Sister Hazel - Before The Amplifiers: Live Acoustic (2008)




Saw this one pop out tonight, a day after it hit retail shelves, but that’s not too bad. It’s the new live and acoustic album by Florida pop band Sister Hazel, who had a few big hits in the 90s and early 2000s, including the #1 hit “All For You”. Giving it a preliminary listen, it’s nice. The band was never anything complex or mind-blowing musically, they were pretty safe and pedestrian, but it was something I dug as a teen and it’s very chill and mellow, as you’d expect an acoustic album to be.

Sister Hazel is a musical group from Gainesville, Florida, whose style blends elements of alternative rock, folk, and southern rock.



Sister Hazel released a live acoustic album on June 17, 2008 entitled Before The Amplifiers, Live Acoustic on Croakin’Poets/Rock Ridge Music. The record features sixteen tracks, including the band’s hits, fan favorites, and live concert staples, all in a stripped-down, acoustic format. The album was recorded on January 12th at Nickel and Dime Studios in Atlanta (other bands who have recorded there in the past include Indigo Girls, The B-52’s, Shawn Mullins) in front of 100 lucky fans who were chosen at random from over five thousand entries.

This 16-song retrospective is a stripped down review of the band’s rich past with a glance into the future. Featuring rich vocals, honed melodies, and defined instrumentation, “BTA” offers much to not only the band’s core fan base (the HazelNuts), but also to those yet to be converted.
