So here's the sister album to Todd Sings Kris. Basically it is of the same caliber, studio recordings Todd made available for his listserv/fan club the year following his Kristofferson tribute. Now Mr. Snider has stated many times that Jerry Jeff is a huge influence on him. In fact he has stated in one epic story how Jerry Jeff is actually the artist who influenced him to become a singer songwriter. Again not much to say about it, just a great tribute by an artist paying homage to one of his musical heroes. See Eighteen Minutes for more info. (Side note: 18minutes said there was artwork already, but the links were dead so I made new ones (love how this one turned out BTW). Also thanks to all the folks who sent this to me.)MP3 @ 160

Thanks for these "Todd Snider Sings..." collections. They're great. I'm just starting to get into Todd Snider. (I'm more of an old school honky-tonk fan than Americana/alt-country). He really sticks out from the crowd for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing album! Have been listening to Todd for a long time, but this one was new to me. Maybe even one of his finest recordings (my favourite so far is "East Nashville Skyline"). Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIs Kris and Jeff the only cover albums he did?
