Title: Todd Snider's an "Alright Guy"
Review: Todd Snider is an excellent songwriter, as he proves with "Songs for the Daily Planet." He's confident enough in his abiility to hide the album's best song, "The Band that Wouldn't Play," after the last listed track is completed. This witty parody of the Seattle grunge rock scene actually managed to gain Snider airtime on alternative rock stations despite the fact that he is at heart a country artist.Of the rest of the material, the highlights have to be the very amusing "Alright Guy," the Who-referenced generational effacing putdown "My Generation (Part Two)" and the confessional "That Was Me." Snider's natually wicked sense of humor enlivens the best tracks, and is somewhat reminiscent of John Prine at his best. Only when he gets political, like on "This Land is Our Land," does his music sound forced.Overall, a catchy and amusing album from a quirky artist who neatly straddles the line between rock and country.
