Todd Snider brings a hip sensibility to his rocking brand of country music. The style is strictly alternative country, melding the best of rockabilly, folk, rhythm & blues and modern rock, with a "deep country" musical groove.
For R&B fans, there's "Easy Money" and its blistering guitar attack, which, incidentally, is red-hot throughout SONGS FOR THE DAILY PLANET. For those who follow current college radio charts, there's the talking blues of "My Generation (Part 2)," a humorous litany of contemporary cultural icons. "That Was Me" is pure country, with its husky vocal and "regular guy" theme. The blues shuffle "Trouble" is a saucy track, while "You Think You Know Somebody" is a post-Dylanish ballad. And on the jazzy, Tom Waits-ish "Joe's Blues," Snider "slips on the dark shades" and gets his fingers a-snapping.
Todd is a first-rate songwriter, ready to join the league of cutting-edge country boys like Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt and Steve Earle. He also exhibits qualities of rough-edged heartland crooners like John Mellencamp ("This Land Is Our Land"). Snider's lyrics are insightful, clever and often humorous, and his performance is energetic, emotional and wide-ranging.
