FILE UNDER BETTER LATE THAN NEVER



On April 24, Todd Snider released Time As We Know It: The Songs of Jerry Jeff Walker, a tribute to his original musical hero.

"I've always hoped I'd stay around long enough to get to make a record of Jerry Jeff Walker songs," Snider says. "He's the guy I saw at 19 and decided to try to be like. His are the first songs I learned."

The album was produced by Don Was (Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones), and features friends and admirers like Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn, Elizabeth Cook, and Amy LaVere.


The release follows close on the heels of Snider's acclaimed album 'Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables' on Aimless Records.
