The Best Americana of 2009
This year saw a flood of plaid-shirted indie-roots bands building on the beardy throwbacks who gained country-rock traction in 2008. And while mainstream country music continued its evolution into '80s pop metal, plenty of roots acts turned the other direction with back-to-basics records.

Slaid Cleaves: Sorrow & Smoke: Live at the Horseshoe Lounge
One gets to hear Cleaves’ stage banter, but he really doesn’t talk that much. He’s a bit of charmer, and for the most part lets the songs do the talking.

Slaid Cleaves: Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away
This is the album of Slaid Cleaves's career. It's also the best alt-country album of 2009 thus far.

Slaid Cleaves: Unsung
Slaid Cleaves comes up smelling like roses again with this album, even if he had nothing at all to do with writing any of the material here.
