I must agree with the reviewers who say "see him live!" You won't regret it, he creates an incredible magic that you'll find in every recording thereafter, including this CD. Todd's a genius for saying the things we can't quite express.
His music makes me laugh and feel.I haven't seen him live but would love to.I can understand why he is on the same label as the great John Prine.
In response to Kate 76, I had the same feeling about Todd. That was, until I saw him live. He's still playing the songs the same on stage as a solo artist. The studio sound is alot different. So, to those of you who love the albums & haven't caught him live YET - you are going to be blown away! After that, the albums are even more enjoyable.
Man, these songs are great and hit me just right. They could be cry in the beer songs, but I feel like they offer more of a restrospect....good feeling songs
Like many Todd Snider fans, I really dug him in the mid-90s where his acoustic, folksy songs tell more of a story. Todd is what I liked to call "coffeehouse music" - regardless of what genre you'd classify him as, he's the sort of chill sound that works well with sitting back with a warm beverage and hanging out with friends. However, that has changed as of this record. There is a decisive country twang in these tracks, and the storytelling has given way to tired singer/songwriter cliches. I miss the mid-90s Todd.
If you are fan of well-constructed pop/folk songs, you should own this album. It's long on clever though non-pretentious lyrics. It's short on filler. This is a desert-island album for me.
