I’m
glad I found Slaid Cleaves, because my life would have been poorer
without him. You’ll feel the same, I think, when you listen
to
this beautifully crafted album. Listen, go to one of Slaid’s
shows, take a friend, and pass on the news: not all the good guys wear
hats. --Stephen King, 2009

Grew up in Maine. Lives in
Texas. Writes
songs. Makes records.
Travels around. Tries to be good.
A sharply observant songwriter with a
deep appreciation for the ageless fundamentals of folk, country, and
rock . . . one of the country's most compelling roots artists.
— Peter Margasak, Chicago Reader
