Sammy Sadler Reimagines Some Vintage Hits On New Album ‘1989’

May 6, 2021/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Sammy Sadler is releasing his new album 1989, on June 11 via BFD/Audium Nashville.

The new collection is a trip down memory lane and accentuates the sounds of a time when Sadler was making his debut as a newcomer on the Nashville music scene, until an assassination plot commonly known as the “Murder On Music Row” brought his music career to a halt.

Sadler teamed up with several country hitmakers from the late eighties on 1989, most notably a duet with Shenandoah’s Marty Raybon for a fresh take on the upbeat “The Church On Cumberland Road.” He also duets with country soul stylist T. Graham Brown for a revitalized re-recording of “Darlene,” and recruited Larry Stewart of Restless Heart to reimagine another notable track on the album, “The Bluest Eyes In Texas.”

“It is such an honor to re-record some of the most memorable and greatest songs from an era which I think was one of the best ever,” Sadler said. “To have some of the original artists on this record with me is both humbling, and an honor.”

1989 Track List:
1. “Tell It Like It Is” (Richard George Davis JR, Lee Diamond)
2. “Church On The Cumberland Road” (Bob De Piero, Dennis Anthony Robbins, John Scott Sherrill) Featuring Marty Raybon of Shenandoah
3. “The Bluest Eyes In Texas” (Van Wesley Stephenson, Dave Robbins, Tim Dubois) Featuring Larry Stewart of Restless Heart
4. “I Can’t Get Close Enough” (Sonny Lemaire, James Pennington)
5. “Darlene” (Michael Geiger, Ricky Rector, Woodrow Mullis) Featuring T. Graham Brown
6. “I Should Be With You” (Steve Noel Wariner)
7. “She’s Crazy For Leaving” (Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell)
8. “I Know A Place” (Harry Stinson, Tommy Lee James)
