"Green (Welcome To The World)" by Sister Hazel

"Hazelnuts" are what they call the fans of this folk rock band from Gainesville, Florida. They formed in 1993 and hit the charts by 1997 in a big way with "All For You." The song went to #11 and has become a 90s classic. 

Strangely, Sister Hazel has not been able to maintain a chart presence since then and are largely considered a one-hit wonder. After "Happy" and "Change Your Mind" reached #73 and #59, respectively, they weren't heard on the radio much again.

And that's a damn shame. Sister Hazel has been consistently cranking out solid albums at an impressive pace for over 20 years, with all of the original founding members still on board.

"Green (Welcome To The World)" is the closing track to their 2004 album, "Lift." It is a terrific and heart-warming tune about bringing new life into the world. In this case, presumably a new "hazelnut."
