This Brooklyn by way of Pennsylvania (Langhorne) songwriter created one of my favorite albums of 2009, Be Set Free, which landed at number 14 on our year end list. Songs like "I Love You, But Goodbye", "Back to the Wild", and "Say Yes" are simple, earnest, and heartbreaking all at the same time, but the disc isn't all melancholy. Slim's music has a joyful exuberance and there's no better way to see that bleed through then seeing hime live, as he's garnered a reputation for his intense and passionate live performances. He's been going nearly non stop since the albums release last fall, and a new set of dates kicks off tomorrow night in Hoboken, NJ, later on hitting the West Coast and Midwest in February. All of the dates are with April Smith and the Great Picture Show(who's song "Color" you can check out below).April Smith- "Color"
