Sadler Vaden mixes Oasis with Tom Petty on his new solo album ‘Anybody Out There?’
“Peace and Harmony,” Vaden says, was directly inspired by the current social and political climate, particularly with regard to how hard it can be to carry on with everyday life while inundated with bad news from seemingly every direction. “I don’t want to get up, and pour the coffee in my cup,” the song opens, “I just want to lay in bed, let the world fade away.”
“I think a lot of us are feeling that way,” Vaden says. “I don’t think it has anything to do with being on the left or right… It’s not even like depression; it’s just tough to go out there some days. I was listening to a lot of George Harrison, so I think some of his influence seeped into the music. I also wanted a song with a message, one that was pointed but also very broad, too. I think [Tasjan and I] did a good job of that.
While talking about the influence of Oasis and artists like Harrison and Petty, Vaden offers an unsolicited nod to 400 Unit leader Jason Isbell as also having had a major influence on him as a solo musician, particularly when it comes to writing lyrics. “I worked really hard at getting better at lyrics, especially living in Nashville and working with such a fantastic lyricist [in Isbell],” Vaden says. “I don’t pry too much about his process but I know a bit about it. I’ve been in the room enough times to say, ‘Hey, what do you do when you’re trying to get things right?’ I’ve learned a lot from him.”at the end of May, with a handful of festival and one-off dates in between now and then.
