In the five years that Todd Snider was signed to Oh Boy Records, he made a name for himself as the heir apparent to the legacy of singer-songwriters in the vein of John Prine and Jerry Jeff Walker.
Though he’s now signed to Universal Records (on which he released 2006 LP, The Devil You Know), Oh Boy is set to drop a compilation of rare and unreleased tracks culled from Snider’s time with the Nashville-based imprint on April 3rd, 2007.
Peace, Love, and Anarchy (Rarities, B-sides and Demos, Vol. 1) will feature “Snider’s songs at first blush,” according to an Oh Boy press release. Some have been previously released in more polished form, others have made the rounds as bootlegs, and some will be new to even the most industrious fans, but in true Snider fashion, they will probably all be awesome.
Among other tracks, the compilation will include:
· "Nashville"
· "Feels Like I'm Falling In Love”
· "Deja Blues"
· "Feel Like Missing You"
· “East Nashville Skyline,” the title track of Snider’s album by the same name, which didn’t end up on the LP
· "Cheatham Street Warehouse," featuring Tommy Womack and Lloyd Green
· "Combover Blues"
· "I Will Not Go Hungry"
· "Dinner Plans"
· "Stoney," from Snider’s unreleased tribute to musical hero Jerry Jeff Walker, recorded as Snider performed Walker’s songs from memory
· “Some Things Are”
· "From A Rooftop”
