For the last 20 years, Slaid Cleaves' "One Good Year" is one of the songs that I "have to" listen to on New Year's Day. This obviously, besides celebrating the lives of Hank Williams (September 17, 1923 - January 1, 1953) and Townes Van Zandt (March 7, 1944 - January 1, 1997) who both passed away on this day and are both integral parts of the American song-scape.

Billy Joe Shaver's son died close enough to Jan 1. "John Edwin "Eddy" Shaver (June 20, 1962 - December 31, 2000)" So have a drink for Eddy, too. RIP

[@AMichaelUhlmann]

@@left-handedstan4506 Yes I'm aware of that, Eddy & Billy Joe were friends of mine and yes I was at Poodie's (music club owned by former Willie Nelson road manager, the late Poodie Locke) that night, where Billy Joe was scheduled to play, showed up and received tons of support from musicians and friends.

@@AMichaelUhlmann Thanks for the thoughtful response, Michael.

Very well put, Yes his way is individual key as well those before him. Free of comparison. Another person giving gifts to us that keep giving.

"Will your darkest hour write a blank check on your soul?" Genius.

[@dakinikiss]

I saw SC in a coffee shop in Newport News, VA in the late 90s. I left that night with 2 CDs and a new favorite singer-songwriter

"Will your darkest hour write a blank check for your soul"

[@TheSteveStrom]

This is such a great song. Been listening to Slaid since he was busking on the streets of Portland Maine in the late 1980s.

[@reggiekenner1527]

I first caught Slaid way back at the Strawberry Music Festival. Immediately LOVED his songs and his stories. After his workshop i told him, "I hope you brought a lot of CDs, you're gonna need 'em". I asked later that weekend and he said they'd sold them all. The next time he played at the festival, a friend had come, brought his wife and her mom who had become a big fan. I saw Slaid on the dirt road, walking away from the music meadow and asked if he'd come say hi to Nicki's mom. He is just the nicest person. He came over, met them and stayed a while. I think I caught each of his online shows from home during the Pandemic. We still catch his shows at McCabe's in Santa Monica when he and Karen are out west.

[@nancynusheen7682]

First time I'm hearing this... gave me goosebumps! Beautiful. Thank you, Slaid Cleaves ❤️🙏🏻🎶🎵

[@cmurphy12002]

Woo-hoo one of my favorite songs from a great Texas singer-songwriter. I first heard this at Anderson Fair here in Houston in 2000.

[@SkeeterMcGraw]

I just discovered this guy last month. Love the simplicity of this tune and will incorporate it into my repertoire. One good year would be great after a bad decade...

[@willnorton6433]

"It's new years day Just like the day before" Is among my favorite opening lines. Great song.

[@johnc5160]

Thanx Otis!

[@thelatenightnomad]

Listen to this damn song every New years day!

[@SkipWay]

great song by a great songwriter.

[@MrRonniedog]

My all-time favourite Slaid song. Love the version with the trumpet solo.

[@RattlesnakeBob]

I've been chasing Grace ....but Grace ain't so easily found .................and if there's a better line been written recently then I don't know of it . I saw Slaid a few times over here in the UK and he is truly staggering 'live' .

[@TakeCareTV]

I recently discovered Slaid's music and I have to say that I love what he does. Thanks man you write such amazing tunes.

[@DebGrayATX]

This wa such a great night of music. 3 of the best songwriters around

[@jlgreen10]

This song is my mantra for 2017, 18...

[@dbow5077]

Heard this for the first time this morning at 5:30 on the way to work. Reminded me of the first time I heard "Fork In the Road" by Green Day or "All I See is You" by Shane Smith and the Saints.

[@trinadinapoli4779]

Much better video than the one I took at the Kuumbwa in Santa Cruz...Best New Year song ever...

[@kenkrausse3624]

My life, never ever give up

"I gotta get out of here Just give me one good year"

[@kennewicksheri]

Not asking for much.... just give me.... One Good Year... please....

[@dbelew]

I spy Bruce Robison.

[@fuhquedooshe]

Slaid great sound, but EGO is not your amigo...ADD SOME OTHER PEOPLE TO THE MUSIC>. it's not just about you. xhug.

[@reggiekenner1527]

Obviously you've not seen a Slaid show. Sometimes he has a band, sometimes only one other side person. I like him alone or with others. You should likely stick to the Nashville version of music.

[@samenoname4927]

. . . Wrong.
