John Doe & The Sadies - Stop The World & Let Me Off (Video Clip)

A cool clip from their recent in-store appearance at Sonic Boom records in Toronto (read a review over at My Aimz Is True). Man I could listen to Dallas Good belt out the country licks all day long.....best tele player since Clarence White?......hmmmm I don't know but he definitely makes a good case.

A Truer Sampler14 - The Sadies

Surf, bluegrass, byrdsian psychedelia, garage rock, country, spaghetti westerns, canada. If you like any 2 of those then odds are your gonna like The Sadies. If you like all of them then buddy you're gonna love 'em. Hailing from Canada The Sadies have been going at it since 1998. Core members are lead singer/guitarists Dallas and Travis Good, it's like someone locked them in a room when they were kids with nothing but ventures, byrds, various garage rock records, and two guitars. What came out is damned good. They can play.....buddy can they play. Some of the best b-bender licks since Clarence White invented the damned thing. They are known as one of the best live bands around too. Whether they are backing Alt Country diva Neko Case, dirty soul legend Andre Williams, or punk rock twangster Jon Langford....all of whom they have toured with and released album collaborations with.

This was kind of tricky to do, cause their songs are best heard on their albums...with all the quirky instrumentals and all. I tried to include some of that feel by adding some of my favorite instrumentals on here but it's still not the same.....the albums are great, get the albums. Their latest one New Seasons is in my opinion probably their best album and certainly one of the best albums of last year. Do not pass it up, if you like this get that album...it will not dissapoint.

ATS14 - The Sadies

The Sadies - Live in Brighton 10-26-04

This is the promised Sadies show with the steel guitar. It's fair sound quality, definitely listenable, though not the greatest. What makes it special though is the oh so sweet steel guitar mixed in with the Good brothers guitar workouts. Love this set-up for them.

Andre Williams and The Sadies - Hot As Hell (Live at Roskilde 1999)

As far as bootlegs go, this one is what you might call a "released" bootleg. That is, it was released by one of those shady European record labels. The info I found said this was recorded in 1999 at Roskilde Festival in denmark and released on yellow vinyl. However, I could not for the life of my find any album art for this. So here is a cool pic of Andre Williams:

Andre Williams is a forgotten R&B/Rock singer from way back....very reminiscent of Screaming Jay Hawkins. He recorded a killer album with the Sadies in 1999 entitled Red Dirt that was put out by Bloodshot Records (it's fantastic, go get it) and this show was obviously in support of that album.

1. Surfin' In Country Hell
2. Alleluia/Proud Mary
3. I Can Tell
4. Car With The Star
5. She's Allright
6. I Wanna Be Your Favorite Pair Of Pajamas
7. Jail Bait
8. Agile, Mobile, Hostile
9. Tell Me Why
10. Mustang Sally
11. Let Me Put It In (Your Pussy Is Gut)

Andre Williams and The Sadies - Hot As Hell

The Sadies - Schubas Tavern Chicago, IL Dec. 2001

Here's a cool little Sadies show from way back in '01. Pretty killer set here, and The Sadies aren't known for their live shows for nothin' boys. If you're not familiar with The Sadies, they are killer instrumentalists who play their own mix of surfabilly-bluegrass-country-delic-gospelpunk.....check em out. This is a good place to start. They have an official live album that, while a killer album, is much like a modern rap record(:-P).....you know, plagued with just a touch too many guest appearences (cough cough..jon spencer..cough).

I didn't get much information with this one, so all I know is that it was recorded at Schubas Tavern in December of 2001. I have another Sadies boot I will be putting up that features some steel guitar and is equally killer, so look forward to that if you are a fan.
