And then there's Todd Snider, who was all three in one, and something else entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTodd Snider was one of the most beloved country-folk singers in the United States, often compared to Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, John Prine, and dozens of others. He became not only a new-century Dylan but a modern-day Will Rogers—an everyman whose intelligence, self-deprecation, experience, and sense of humor made him a uniquely American character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn live performance, Snider's monologues were cheered as much as his songs. But never before had he told the whole story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning the gamut from personal memoir to shaggy-dog comedy to rueful memories of his troubles and triumphs to sharp-eyed observations from years on the road, I Never Met a Story I Didn't Like is for fans of Snider's music, but also for fans of America itself: the broad, wild country that has produced figures of folk wisdom like Will Rogers, Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Tonya Harding, Garrison Keillor, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Todd Snider's new book is required reading for anyone who's a fan of his left-of-center, observational style of songwriting. Part autobiography, part modern folklore and all purely entertaining.” —The Boot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“[Snider] combines the sly phrasing of a stoner, the perfect timing of a stand-up comedian, and a mastery of the tiny detail.” —The New Yorker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Todd Snider's compressed story songs are so vivid and knowing that they seem completely plausible ... But the most compelling character may be Snider: a lowlife Randy Newman.” —Rolling Stone\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45369073270831,"sku":"9780306822605","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/8122\/0143\/files\/9780306822605.jpg?v=1779155288","url":"https:\/\/highfivebooks.org\/products\/i-never-met-a-story-i-didnt-like","provider":"High Five Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
