East Nashville Skyline (Reissue)

A little more than fifteen years ago, Todd Snider recorded East Nashville Skyline, the album on which Snider took creative control of his music and staked his claim to songwriting greatness. Because turntables had not yet made their comeback, East Nashville Skyline was not issued on vinyl when it was first released in 2004, so to honour the fifteenth anniversary of the album, Snider’s Aimless Records drop a vinyl version. Twelve songs made the final cut for the album, including three covers. The nine Snider originals included some his most memorable compositions: Play a Train Song, The Ballad of The Kingsmen, Nashville, and Conservative Christian, Right-Wing Republican, Straight, White, American Males. The latter song elicited a call from another of his mentors, songwriting legend Kris Kristofferson.
