I know Snider primarily from the novelty-adjacent but great song "Vinyl Records." This one is a more straightforward, the tale of one Skip Litz, a hard-drinking, hard-living man, a music lover, who was found dead at his home. The narrator of the song salutes Lutz, taking a small sad solace in the fact that he apparently died with a smile on his face. Snider's ragged vocals and impassioned delivery make him one of a million New Bob Dylans, but to me his sound and his everyman lyrics help him stand out. The rhythm section pounds out a steady train beat, clickety clack. I like the album title's nod to Bob also.
