Songs For The Daily Planet
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. You Think You Know Somebody is a post-Dylanish ballad.
Snider is a first-rate songwriter, ready to join the league of cutting-edge alt.country icons like Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt and Steve Earle. He also exhibits qualities of rough-edged heartland crooners like John Mellencamp and his lyrics are insightful, clever and humorous.
