One of his signature songs, the title track from his 2000 release, performed to a packed house (and a very appreciative crowd) at the Beachland Tavern in Cleveland.

  • probably one of the greatest tragedies is the sad commentary our mtv culture makes everyday is the finest talents in this world are digging in the dumpster for a peach pit of approval while the masses gobble up britney and the rest of the mainstream crap. Slaid hold the line you are all we have left of truth.

  • bergersontile2 - you are SO right! The mainstream crap that the conglomerates like Clear Channel try to shove down our throats does not even come close to the talent of musicians like Slaid, Charlie Robison, Bruce Robison, Robert Earl Keen, Phil Hummer -etc. This is GOLD!

  • @vwrob67, I couldn't agree with you more...

  • got tickets to see Slaid at McCabe's in Santa Monica in September. Discovered him at the Strawberry Music Fest several years ago. Told him "I hope you brought LOTS of CDs" At the end of the weekend, he told me they had sold all they brought.

    I just think I can write a song now and then...then I relisten to the chorus of this song. Broke down..torn and frayed...ain't nothing left you can give away...It doesn't get any better than that.

  • Saw Slaid last night in a Barn 100 new fans!

  • First time I have heard this guy and am very impressed. I agree with others he is very like a young John Prine!

  • He looks and sounds a lot like a young John Prine! He's damn good!

  • He looks and sounds a lot like a young John Prine! He's damn good!

  • Got tickets to see Slaid in Marblehead, MA this fall, can't wait.

  • Kind of a generic melody.

  • stumbled into the horseshoe last night and caught this guy by pure coincidence.  Best part of the night for sure. Great music and even good yodeling. lol
