East Nashville Skyline

""He is the Prince Albert of my heart, and the Mark Twain of East Nashville, wise and delightful.""--Elizabeth Cook, singer-songwriter--Elizabeth Cook ""I could endorse and brag on my friend for a whole lot of things and in almost every direction. His commitment to his craft (the craft). His commitment to being vulnerable. To being a student, a historian. His commitment to being mysterious AND approachable. His desire, ability and execution of the requirement to COMMIT TO THE BIT. That is a prerequisite. That's what it takes. Deniro. Dylan. Pryor. Warren Buffet, the other Buffett... the list goes on for a while but not forever. Todd is in that world, according to me. No matter what bullshit he comes up with, I absolutely believe him. Even when it's only because I want to. That's either a character trait, a character flaw or just a character I really love. I just love him. I believe him. I believe in him. Is he full of shit? Duh. Do I give a shit? Duh. I'm in for all of it. He lets me be me. Loves me anyway. He kind of reminds me of ice cream... I scream You scream We all scream for Elmo Buzz Tipsy Gypsy Flash aka... Todd""""-- Jack Ingram, singer-songwriter --Jack Ingram ""Today Todd Snider is a legendary singer songwriter and raconteur par excellence, but I knew him the wide-eyed student. Brian T. Atkinson and Todd Snider are kindred spirits, writers who color outside the lines at all costs and always stay true to their calling. I watched Todd start out from day one as an aspiring songwriter and am so proud of the artist and living legend he has become. Reading the stories in this book brings back so many great memories and am so glad Brian has taken it upon himself to share them and Todd's immense talent with the world""--Jenni Finlay, co-author of Kent Finlay, Dreamer--Jenni Finlay
