Group Therapy
Todd Snider has been one of my favorite American singer/songwriters for over 3 decades. In 1994 he released his first album, "Songs for the Daily Planet", and I was a fan from the moment I heard the first song. Hell the first line.
"Did you know that there are people who put us down
For no other reason than the simple fact that we get around?
My Generation, Part Two, Verse Three, Chapter Four
Jackson Five, Nikki Sixx"
At that moment, I knew this man like a brother. I knew his sense of humor. I knew his political ideologies. I knew his soul.
And it was easy to do. Because he poured his soul into everything he wrote and sang about.
Last year, 2024, Todd released a new version of 10 of his albums, in order. And he called them The Purple Versions, because they were recorded in The Purple Building.
Today, I would like to showcase 3 of those albums. 3 of my favorites.
I will go ahead and make it easy for you. You wont hear much of me during this show. I will let the man speak for himself.
