeled," which showcases the band in a raw and stripped-down format, highlighting their versatility and musicianship. This live session was released in 2017 and comes after their fourth studio album, "Tell Me I'm Pretty," which was released in 2015. During this period, the band was experiencing significant growth in popularity, riding the success of their earlier hits and experimenting with a more acoustic sound. The "Unpeeled" sessions were particularly notable as they offered a fresh take on their established hits, allowing fans to appreciate the band’s lyrical depth and emotional delivery. The choice to revisit “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked,” one of their earliest and most iconic songs, during this live performance underscores its lasting impact in their discography and the band's ongoing evolution as artists.
