If you’ve never heard of Todd Snider then it’s time you did. His lat­est album “Peace Queer” is to be released on the 14^th. That’s either today or tomor­row, depend­ing on where you live. I’ve been lis­ten­ing to Mr. Snider for some time now and it’s never a let down. He con­sis­tently deliv­ers amus­ing dit­ties, deliv­ered with dry wit. The genre he works in is typ­i­cally country/bluegrass with folk lean­ings. If I had to com­pare him to another artist it would be John Prine. One of my all time favourites is “Statistician’s Blues”. It’s a good one to start with if you want a sam­pling of Snider’s mus­ings. Check it out, you may be have a new artist to add to your playlists. As for me I’ll be pick­ing up the new album as soon as I can.
