"Being Simple" by The Judybats

The Judybats were an alternative rock band from Tennessee that released a string of records in the early 90s. Their blend of folk rock and quirky, smart lyrics provided relief from noise the grunge bands were using to demolish the hairbands.

The band nearly broke through in a big way with their wonderful 1993 album, "Pain Makes You Beautiful." "Being Simple" is a gorgeous song that received considerable airplay, but not enough to make it onto the Top 100 chart. Other highlights from the record include "All Day Afternoon," "La Dulcinea," and the title track.

When the band's 1994 follow-up record "Full-Empty" tanked, they called it quits. Vocalist Jeff Heiskell has released several records since as a solo artist.
