Manzanita was what hooked me…. Perfect 1st choice… 👍👏👏👏

[@wyattheitkamp55]

Manzanita is a great album. I’ve been listening to Blue Railroad Train a lot lately

[@0066keith]

I was always told that the BEST thing about Manzanita is that there is no banjo on it. 😂

AereoPlain came out when I was a high school sophmore. Turned me into a Norman Blake fan. 👍

Thanks Zeb! I have an Apple Music account and all 10 are on Apple Music. I just created a playlist “Zeb’s 10 Bluegrass Albums” so I can check these out. Some I had listened to before and some not, but I will be checking them out. 153 songs, 7 hours and 46 minutes worth😊

You are one of my favorite players. I’ve enjoyed listening to you with the Snyder Family Band and now Appalachian Road Show. Somewhere in the future I’d love to hear a Zeb Snyder Band record. I’ve been a big fan of your channel and have tried to steal some licks from you to no avail I might add. Anyway I think this maybe one a my favorite episodes. You are such a thoughtful and well spoken young man. I’ve listened to a lot of these and will definitely go back and listen to those I may not be as familiar with. For suggestions for future episodes may I suggest your favorite rock and Southern rock albums and how they may have influenced your playing. It would also be great if you could do an accompanying video where you demonstrate some of the licks and ideas of these great players and how they influence your approach to playing. Best wishes in the coming year.

Larry Sparks is awesome! Love the song ‘I’d like to be a Train’. Great video, thanks very much.

[@TheRealJ_Hizzy]

coming back to this video a year later is kinda cool, Manzanita and AereoPlain are such cool records that i had not really listened to closely..... all the records here are amazing, and your descriptions are spot on. Thank You for taking the time to make this video!

[@mikebastiat]

What? I thought Billy Springs invented bluegrass?

[@mikebastiat]

Wish I could take a lesson or two with you. You still on Zoom? In person yet?

[@zebsnydermusic]

I still do Skype lessons full time. Shoot me an email and we’ll set something up. [e-mail]

[@justhollerhandyman]

What's your go-to platform for getting a listen on these? I'm kind of in to albums now but I suppose the simplest way is Spotify. I did try a KZbin Music trial and that was actually very good. 15$ a month I think.

[@dondeese7167]

Richard, I have an Apple Music account and all 10 are on Apple Music. I just created a playlist “Zeb’s 10 Bluegrass Albums” so I can check these out. Some I had listened to before and some not, but I will be checking them out

[@justhollerhandyman]

@Don Deese I'm gonna try the Amazon Music version since apparently I'm all paid up on that platform. don't have it all though...like the Lou Reid album. The Apple Family Plan looks reasonable...didn't know they had that. Thanks.
