My guy at the time Austin Lewter decided to take me to my first concert. I had never heard of Slaid Cleaves, but now i will never forget him. I was a small show in the town squares in Sherman, Texas, but he performed like he was in Green Hall. He took the time to make sure everyone who wanted his autograph got it, even little kids who just had waterguns got them signed. He is one of the most genuine people I have had the privilage to meet.

Okay,I have to admit that I'm a Slaid Cleaves groupie but since I first heard his music over a year ago, I've been drawn to this incredible songwriter. Both "No Angels Knows" and "Broke Down" are filled with amazing tunes and genuine lyrics. I have had the privledge to see him live many times, most recently, two shows in NC and each time, I leave feeling like I've just witnessed a man that will be a musical icon to so many in the future. As a North Carolinian, I am in awe of the music that comes out of Texas -- Slaid Cleaves is a gift to that great state.

Amazing musician....Broke Down is my favorite c.d.

Im giving a 5 because thats the highest i could give....Slaid is by far one of the best musicians i have ever heard or seen.i would reccomend Broke down OR no angel knows to anyone at all..no matter what music they like...its hard not to like Slaid.

This is one of the best albums of the year. Tracks like Broke Down,Bring It On, and Lydia make this worth buying. Horseshoe Lounge is played frequently on KIKK(95.7). The best track by far is the folklore"ish" "Breakfast in Hell". Puts on good show also.

"Broke Down" is a masterpiece. One of the best CD's i have heard in a long time.

His music is great listening. Give it a try and you will not be sorry! The first time I heard any of his music I thought "well, that's pretty good" but the more I listen to it the better it gets, just like most good music.

The best Americana CD of the year...
