NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Sammy Sadler is announcing the pre-order of his upcoming 1989 album with an energetic cover of “She’s Crazy For Leaving.” Sadler’s rendition of this Rodney Crowell hit from 1988 brings back the era of pedal steel guitars, with a modern twist. The song was originally number one on the country charts in 1988 and during this decade, Sadler recorded three No. 1 independent singles, had four “Top 15” records on the Texas Music Chart, and logged three Billboard country singles with John Anderson and Steve Wariner. 30 years later, Sadler is breathing new life into this classic 80’s hit with crystal clear vocals and that classic country sound. Listen to “She’s Crazy For Leaving” here and pre-order 1989 here.
“It’s an honor for me to record songs for my new album, 1989, from an era of what, in my opinion, was and is a time of the greatest country music ever made and produced. The 80’s. ‘She’s Crazy For Leaving’ is one of those songs I did in my live shows that always gets the crowd grooving. I hope I’ve done it justice. It’s a real favorite of mine,” said Sadler.
Sadler’s anticipated album, 1989, features revitalized covers from that great year in country music, along with duets from the biggest stars of the era. 1989 was when Sadler made his country music debut before his career was derailed by the infamous “Murder on Music Row,” in which he was severely injured and had to retire from music. Now, Sadler is ecstatic to be making music again and for the upcoming release of 1989, his first project after signing with BFD/Audium Nashville earlier this year.
