I couldn't agree more. I got to hear SOD multiple times at Southern Junction, in Rockwall, TX, when I worked there my senior year of high school. I always loved watching them live, in such a great venue. Some of my best memories are from 90-93, while working and hanging out at SJ.
One of the best bands of the entire decade. Completely undervalued by country radio. I just rewatched you guys on the tonight show with Lee Ann Womack. The audio quality of the videos sucked but the performance was outstanding.
Another great band that didnt fit into what Nashville wanted to do at the time, when they committed murder on music row and went pop. This band was so talented, just like alot of others they threw away for bands like Rascal Flatts. Get Real! Love these guys!
I have always loved these guys, I think they were some of the most talented in the 90's, unfortunately, Talent has nothing to do with Nashville Tennessee, its all about how much they can control and sell your soul, but I will always be a SOTD fan, Go boys go,
I still remember watching this video when I was 5 in 1997 plus I member seein when leann rimes one way ticket came out an blue I mean that was a great generation an good time to live in (90s) oh yea plus Lila Mccann was a good singer 2 u no what I mean I'm sure lol
yea I agree with u their I mean country isn't as good really I just mostly listen to 90s country or I should say the era between like late 80s and all 90s an early 2000s country and yea I also remember bein 5 years old watching this many times my uncle liked this video and song as well I mean he always had the CMT music vids on just as he did after the 90s ended lol
I am reading how these guys didn’t get the recognition they deserved. This may be true, but it is our favorite find! By far mine! Drive away and that’s the kind of love! If it doesn’t get you fired up for love, you are just a little terminator!
"somebody's leaving I don't care who But there's not enough room In my mind for two" Their lyrics were SO clever!! All their songs were so well written!
12-26-2009. Happy 47th Birthday, Brian. I know that you all weren't around for long, but you did make an impact on the music scene. Many happy returns.
RAWR ... saw them over 10 yrs ago when they were at the Greater Shenandoah Valley fair , went there and got front row seats and i literally just wtached him and watched the lead singer, Drew Womack.
I've listened to Sons of the Desert since they came out. Sad that they didnt do more, i would've bought their CD's etc. Another group u don't hear of much anymore is South Sixty-Five , country boy band, I just bought a CD of them offa Ebay lmao... $5 , best $5 i ever spent lol.
I a well-known caller to all the DJs at the local country station in my hometown back in the 90s and one of them and I were talking about the Lee Ann Womack song I Hope you Dance and how Sons of the Desert sang background on that song. When the DJ and I were talking, I learned someone in this band had the last name of Womack, too. 'Twas cool, whenever I was talking to the DJs, they would put me on hold to make their announcements and then would talk to me again when the song was playing.
It was great seeing and hearing the lead singer is now with Lonestar! Seen them a couple months ago in Terre Haute, Indiana. He sang " Hands of Fate". Sounded fantastic!! Seen the Sons of the Desert twice before. Great music.
Going through some old cd's today and found my Sons of the Desert cd. I wondered what happened to them as they were so awesome vocally and instrumentally.
These guys are the best, every song is excellent. Change was even better than the first. I NEED TO BE WRONG AGAIN, TOO FAR TO WHERE YOU ARE, & REAL FINE LOVE - awesome!!!!. They also backed up on vocals for Lee Ann Womack's I hope you dance. Far too few songs from them. Saw them at the Temecula Balloon & Wine Festival years ago with Blackhawk - two of my favorite bands, but SOTD was superior.
I know right ? I've always loved these guys since I was 5 , yeah I member in 1997 when this came out , I love 90s country its the best era in country ! (:
This song specifically reminds me of a trip to Maine my family and I went on during late summer, 1997. Great times! :) This is also my favorite era in country, and always will be. :)
@hardrockandmetalrule by the way , i did see them in concert at the Greater Shenandoah Valley Fair in Waynesboro , VA , last concert i've ever attended to since then.
I really have to say with the exception of Scotty Mcreery that I prefer the older country songs like this and singers that have been around like Alan Jackson. I also don't mind Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood even some Kelly Pickler. Brooks and Dunn were awesome together but I just can't listen to the other newer stuff. I always get drawn to the era that this music came from.
One of the greatest bands ever that didn't get recognized. Amazing vocals, great great lyrics, awesome melodies. Miss you guys so much.
SparklyHomesteader Thanks from the bass player that was real young in this video. 😂 Not so much now.
100% agree!

