    When I see old Todd Snider, it really looks like an older version of young Todd Snider.

    Todd himself sent me here, and I am so glad he did! We have heard this tune how many times, and it just does not get old.
    Todd's version here is honest, tasteful, emotional and moving! Beautifully done my friend, as any one that digs the Stones like you do is family!
    So glad this was recorded and shared with all of us, magnificent!!!

    you know how, sometimes, when something just sounds so good when you read a description of it you are almost afraid to listen to it because, you know, it might not sound as good as the thing you thought of when you heard the description? this isn't one of those times.

    The folk version just makes the song more haunting. Suddenly it's a Mississippi Delta, make-your-way-to-the-crossroads ballad that has you wanting to look over your shoulder just to make sure Ol' Scratch ain't there. Goddamn, Todd Snider, you took a classic and created something entirely unique and, in my opinion, a little more powerful.

    Been a huge fan since I heard the Excitement Plan and have tried to learn many of his songs since. I've not yet been able to see Todd live, but it is high on my list of things to do. Watched many videos of his performances and stories (I love the stories!). It seems a good representation of his sense of humor that he says at the end of this "Wrote that. Today." Thank you for sharing this :)

    • @scbret

I am no musician. However, I absolutely love music. Just wondering what y'all musicians out there might think???
