The music of Austin-based singer/songwriter and guitarist Slaid Cleaves is rooted in country and traditional folk songs, but it is unusual enough to have held interest in a sea of singer/songwriters across the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.
He gained significant notice with No Angel Knows, which was released on Rounder's Philo subsidiary in 1997.
His most recent record Ghost on the Car Radio found Cleaves exploring the traditions of American small town life. We recommend you don’t miss this one.
