From The Archives: Slaid Cleaves and The Guilty Men - Little Brothers, Columbus, OH 4-20-04

Still filling requests here. This one is a damn fine show, glad someone requested this cause it made me listen to it some more.

This is a great show here. I actually like this better than any of his studio work. Slaid is in his element here.....playing live. I wish he would just go ahead and put out an official live album. Listen to this and you will see why. If you like good songwriting with a country bend, this is for you (surprisingly, lots of yodeling on here too). Features 2 of my favorite songs "Lydia" and "One Good Year". There are a few hiccups in the recording during the 3rd song, but overall this is a fantastic boot.

  1. Great show. I was there that night with the recorder running. Hard to believe it's been almost five years.

  2. Is it just me, or does this sound like it was downloaded from a CD in desperate need of either repair or replacement? Listen to "Drinking Days" and you'll get what I mean.

  4. OB Dan, those are the hiccups I was talking about. Does indeed sound like a dirty CD. Rest of it sounds great though.

    Boomtownkid....that's awesome. Is this your recording?? If so, thanks!

  5. Maybe that CD's owner can give it a little spray of denatured alcohol (92% - no water like the 70%), and clean it from the inside out (not circular, like an LP - you'd be surprised how many people still do that!), and then, if it sounds better, maybe repost it.

    Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze?

    This guy's new to me, and damned good - but those hiccups take a lot away.

  6. This is a great post, always been a big Slaid fan. But I can't get part 2 to work--is anyone else having trouble? Man, I gotta hear "one good year" and I can't get to it. Thanks for your blog, you are truly doing great work.
