Todd Snider sounds great, at least most of the songs I heard.
But my second favourite (after Steve) still remains Tom Russell

The Road it Gives, The Road It Takes Away
Let it Go

(Both from "Borderland" but my most favourite album is "Love and Fear")

Wow, Todd's song for Eddy Shaver, Waco Moon, nearly made me cry. Absolutely beautiful, and incredibly sad and truthful.

Not everyone is so lucky as Steve :-| 

Viky, since you liked Todd Snider check these out.

Check out Dan Kwas 'A Life Too Long Forgotten' ... resembles Steve Earle and Bob Dylan. Some good songs on this CD. I have the CD and it was my most played of last year, and this year, in fact . His CDs are available from his site or from Amazon. www.dankwas.com

Also, check out my friend and fellow band member, Joel Shawn, on MySpace. His recent album Regine is very good. Another one I've played a lot. CDs are available directly from him.

Hmm... I remember you from the New West forum! Welcome 'Kwas-dude'!!!

We don't have a cure for cancer but we've got 16 million different versions of the Lord of the Rings. What. The. Fuck.

I'm just discovering Robert Earl Keen Jr. Sounds quite good.

All the best musicians come from or live in Texas ;-)

well, you could say that all the best people come from Texas....

don't throw anything at me!!!!

it's just that i am from Texas and...well, you know....

well, sweetie, you know me, Texan to the end.....

they have the stupid death penalty and a lot of rednecks, but they can also boast of some incredible artists, Steve and Waylon and lots of others....

the good ol' days.....

hope you are doing well....

you have to get the new Copperhead Road, when you can, incredible...

I am soo glad that Todd Snider is getting some "play" on this website, he really deserves the recognicion.  BTW, he was born in 1966, so he is going to be 42 in October.  Acts and appears a lot younger though, standing barefoot on the stage he looks barely 30. He and Eddy Shaver were good friends, guess they were probably close to the same age. We are spending our "economy stimulus rebate money" on taking a trip down to Texas to see Billy Joe Shaver next month - finally something to thank George W. Bush for!

byrish > I've seen you on Billy Joe Shaver's discussion board

I didn't know James started it again. I really coudn't stand the stupid Yahoo mailing.

ha!  that's a good one...also, do you know why Texas doesn't fall off into the Gulf of Mexico?  because Oklahoma sucks...

hey, it can go both ways....

and, i don't hit anymore...i have sun room priveliges and can use big girl scissors now, too...
