Sister Hazel is an American alternative rock band from Gainesville, Florida,
whose style blends elements of jangle pop, folk rock, classic rock, and southern rock.
Sister Hazel formed in Gainesville,
Florida, in 1993 and was named for Sister Hazel
Williams, a local missionary who ran
a homeless shelter. The group released its self-titled debut album in 1994, through its independent record label Croakin'
Poets. Shortly
after its release, singer/guitarist Ryan Newell and drummer Mark Trojanowski
joined the band. Newell played on the album before officially joining the
group.
The band's second album, ...Somewhere
More Familiar was released in 1997 and sold
approximately 30,000 copies through its initial pressing, prompting Universal Records to sign the band. Universal re-released ...Somewhere More Familiar in
late 1997. A single from the album, "All For You"
hit Nº 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains the band's most successful single.
The band's third album Fortress was released in 2000 by Universal. The band worked with producers Mike Clink(Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Heart), Richie
Zito(Cheap Trick), and
Paul Ebersold (3 Doors Down). The
album featured minor pop hits "Champagne High" and "Change Your
Mind." The album's title track was featured as the outro of Valparaiso
University radio station WVUR's weekly Saturday night
program during the 2000-01 academic year.
In 2003, after the band split from Universal,
they released their fourth studio album, Chasing Daylight,
on the Sixthman label and toured throughout the year to promote the album. The
band's internet presence emerged during this time period, and hardcore fans
dubbing themselves "Hazelnuts" studied setlists, shared bootleg concert
recordings, and initiated a promotion scheme with the band through their official
website. 2003 also saw the simultaneous release of Live*LIVE,
a two-disc live album, and A Life in the Day, a live DVD.
Absolutely is Sister Hazel's sixth
studio album. It was
released on October 10, 2006 by Adrenaline/Wandering Hazel Records. It is
Sister Hazel's first album since departing from their previous record label,
Sixthman. "Mandolin Moon", was the first single. The album was leaked
to torrent websites on August 10, 2006. The leaked version was an advance copy
of the CD and featured a short spoken-word track in place of "Hello It's
Me."
Everything changes in
the face of the moon
Now times here, and you're in for bloom
When you woo me
My luna girl
My feet two feet from
the ground
I'm tasting colors, and I'm seeing sounds
When you take me out of this world
Well I, I count my
blessings
And hug my luck like an old brass penny
With two heads up
It's all right if you're late
I'd just hope that you find your way soon
Shine down, light it
up, wash it over
Wait around for my mandolin moon
Come around till the sweet, sweet morning
Come along, I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you
You pull the tides up
around me
So much that it could drown me
And you surround me
My luna girl
Don't tell me, I
don't wanna hear
Wake me up before you disappear
Won't you take me out of this world?
Well I, I count my
blessings
And hug my luck like an old brass penny
With two heads up
It's all right if you're late
I'd just hope that you find your way soon
Shine down, light it
up, wash it over
Wait around for my mandolin moon
Come around till the sweet, sweet morning
Come along, I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you
I'm waiting
Still waiting
If only you could stay a while
I'm waiting
Still waiting
If only you could stay a while
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
If only you could stay a while
Shine down, light it
up, wash it over
Wait around for my mandolin moon
Come along till the sweet, sweet morning
Come along, I'll be waiting for you
Shine down, light it
up, wash it over
Wait around for my mandolin moon
Come around till the sweet, sweet morning
Come along, I'll be waiting for you
Waiting for you.
