Slaid is always fabulous, no matter where you see him play. Nicest guy you'd ever want to meet, with an old soul, a great sense of humor, and a voice like sweet butter - with a hint of salty gravel. So good for the soul...My dearest friend once sent me photos of him, all faux-signed, "Happy B'day! ~ Love, Slaid"...A joke, of course, but one she pulled off within weeks of her own death from pancreatic cancer after we'd seen him play at the Iron Horse; sobbing together over, "Lydia". Ah, Music!
Just discovered Slaid Cleaves when my local station here in Austin played "Wishbones". I cannot believe this man is not more well known, one listen and you can't stop.
Brilliant song, even when listened a day or two too early... Wonderfull singer and all out great guy as well, I'm glad I got the chance to see him live (thanks dad!).
I have renewd faith in music again.
