Album Review
Few bands approach the sheer versatility of the Sadies, live or on disc. On Pure Diamond Gold (the follow-up to their stellar debut, Precious Moments), the band lurches from Johnny Cash-inspired storytelling country ("It's Nothing to Me," "I Tried Not To") to Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet influenced-surf instrumentals ("Rat Creek," "Venison Creek), while veering off into Nuggets-era garage rock ("Talkin' Down," "Walking Boss") and hillbilly rock and gospel ("16 Mile Creek," "16 Mile Creek Breakdown," "Higher Power"). Pure Diamond Gold consists of songs recorded on two separate occasions — one a 24-track session with Steve Albini, the second an eight-track session (dubbed the "seven o'clock chicken" session) with Don Pyle (of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet) — however, despite the differences, the songs hang together well as a whole. In addition to the slew of strong tracks already mentioned, the Sadies best moments here come in the form of the haunting "Eastwinds" (with vocals provided by Catherine Irwin of Freakwater), the surrealistic plane crash narrative of "With a Splash," and the slow-building instrumental "Cloud Rider" (complete with "howling" provided by the family dog). For fans of country-tinged, twangy rock, it doesn't get much better than this.
Customer Reviews
The Sadies take it all the way to town
One thing I have found with 'The Sadies' is that they sing from the heart, and rock to the shadowy excerpts of a make believe Mexican soundtrack. The band combines about everything I enjoy in real contemporary music. They blend the old with the new, arriving at their own place, a unique sound. Their influences slide through their music, like passing horses on the Chishom Trail back in the day. I'm buying all their lp's. Simple as that.
Great Find
I discovered this band when I heard a track of theirs as background on a podcast and was so haunted by it that I used my soundhound app to figure out what it was. This album reflects a wonderfully eclectic mix with influences ranging from classic/modern country western, rockabilly and bluegrass to folk, rock and heavy metal. Then there are tracks in a category by themselves such as Cloud Rider and Lotus Eater. A great bargain at $7.99 for 20 tracks.
