Artist:SHeDAISY
Song:I Will...But
Album:The Whole SHeBANG
The girl group SHeDAISY got off to a good start when their 1999 debut album The Whole SHeBANG was certified Platinum and three singles cracked the country top ten. But they faded after that and by 2006 they didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Their music was country pop. SHeDAISY is from Magna, UT which is near Salt Lake City. The group name is derived from a Navajo term meaning "my little sister". The group is sisters Kristyn, Kelsi and Kassidy Osborn. Kristyn writes most of the songs. Kassidy sings lead. They started singing together as kids. At first they performed as The Osborn Sisters. They signed with RCA in 1989. They recorded an album but it was never released. Kristyn says they were young and did what they were told instead of standing up for themselves. The girls returned to working day jobs and performing at night until they got a record deal with Disney owned Lyric Street Records in 1999. The album The Whole SHeBANG soon followed. There were three top ten country singles. Little Good-Byes reached #3. This Woman Needs reached #9. I Will...But reached #2. The album was certified Platinum. The album was produced by veteran session guitarist and former CCM musician Dann Huff. Kristyn wrote all the songs with veteran Nashville songwriters. She wrote I Will...But with Jason Deere. She wrote a lot of songs with him. They probably clicked because he's a Mormon from Oklahoma. SHeDAISY appeared on the Disney Channel show So Weird and the ABC series The Drew Carey Show. They released a Christmas album in 2000 and hosted a Christmas special on TNN. The major criticism of SHeDAISY at the time was they were too pop and not country enough. And that may explain why subsequent albums did not perform well. Huff continued to produce and Kristyn continued to write all the songs. They finally switched to a new producer for the 2006 album Fortuneteller's Melody. But it was too late and while recording in Canada with Jann Arden, Lyric Street dropped SHeDAISY. They haven't recorded since then and I don't think they are active. Here's the video for I Will...But by SHeDAISY.
