i think the guy that compared todd snider to doug moreland was eating too much dog food. maybe he's the one that carries the boombox in doug's entourage. goddammit.
THE LAST GUY TO REVIEW THIS ALBUM IS AN IDIOT. MAYBE HE PREFERS TO HEAR JACK INGRAMS IMPRESSION OF SNIDER OR MAYBE PAT GREENS. NOT ME. TODD IS THE REAL THING. ASK BILLY JOE SHAVER. I THINK THIS C.D. IS BRILLIANT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. SEVEN STARS.
BEST EVER.
There are some classic Snider tunes on this disc. There are also some throwaways and that is disappointing when one considers what a prolific songwriter he is. Certainly there were others that merited consideration. In fact I know there are because I've heard him play them in concert.
I am hard on Mr. Snider and only give this three stars because it doesn't stand up with his past work. But he is the one that set the bar so high, not me.
That said, it is better than 98 percent of anything that will come out this year... so get the record. Just don't expect to leave it in the changer as long as you did "Songs for the Daily Planet" or even "New Connection"
Simple, amazing....this is my favorite album.
todd sniders step right up is moveing insightful funny bitter sweet and rocking todd shows he has a woody guthie love for people just plain folks
If you like Americana music - you should add this guy to your collection. Funny guy - great lyrics. If you like Doug Moreland you'll love any of Todd's CDs.
Track this guy down and see him live as soon as you can...until then, spin this CD in your stereo...It is amazing!
