Here's a fun video I made with Slaid Cleaves back before I got the channel up and running.
A humble American songwriter talking about a grateful American songwriter.
Thanks Otis for this interview. Slaid’s song Rust Belt Fields will always be a favorite of mine; “no one remembers your name, just for working hard.”
Slaid is one of my favorite people. Only get to see him every few years, but every time its an awesome show, and he's always a wonderful gentleman to chat with afterwards.
"The days I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, well, I have really good days." Ray Wylie Hubbard.
Slaid Cleaves deserves all of the love he can get. As does Ray Wylie. Austin was such a great place to live for so many years. I have been to the Horseshoe Lounge many a time. The best time was always outback and just watching the goings on.
Great to see Mr Cleaves. It's been a long while since I last saw him at the Cactus. Ray W Hubbard-many of us first learned the name from Jerry Jeff Walkers's intro to London Homesick Blues on the Luchenbach album in 73. Both those guys are national treasures and I'm glad I have CDs of theirs-only wish I had more. There were periods of my life when money was tight and some of those records are out of print now and $$ if you can find them. Both gents are among my favorite singer writers. I appreciated the part about Jimmy LaFave-miss him. Super nice guy the one time I spoke with him at SXSW. I wish the Austin live music was as vibrant as it was pre pandemic
Ray Wylie Hubbard IS a wonderful person, great song writer and performer, He is authentic, curious and a keen observer. I'm glad our paths crossed more than a few times while I was living in Central TX.
Otis... I really dig these working musician road warrior stories you share with us all. Your interviews with gigging musicians who have spent years on the road, not only brushing shoulders with luminaries, but their own experiences as working musicians are fascinating, and you find folks who know how to tell a good story.. Thank you so much for doing what you do, and your music too.
Thanks,Slaid is a great songwriter,and Ray is my all-time favorite,the King of the Grizzled,I learned about Slaid through Ray,watching the Hippie Jack's show,and been listening to Slaid ever since,being sober 13 years,One good year,and of course,my drinking days being over,Drinking days,is one of my personal favorites.Whenever,Im going through a bad spell,that song reminds me,where I been,and where,I dont want to revisit,Thank you Slaid!
Slaid is so talented as a writer and so good live. “Drinking Days” is such a good tune of his among so many. Back in 2007 in another life promoting shows in San Antonio at the old Leon Springs Dancehall which has since been torn down. The first show we ever booked was Ray Wylie Hubbard. He was the nicest person as was his band. Judy was firm but not at all hard to do business with. Just such a class bunch of good folks to work with. Needless to say the show was classic RWH and wonderful. Love your videos thanks for doing them.
Otis, I just absolutely love the motel chic of your videos. And of course the stories and the way you get these people to deliver them. Thank you.
Slaid used to come play my open mic nights in Portland, Maine back in the late 80's. Esp a joint called 'Angie's' on the working waterfront. He always reminded me of a young Hank Sr or Woody. I always knew he would be famous. He and his gf, Karen, were the nicest, sweetest kids you would ever care to meet. If you still see Slaid, tell him Kenny Grimsley says hello! Happy Holidays, Otis, love your channel, brother!
I love Slaid Cleaves! I remember reading Dylan’s Chronicles where he talked about visiting Woody Guthrie in his old age and failing health, and receiving reams of unfinished songs. Wilco and Billy Bragg did such great work with that material
Slaid and Ray both are very humble and genuine people. So much talent and generous with their time.
Never caught him live yet , but I love his music . Great video Otis 😁👍
Well, you got both of my favorite artists in one sentence for your title sir! I've watched all your videos but I'm so happy to see slaid cleaves on here.
Hey Otis, I've been watching your videos for a couple months now and just heard your music for my first time a few minutes ago. you have a really great singing voice! cheers
‘Breakfast in Hell’ is a modern day classic, the root of folk. Love Slaid Cleaves. Great story…..it’s been a lot of feathers these days.
Saw Slaid the first time at the Kerrville folk festival in the early 2000s. Enjoyed this!! Thanks!!
