2019 Contenders: Cabin Fever

Another Americana star who looks (and sounds) as though he's fallen off the hay-truck today, and a long time favourite of mine: Todd Snider. Todd's dipped off my radar are a little over the past few years but this latest record is being touted as a back-to-basics return-to-form (he even went to record it in Johnny Cash's cabin to give it that authentic folksy feel).

Here Snider proves once again that there's no finer contemporary proponent of the talkin' blues (unless you know different - Dan Bern can do it pretty well too), tracing everything that's wrong with America (and the world) today back to that silly little box in the corner of your living room...



And if that's not enough to whet your appetite, his Timeless Response To Current Events really is... timeless.
