Todd Snider
For the first 10 years of his career, country-tinged folkie Todd Snider was best known for penning drawling, smart-ass novelty songs like “Talkin’ Seattle Grunge Rock Blues” and “Beer Run” that were good for laugh but didn’t exactly suggest future greatness. Then Snider released 2004’s East Nashville Skyline, a ravaged, darkly funny album he wrote and recorded after going through rehab for Oxycontin addiction. The Devil You Know, released in 2006, was even better, depicting with humor and subdued yet palatable moral outrage a collection of losers trying to make their way in Bush’s America. This year’s The Excitement Plan continues Snider’s winning streak, welcoming a collection of has-beens and never-weres with a warm hug and a cold beverage.
