Sad Daddy, the Americana group consisting of Joe Sundell, Melissa Carper, Rebecca Patek, and Brian Martin, have returned with a new single. "Bootlegger" is a great folk and country song. It's a song highlighted with banjo and fiddle, along with the vocal harmonies of the band. It's just about as traditional as you can get, with a slightly modern twist. The true magic of Sad Daddy is how they always seem to sound like four friends hanging out in a cabin or by a fire and playing music for the fun of it. This is music that is going to be made no matter what, simply out of the love of making and playing.
Brian Martin (songwriter, guitar, and kazoo) says of the band's new single:
“I had a melody and a couple of verses for this song collecting dust in the archives of ideas for over a decade. After running it with the band, the direction the song needed to go sorta revealed itself and came together pretty quickly from that point.”
You can listen to "Bootlegger" below. Ozark Shine is due out June 26 on Free Dirt Records. For more on Sad Daddy, check out the band's website. Upcoming live dates are below the song.
