In Their Words: “I wanted to put out a live album of a one-man-band show to remind the people who listen to me that I know I am a troubadour and folk singer. I am a glorified busker first and foremost and always. The reason I get to explore music in the studio is because I can play it alone on the road. It’s like an unspoken agreement between myself and ‘The Shithouse Choir.’ I feel like we have a thirty-year inside joke going.
“It seems like the only thing they are counting on me to do is whatever I want and I wanted to make this album for them. It starts with this song that on one level is directly to them. You can listen to this as the first song of a new show from an old singer to an audience he’s lucked into for years through good gigs and bad, and he’s back again explaining his side of it. He says ‘it always seemed like the right thing at the time’ just like being here now does…welcome to the show.” — Todd Snider
