Todd Snider

Keith Richards said humor was rock and rolls greatest weapon, Bob Dylan proved it and Snider takes it to heart. For years, Snider has been a satirist, class cutup and the rare artist who understands and celebrates the connections between the Stones, Dylan, Bill Hicks, John Prine, Mitch Hedberg, Kris Kristofferson, Hunter S. Thompson and Randy Newman. Sniders records are fun even when they aren't being funny, funny even when they're sad, and no less truthful for the laughs. I think I'm doing okay, said Snider, who is the only folk-singing fellow of his generation who has earned both the blessings of his esteemed inspirers and the career path that is allowing him to fill their rooms. Billy Joe Shaver writes about Sniders talents in his autobiography. Kristofferson calls him A true songwriter, Jerry Jeff Walker says Of all the young songwriters out there, I think Todd Snider is the best, while Prine calls him great.