@@dougvirden4510 , is the lead guitar in Lynryd Skynryd currently? BTW, you guys are awesome!!

Man I miss hearing this type of music. The 90s were one of the best decades for country music.
yes they were!
I do not exaggerate when I say this is one of the greatest songs of all time...
One of the most underrated groups there ever was.
LEE ANN WOMACK GOT ME HERE
Another great band that didnt fit into what Nashville wanted to do at the time, when they committed murder on music row and went pop. This band was so talented, just like alot of others they threw away for bands like Rascal Flatts. Get Real! Love these guys!
I kind of get a Hal Ketchum thought when I hear this. Stumbled on this. Never heard of them but they are good.
The Sons broke up years ago but Drew Womak is still making some great music. We had him do a private party for us this last weekend and was great.
I'm hoping to see him in Texas 2023
Is he brother of Lee Ann Womak?
@@adonay.francono, he and Lee Ann are not related
I love the version of "I Hope You Dance" where they sing the background vocals. 💋
Yeah
Technically, the Sons only #1 record.
AMEN
Great band!!! Glad to see Drew with lonestar now. Maybe they will perform Sons of the Desert songs live.
One of my all-time favorite songs.
It's a shame it gets cut off at the end though.
Music that defined my teenage years...love 90s country music. I never listened to pop or rap back then. This was it
I really liked these guys. This one and "Albuquerque" were great
I miss listening to these fellas on the radio
I have always loved these guys, I think they were some of the most talented in the 90's, unfortunately, Talent has nothing to do with Nashville Tennessee, its all about how much they can control and sell your soul, but I will always be a SOTD fan, Go boys go,

It’s a lot of good ole boys who only care about what they can get
I'm 20 from AZ🌵 and this one my jam 🙌🏿 People are obsessed with the new 🗑️ and forget to acknowledge this great artists.
Girl in the video is beautiful
I always throught Drew had one of the best country voiuces I ever heard..
God - their vocals were just so TIGHT......🤗
Proof that it’s possible to make GOOD pop country.
I've been looking for these guys for a while. Kept looking for desert sons. Today's a good day
Just re-bought their CD. Love them
When country music still sounded half way decent. All music genre's have gone to hell in the past 10- 15 years.
yea I agree with u their I mean country isn't as good really I just mostly listen to 90s country or I should say the era between like late 80s and all 90s an early 2000s country and yea I also remember bein 5 years old watching this many times my uncle liked this video and song as well I mean he always had the CMT music vids on just as he did after the 90s ended lol
Don't you just love that C-rap (country rap)?
Winston Dodd, and even worse now.
I dont know how they call this new country, country.....not even close . Country rap
Contract disputes
He’s got such a clear voice I love his sound. Brings back memories from when they were first popular
Full version is available on their Facebook page.

With Drew being the lead singer of Lonestar now, I hope they add this song to their playlist
Wow. Just saw a live version of "I hope you Dance" by LeAnn Womack and they sang backup beautifully. Had to search more of there music.
"somebody's leaving
I don't care who
But there's not enough room
In my mind for two"
Their lyrics were SO clever!! All their songs were so well written!
Proudly endorsing MA drums...hilarious.
ACC's #87 song of the '97 survey year. The Sons hit #10 in Billboard, 7-12-97.
SING IT DREW!!!!
Wished they would come back. Loved them. Great band!!
Drew is the lead singer of Lonestar
Bring this music back please
I like his hair
Boy I miss these boys. I love this song.
Such a great song! One of my favs !
To hell with Nashville, you got IT. !!!!!!!!! Go. Go go!!!!!!!!!!!!
i miss these guys -
One of the best country CDs of all time
Drew Womack...what a great talent..
12-26-2009. Happy 47th Birthday, Brian. I know that you all weren't around for long, but you did make an impact on the music scene. Many happy returns.
Haven't heard this since I was like 12. I'm 31 now, time has gone by.
My great uncle was one of the sons of the desert back in 1962 before they were well known.
I love this song, but I wish they'd remove it and reupload the entire thing. They have it on their Facebook page, why not on their RUclips page?
I tried to upload the full version but it was blocked. Apparently by copyright infringement.
this was and is such a great CD, I can listen to this one anytime and usually do.
I just found mine and have it ready for my next car ride.
Drew Womack and pickers have talent running out their ears! I worked on air when this and Leaving October Behind. I was hooked and always will be!
RAWR ... saw them over 10 yrs ago when they were at the Greater Shenandoah Valley fair , went there and got front row seats and i literally just wtached him and watched the lead singer, Drew Womack.
Haven't heard this song in a long time.
I member watching this when I was 5 in 1997 yeah this came out I believe June of 97 , love 90s country !
This song never gets old..
I've listened to Sons of the Desert since they came out. Sad that they didnt do more, i would've bought their CD's etc.
Another group u don't hear of much anymore is South Sixty-Five , country boy band, I just bought a CD of them offa Ebay lmao... $5 , best $5 i ever spent lol.
This song applies to me so much today
Watched them perform at a small concert in Saginaw, MI 1997-ish. Very great group of guys.
This song is amazing. I'm really enjoy it. What ever comes ... Amazing group are Sons Of Desert !!!
I a well-known caller to all the DJs at the local country station in my hometown back in the 90s and one of them and I were talking about the Lee Ann Womack song I Hope you Dance and how Sons of the Desert sang background on that song.

