Summary: Struggling Artist - Rare Footage! - Not So Mainstream!
Comment: A risky strategy!
This video could have been better served, but a struggling artist passing along raw footage in his prime is awesome!
You didn't want him to throw a fishin' line in that ol mainstream.
And he didn't....
This video is the right price with the right stuff in the nick of time.
Just what every TS fan has been needin'. A way out without leaving.
***Super High Quality*** audio and filming done just right.
Very interesting watch as Todd goes face to face with the camera you know.
He looks like, maybe lately, he has been doing alright!
I enjoy it and will again!
Thanks again Todd
and hang in there!
TIME
has come today!

Summary: The Devil You Know , Or Is It?
Comment: After waiting for a very long time for Todd to release something to watch, we are finally given this offering. Being a fan since the very start you can imagine how interested and excited I was about this. After breaking open the packaging, sitting in my most comfortable chair, and pressing play on the DVD player .................... THIS?!?!?!?! Now, I've been lucky enough to see this man in concert, and also lucky enough to have access to many live recordings, and after the hype all we get is a bunch of rehersals and a few snippets of live shows. To be honest with you all, I was so disappointed that I haven't even watched the whole thing yet. If you're a fan like me, you'll want this. If you ain't, I wouldn't bother.
Sorry Todd, you blew it this time.

Summary: STILL Looking For A Job Fifteen Years Later!
Comment: Will this guy ever get a freaking job!
I hope not cause he's too much fuuuun!
We'd miiss him like a long lost frieeend.
It's a long way to the top
if you want to sing your own songs!
I'm glad we made it!
It's been a long time comin'
Devil You Know has more great Todd Snider songs performed extremely well.
Nice coherent studio album
Consistent Quality
These same songs heard live are also very unique and satisfying.
The rocking songs done live in a more toned down acoustic style make the stock for these studio versions sky rocket.
Another Excellent Album By Todd Snider!
Highly Suggested Listening
Recommended...

Summary: 4 1/2 stars.
Comment: i was getting ready for a fishing trip with my father. i was out at the pond behind our house, catching frogs for bait. suddenly i slipped on a wet patch of grass. i felt the icey water close over me. death's fingers tickled on my skin. next thing i knew i was waking up in a hospital bed, hooked up to a lot of expensive looking machinery. i was alone, disoriented, scared. then from down the corridor i heard some music playing: loudly, from a boombox. a nurse walked into the room. "nurse," i said, "what's that music i'm hearing?" she smiled, and in the voice of an angel answered, "that's the new todd snider album." i smiled, too. i knew that everything was going to be alright.

Summary: the devil, or the god
Comment: I keep being tempted to write all kinds of stuff about this CD and then I listen to it again and understand I shouldn't say much, except maybe I reckon Snider has the same attitude about being a poet as Cohen.
And in your dreams you could write a line like 'Black and white cops', in the middle of all that.
God knows I dream of it.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Todd Snider, the East Nashville antihero, can always be counted on to deliver a brilliant spitball of humor and satire, shot across a classroom devoted to John Prine, Randy Newman, Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, and the Rolling Stones. Here, on one of his most instantly accessible albums, he balances troubadourish recounts of personal experience and mythmaking (the getting-mugged-in-Memphis tale of "The Highland Street Incident"), the chronicling of not-so-famous-moments in history (Bob Dylan's ass-whipping of Phil Ochs in "Thin Wild Mercury"), and songs of romantic surrender. "All That Matters," a declaration of marital love with a nearly prayerful electric guitar solo from the great Will Kimbrough, shows how profound Snider can be in his simplicity. But his genius is best captured in the deceptively smart "Just Like Old Times," particularly in an exchange with a cop about a high school photo, carried in a wallet since 1982. Here, on his half-drunk vocals, Snider makes clear what he really is: A professional smart-ass whose bravado masks a wounded heart. --Alanna Nash
