Really Cool Group Opening for Sarah Borges Saturday Night

One of the coolest records of the year is "Fleetwood Skynyrd" by The Heygoods, out of the Boston area.

The Heygoods open for Sarah Borges, whose "Silver City" CD was one of the more popular Americana records in the nation this year, based on radio airplay. To our furry ears, "Silver City" was one of the greatest CDs I've ever heard. And I'm not kidding.

But back to The Heygoods. Here's an excerpt from something I wrote for Americanaroots.com:

“Fleetwood Skynyrd” by the Heygoods (Hi-N-Dry)—Former Boston rockers Katie and David Champagne, along with their bass guy Kimon Kirk, have created what should be a contender for Americana record of the year, along with the likes of Sarah Borges and Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez. The songs on “Fleetwood Skynyrd” have a loose “I don’t give a damn” folk/country attitude brimming with good-natured, sexy, even infectious cynicism. (Is that possible?) All tunes were written by David Champagne, and feature words like: “Dazzling green eyes, I wish you kept your glasses on”; and “See how long her virtue keeps you warm.” If Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez’s “Red Dog Tracks” is the warm, romantic CD of the year from a duo, this one has to be the warm, cold, snotty, romantic CD of the year from a duo.