'Twas cool, whenever I was talking to the DJs, they would put me on hold to make their announcements and then would talk to me again when the song was playing.
They were fantastic! They are no longer around because their record company screwed them!
Love Drews vocals. One of the best of the 90's.
Drew has one of the finest voices period, just awesome. I wish he would make some more music.
Love this song
Real country 🎤
It was great seeing and hearing the lead singer is now with Lonestar! Seen them a couple months ago in Terre Haute, Indiana. He sang " Hands of Fate". Sounded fantastic!! Seen the Sons of the Desert twice before. Great music.
Why did this song and video get cut off prematurely??
Thanx, Veronica, for lettin' me know. God bless you!
Every song on the album is great. I used this song as my breakup song to help me over a heartache. IT WORKED!
agree with winston been listening to country since the 50s caseymusgraves &ashley monroe are the only hope for us
Going through some old cd's today and found my Sons of the Desert cd. I wondered what happened to them as they were so awesome vocally and instrumentally.
they may have been a one hit wonder but... they were darn good they should have made more music.
These guys are the best, every song is excellent. Change was even better than the first. I NEED TO BE WRONG AGAIN, TOO FAR TO WHERE YOU ARE, & REAL FINE LOVE - awesome!!!!.

Hi guys , Long time no hear.
Happy birthday to Bassist Doug Virden!!!

Great band..
I totally LOVE this song!!! Why is the video cut so short:( I sure wish they would have continued with their great music and the awesome vocals!
SOTDs hti #10 in Billboard, 7-12-97. No offense meant here, gang, but, God bless! Thanx for postin' it. That's how I ALWAYS end my comments!
2:20 is my fave part
Why does this cut off toward the end? I miss these guys, too bad they aren't still touring together. This sound is greatly missed these days
It's cut off at the beginning too.
my uncle is in this band lol.
Great tune!
Letting go of someone you gave it all for just tò find out. It was all went to waste.
been ages since i heard this one.
Wonder why it was cut short? Too bad. This is one of my favorite songs and videos from the 90's.
I know right ? I've always loved these guys since I was 5 , yeah I member in 1997 when this came out , I love 90s country its the best era in country ! (:
This song specifically reminds me of a trip to Maine my family and I went on during late summer, 1997. Great times! :) This is also my favorite era in country, and always will be. :)
@hardrockandmetalrule by the way , i did see them in concert at the Greater Shenandoah Valley Fair in Waynesboro , VA , last concert i've ever attended to since then.
I searched for Sons of the Desert Laurel and Hardy movie and this comes up.
These guys sang backup in Lee Ann Womack's song I hope you dance.
I really have to say with the exception of Scotty Mcreery that I prefer the older country songs like this and singers that have been around like Alan Jackson. I also don't mind Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood even some Kelly Pickler. Brooks and Dunn were awesome together but I just can't listen to the other newer stuff. I always get drawn to the era that this music came from.
yeah same here I love the 90s in music in General especially in country
What happened to this Band, they were so good ?
Has Zac Brown ever covered this? He could make a fortune! ;)
Surely it doesn't actually end like that?!
No it doesn't actually end that way...that video was cut short
@mcgrawaddict Its gotten to a point where he doesnt care ..blessing or curse ..
I love these guys! They are awesome!! i was in love with this song when i was little, Anyone know what happened to them?
They're disbanded around early 2000's. Drew Womack is now the new lead vocalist of Lonestar.
song cuts short
Drew Womack sang like a Britisher, when he dropped his r's, after vowel sounds.
