I saw Brandi Carlile and The Secret Sisters live last night (they opened for her, but I had never heard of them before) and these are the remarks one of the sisters made before playing this song. It was something along the lines of: "This next song is the one from its album that our record label really pushed to be the "radio song," the song they would try to get played on actual radio stations. And it did actually get picked up by several stations, including one station in Nashville, Tennessee that happens to be the favorite radio station of the butthole that this song is about. So I like to imagine him driving down the road, listening to his favorite radio station, and suddenly hearing this song come on. And the song is somewhat specific, so I'm quite confident that if he does hear it, he'll know exactly who sings it and who it's about." And with that she went right into the song which begins "Davie White..." and the entire audience burst out laughing. I certainly like to believe that the person it's about really is named Davie White.
So, Laura & Lydia, He's Fine is an exceptionally wonderful tune. I live in Nashville, and would be very interested in knowing which radio station your song is being played on. I don't tune in to the country stations...that may be why? Is there an Americana station I am unaware of? Thanks!!
Those beautiful Everly Brothers harmonies! When I was a teen, I usta add the top third to songs on the radio. Now my two daughters and I do three part vids on FaceBook...and these Secret Sisters are wonderful!
I literally heard of the Secret Sisters for the first time 15 minutes ago then I looked on YT and found this video. It took me all of 5 seconds after they started singing to know this is one of my new favorites!
To this day, I cannot listen to this song without getting chills or tearing up. Look at the reactions of the folks in the control room in the video... that's how I feel every time I hear this amazing song, and these amazing women.
this song was playing on wxpn my local member supported radio station in philly. i'm a unmarried gay dude with no connections to this story but by the 3rd hearing when the harmonies go up near the end and then the final repeat of the chorus i felt punched in the gut. and just now as i let the stinging in my eyes become tears i realize this is gonna be one of those songs that make me cry each time i hear it. i joined the station yesterday
I am so glad Brandi Carlile was a fan and kept the sisters doing music. I took my musical teen daughter to hear them in a small venue in Portland, Oregon a couple of years ago. She loved their sound and their take-no-shit attitude. We have tickets to enjoy them as musical moms this spring. They are special women.
Heard them on the local college station that I listen to despite being 60 years old, and Shazamed it. This is why I listen to indie stations, I doubt you would hear this at all on commercial stations. I'm pretty sure the modern country stations wouldn't touch it, even though it is country.
Davy White Where is he tonight? He’s sleeping with her in a Tennessee town and he's fine I think I lost my mind And my wasted time I’m dreaming alone in a hotel bed that he's mine Bought a gown to match his name Kept my virtue just the same So I could offer to my love A bride he could be proud of I was sure I held his heart ‘Til a Louisiana girl tore us apart Watched him as he turned away Into her arms, where he stayed Davy White Where is he tonight? He’s sleeping with her in a Tennessee town and he's fine I think I lost my mind And my wasted time I’m dreaming alone in a hotel bed that he's mine Once my tears had all run out I learned how to live without Pieces left behind in tow I took to the hard road Strangers know the songs I write They come to hear me sing at night They don’t know I’ve paid the cost They don’t know what I lost
I cannot imagine this song being any better than it is. The voices plaintive, hurt, and yet strong, determined. Rich rhythmic instrumentals that fill the space but do not intrude on the voices. Marvelous
Love the image of them leaving the stage at Red Rocks holding their hearts. That must have been a thrill for them. Can't wait to see them in KCMO next month.
So proud to see Brandi and the Twins paying it forward with these 2 lovely ladies. It was a pleasure to see you all share the stage and I hope there are more opportunities to
Went to see Ray LaMontagne and The Secret Sisters this past Wednesday. It was one of the best concerts I've ever attended. Ray LaMontagne is in a league of his own, BUT The Secret Sisters have something truly special and unique. They were mesmerizing. Every word they sang hit me very deeply. Great artists. ♥️
Ah YES, success is such sweet revenge! The Secret Sisters have been blessed with beautiful voices, along with the ability to write beautiful lyrics to compliment them❣
Just discovers you 2 beautiful ladies on the news this morning, I'm obsessed! Beautiful, real, true talent! It's nice finding real music talent these days...seems rare to me.
Wow...heard this on my local radio station and ran home and googled them and seeing brandi in the video is just icing on the cake!!!!!! simply amazing.....
I kicked in a few bucks to help crowd fund this project and am knocked out by the finished product. Great songs, excellent production by Brandi Carlisle and the Hanseroth Twins.
Do you know I just love these girls. WHAT VOICES. Sitting here on the Isle of Man I have all their albums. So glad theve gone back to their pure roots. So proud of you both - you make me VERY full of every emotion when I listen to your voices. I'm singing away at the top of my voice with ya. x
Loved all of your performances on Tønder Festival. Waauw. I am so happy to have had the experience to see you live at the Bolero tent , the concert and the interwieve with Alex Nyborg Madsen and Søren Rebe ,and Womens Circle 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
One of those songs/groups where you're listening to a random streaming radio station and all of a sudden you stop and re-listen, and then do research. Awesome.
love them saw at the grand ole opery when they first started out met them a few times they are very humble great to see them back after a break while one of them had a baby glad they are now in control of the music and what music they produce hope to see them again soon
This is an amazing song and it might be your best yet. I've been a fan since your first album and you keep getting better with every song. Keep up the great work I'll see you in Chicago.
A fellow First Aid Kit fan! I like them both but for different reasons. I think the Secret Sisters are a bit mellow but First Aid Kit has more character.
This song is my entire life. I saw you on stage seems like years ago. I don't remember where. Y'all were nervous, but amazing. I'm back in Nashville, and I heard this on the radio. I knew I'd heard you before. It's saving me right now. Thank you.
I was listening to "The Wailin' Jenny's" on Spotify and wound up hearing this song. My ears immediately perked up. Wow, what a lucky break. You girl's are awesome. I've listened to most everything you've recorded today. My favorites are He's fine, Tennessee River, Silver, and Mississippi.
The only radio station I can pick up at work is the local college affiliated one and it's played this song twice in two days. Very catchy and very Brandi Carlisle-inspired production. Which is a good thing.
Love these ladies - And Brandi!! I've seen them open for Brandi a few times and I encourage anyone to go so a show. Exceptional talents and really funny from the stage...
