A veritable troublemaker on the American folk scene, Todd Snider, a songwriter
with a caustic sense of humor and an acerbic, always intelligent style of
writing, rose to stardom with a single, "Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues", and
his critically acclaimed debut album, Songs for the Daily Planet (1994). The
American went on to release a dozen albums, often to critical acclaim, but with
a relatively limited audience. A folk, rock and sometimes country artist, Todd
Snider has nevertheless built up a solid fan base since the mid-90s.
