"For those of you hearing Slaid Cleaves for the first time, this CD is a treat. I listened to Slaid play these songs live all over Portland Maine and sometimes Portsmouth NH for literally years and was very pleased with how they came out on this CD. Willie of the Wind is a fantastic roll of a melody with a story about a homeless guy. Justice is a personal favorite of mine as i lived in Portland Maine when the news story broke that it references. Slaid Cleaves deserves star billing and i look forward to the day when i can see his name at the Grammy's!!! i cannot make the complex musical references that others do in their reviews, all i can say is that it makes you just want to lift a beer to the musician and enjoy the songs."

"I heard the song Broke Down for the first time on KFAN-Texas Rebel Radio and thought that this is the best example of song writing I have experienced in a long time. I would place Cleave's songwriting talent up there with Mary Chapin Carpenter's."

"I heard Broke Down for the first time on KFAN - Texas Rebel Radio and thought that this is the best example of song writing that I have heard in a long time. The rest of the album is definitely reflective of what song writing should be."
