In 2004 Toronto's cosmic cowboys The Sadies served up another batch of genre-bending rock 'n' roll with Favourite Colours, their second release for Yep Roc. Recorded at WaveLab in Tucson, The Woodshed in Toronto, and Greg Keelor's farm between the band's grueling tour schedule, The Sadies managed to combine country, '60's psychedelia, surf, punk and bluegrass and transform it into their own uniquely organic sound on these 13 original tracks. Longtime fans will notice there are more vocals and a greater emphasis on the Good brothers' effortless harmonies. Sadies friends/collaborators Greg Keelor, Joey Burns, Rick White and Paul Brianerd all make appearances, while Robyn Hitchcock sings lead (and composed the lyrics) for the closing track, "Why Would Anybody Live Here?" Favourite Colours is chock full of heady harmonies, wistfully beautiful melodies and jaw-dropping musicianship.
