Ghost On The Car Radio

Texas-based Americana singer-songwriter Slaid Cleaves delivers a collection of world-weary yet defiant songs to help us all through these ''interesting times.'' Joseph Hudak of Rolling Stone writes: ''Slaid Cleaves may be the Americana genre's most under-appreciated songwriter. With a knack for giving breath to perpetually down-on-their-luck characters on albums like 2000's excellent Broke Down, the Austin by way of Maine artist evokes writers from Guy Clark to Tom Petty, crafting detailed portraits of barflies, drifters and day laborers. On June 23rd, he releases his latest album, Ghost on the Car Radio, another collection of songs that reinforce Cleaves' reputation as a master storyteller, one influenced not by the shine of pop-culture but by the dirt of real life.''
