Great Follow up to Broke Down,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wishbones (Audio CD)
I would recommend this CD to anyone who likes good old grassroots folk/country music. Slaid Cleaves is a great song writer and performer and it shows through in his recordings. Honestly if you haven't listened to this CD you are truely missing something.

Would be songwriter in search of a melody...none found.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wishbones (Audio CD)
At first I thought the lyrics were promising, then realized they only seem much better than they are because of the god-awful, mindless, endlessly repetitive naryl,naryl,naryl,nothingness of anything resembling a memorable musical phrase. How this collection got wasted onto perfectly good plastic boggles the mind. Whatever happened to the kind of music that Webb Pierce, Hank Williams,Johny Cash,etc. produced? I'll have to send these bowl floaters back to Rounder for a refund.

A wise and warm voice - excellently produced album,
By 6XERVANTES (Dortmund, Ruhr Valley, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wishbones (Audio CD)
Slaid Cleaves is quite definitely the best American singer-songwriter I've come across in recent years. This excellently produced album contains a string of first-class songs, each of which is full of warmth and wisdom. The first time I read about Slaid Cleaves was on the BBC music page, where the melancholy beauty and the wisdom of his songs are justly celebrated. Take, for example, 'Drinking days' or 'Borderline' - songs that go straight to the heart. A record to listen to many times over. Slaid's voice is the perfect instrument for these ballads, that reveal something that has become so rare in contemporary popular music - thoughtfulness and sensitivity. In other words, this guy observes -and strives to understand- people and their everyday problems and tragedies, shaping songs of elegant lyrics and haunting melodies.As a German who's been in love with various styles of American music for a long time, in fact most of his life, this record is further evidence of an ability of sensitive and intelligent American songwriters that is totally unparallelled in German, French or British popular music: the ability to combine realistic, heartfelt poetry with beautiful melodies, simply stating the truth, without imposing cheap solutions on the listener or getting sarcastic.
