Todd Snider

Todd Snider is a songwriter’s songwriter. For three decades, the Nashville troubadour has written the kind of songs that other artists quote when they talk about honesty, humor, and heart. John Prine once said, “Todd Snider writes great songs and also is a great performer. He totally connects with every audience.”

With High, Lonesome and Then Some, his fifteenth studio album, Snider looks inward again, writing what he calls “a song cycle about the effects of love on the human condition.” Recorded at home in Hendersonville, TN, the record feels loose and lived-in, full of the dirt-road blues and slow choogle that have defined his career.

The stories stretch from the hilarious to the heartbreaking: a never-ending flight with the Count of St. Germain in “Unforgivable,” a last shot at love on “While We Still Have a Chance,” and a wink toward mortality on “The Temptation to Exist.”

He’s been called “a true songwriter with a fresh, original spirit” (Kris Kristofferson) and “a national treasure” (Trey Anastasio). Jerry Jeff Walker once said, “Todd Snider is the best. He has found a way to take his feelings and turn them into songs that can get an audience.”

High, Lonesome and Then Some proves that Todd still can.
