Description
Sad Daddy emerges straight out of the Ozark hills in 2026 with their fourth studio album, Ozark Shine, highlighting the band's songwriting and harmony vocals. Their 2022 release, Way Up in the Hills, took the nation by storm with its down-to-earth, raw old-time country and jug band vibes, paired with relevant subject matter. Carrying a similar sentiment and back-to-the-country message, Sad Daddy once again captures the pulse of America and proves they are ahead of their time with this new collection of original material. The songs range from stocking up for the next weather disaster, to buying a peaceful piece of land with a cabin, to playful tales of returning home to check if the stove was left on, and even digging a backyard hole to bury a lame partner--offering a diverse palette of stories that feel real and relatable today.
Recorded at Nashville's Bomb Shelter Studio with engineer Drew Carroll and mixed by Andrija Tokic, the band assembled and recorded live in the same room. They had been writing and preparing material through sessions in central Arkansas and during their time representing the Ozarks at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. Brian Martin, Rebecca Patek, Joe Sundell, and Melissa Carper--each accomplished singers, writers, and performers--keep Sad Daddy alive for the pure joy of playing and creating together, something you can clearly feel in their music. Ozark Shine brings a mix of new songs and a few older ones finally put to record, promising listeners moments of peace, laughter, and comforting joy.
