Slick has a record deal.

Oh Boy Records has signed Daniel “Slick” Ballinger. “…Slick is the real deal. The spirit of the blues moves him like the spirit of the lord moves a preacher.” According to the Oh Boy website, an album is coming in 2005. Oh Boy Records is the home of John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Janis Ian, Steve Goodman and others. Slick could do worse. [Thanks to Terry McVey for heads-up.]
