    Todd Snider "Time As We Know It: The Songs of Jerry Jeff Walker" - 2012 LP

    Jerry Jeff Walker might have been the one to do it....JJW was the one that sent me exploring....that got me into Waylon....that made me wanna hear Buck Owens....I remember screaming "Red Neck Mother" at the top of my lungs the first time I got typsy....I remember blasting "Takin' It As It Comes" driving around the Hill Country in Tejas searching for game and bass fishin'.....Jerry Jeff was our anthem....our institution...and we were/are devoted followers....He changed my life in high school.  Apparently he had an impact on Todd Snider as well.  Snider's quirky/folk/wink with one eye stare down with the other-style is the perfect candidate to cover Jerry Jeff's impressive cataloge....Just as Phosphorescent did justice to Wille Nelson...Snider pays perfect homage to an American Legend:
