I don't think any artist with limited success, had fans pulling for them more than SheDaisy did.  When they hit the charts with their very successful debut album, and developed a big following immediately.  But as it often happens, things happen - and many times fans never really know why.  All they know one of their favorite new stars is no longer on the charts or on the Country Music landscape.   That's SheDaisy, but they deserved their moment because of their great image, their music, and their slick sibling harmonies.

GREAT Debut Single

The three very talented sisters from Utah, Kristyn, Kelsi and Kassidy Osborn recorded first as the Osborn Sisters but changed the name later to SheDaisy which is a derivative of a Navajo term that means "little sister."  They have an interesting story as they came to Nashville and recorded a first album that was never released.  Their big break came in 1999 when their album, The Whole SheBang came out.  This album by any measure was a huge success. Country was very open to new groups like this at that moment as the Dixie Chicks had opened that door widely. They were a far more produced and less acoustic version.

Second Single

It produced 5 hit singles, and sold well over a million copies.  It had three top five songs, including Little Goodbye's that made it to #3, and I Will....But  that went to #2.  The album was on the charts for about two years and it appeared that they were clearly on their way. Fans loved them, especially young fans. Their sound was tight, fresh, creative and new.  The phones rang for their music, and they were very accessible.  I did an in store concert and appearance with them in Akron and they were terrific with fans and listeners.

Thier Highest Charting Song  #2  - Simply Fantastic! 

Their music ended up in a few movies, and they had some nice TV exposure.  They released a very popular Christmas album, and ended up performing on National TV at the Orange Bowl game.  All systems seemed "go" and their fans were poised for a long career.  Then album two came out, Knock On The Sky.  All singles from that album were unsuccessful, but to show you the love from their fans, it went Gold, and that's tough to do with no real radio play. From my seat, their first song from that album, Get Over Yourself was a huge problem for them.

Second Album Lead Song

The video for this song was highly creative as was much of what they did. But this song really painted them into a corner and in my view limited their audience and appeal by a lot.  Although the video was playful, on the radio it was not.  They seemed to lose their heart that the first album captured so very well.  The song on air came off as angry and arrogant and I think that was off putting, and frankly irritating for many.  From my seat at the time, I think it really slowed them down. That was a song that may have been better recorded much later in a career, and not as you were trying to establish an identity.  It only went to #27 on the charts, and the next song, Mine All Mine, another song that under performed on the charts went to #28, but ended up in the movie, Sweet Home Alabama.

Made The Movies!

Sweet Right Here was the next album and had a couple of mild hits, but again selling very well with another Gold certification. The single, Passenger Seat was a mild hit, so was Come Home Soon.  There were future special projects, and over the next number of years and greatest hits albums, but they never recaptured the magic of the first album, but always had a big following.

Christmas Album

They have disbanded and there isn't much else to tell.  They had a big fan base, but not everyone gets decades on the charts. But for a time they created a big buzz. In their short run they sold a ton, had a lot of award nominations and were overall just flat out fun.

Passenger Seat

Fans still ask about them, and many still have that terrific first album.
