Todd Snider, Prolific Songwriter, Gone at 59

“I’ve only been good at this one particular grift. I can go into a Folk Music house and play those three chords…Anytime I’ve tried to deviate from my one little shtick that Keith Sykes taught me I’ve always ended up with the car in a tree.” – Todd Snider, July 2007

It has been shocking to read reports of prolific singer/songwriter Todd Snider’s death, and it has been painful to read the the loss to so many in the Americana music world. So many of my personal friends and music business professionals who I love and respect clearly loved Todd Snider.To them and to all of Todd Snider’s fans, I offer my 2007 conversation with him where Todd is very much alive. May God welcome him home. Can’t wait to here what Todd comes up with next. -Redbeard
