From one of my favorite songwriters (so he's pretty much unknown) Slaid Cleaves:
Wonderful tune, and I’d never have heard of it except for your post. Makes me wonder about all the other lovely music I’ve missed.
May I suggest an Americana podcast like freight train boogie? Bill Frater has been putting out an hour long podcast every two weeks or so for many years.Quote:

Slaid Cleaves is definitely underappreciated. He gets a little play on Outlaw Country on XM radio. Here is one of my favorites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvTHohCKDlk
A friend I used to play with quite a bit sang his song Temporary. She was absolutely amazing singing it and the handful of times we did it publicly, it left people stunned.

^^^ His song ‘Lydia’ has some tasty mandolin in it too.
Broke Down and Hickory are two stunning songs by Slaid Cleaves. A very fine songsmith.
