Tell Her What I Said

The Sadies - one of the hardest-working and least known country and western/rock and roll bands on the planet - are often referred as "musician's musicians"; that is, they are better known and more respected by those inside the music industry than they are by those outside the music industry. Fronted by brothers Travis and Dallas Good, the Sadies have been plugging away at and touring their eclectic repertoire in virtual obscurity for over twenty years.

I attended high school with both brothers. We were never friends, but had many mutual friends, and my high school years are speckled with memories of seeing one or the other brother playing live with various garage bands at house parties. The brothers eventually joined forces and formed the Sadies.

When I lived in New York, I was lucky enough to catch them once in a small midtown club. Unfortunately, I ended up leaving the concert before the third set. My wife - who is often nonplussed by my musical tastes - pleaded we go home early because she found the Sadies' music to be "way too loud and way too twangy!"

Anyway, here is one of my favorite songs from this little known band - a melancholy tune called "Tell Her What I Said". In my estimation, this particular song is neither too loud nor too twangy:

YouTube probably restricted it based on my country. You should mention the name of the video in words.

@ Otto - Thanks. OK, will do, but I figured the title of the post itself already fulfilled that role. I guess not.
