Todd Snider
That Was Me 1994-1998 (Hip-O)
With 17 songs from the three albums Snider recorded for Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville label, plus a previously unreleased grunge version of Buffet's signature tune, this is a commendable primer to the former San Marcos-based singer-songwriter's early days. Those that know Todd from his more recent acoustic persona might be surprised at the louder version presented here, but "Trouble," "Easy Money," and "Horseshoe Lake" prove that his ability to write tough, witty, and insightful songs has rarely waned.
