I just bought Todd Snider’s new album The Devil You Know from iTunes. Its one of those infectious albums that grows on you the more you listen to it and eventually makes it into the daily rotation. The Devil You Know is full of foot stomping melodies and hilariously insightful lyrics. In my opinion the album is not quite as good as his previous release East Nashville Skyline (which happens to be one of my all time favorite albums) but is still wonderful and shows off Todd’s brilliant songwriting skills. So go buy it today!
I’ve been a huge fan of Todd for a long time now and I believe that he is the best songwriter to come along in the last 15 years. I’ve seen him live and he is a riot. He seems like the type of guy you’d love to spend an evening partying and playing music with. I just wish he’d make it to the southwest sometimes!
