Todd Snider - Alright Guy

[@charlespeterson3877]

I recorded this guy off public tv's airing of Austin City Limits on vhs tape. When he came to Milwaukee to play at Shank Hall, I bought a ticket, saw the show and after the show, he chatted with the audience. I brought the video tape with me and he autographed it. He really is an alright guy!😊

[@SouthernFarmingTV]

Aint heard this in 25 years and just fount it.

[@johnlane4987]

As a recovering human being, I identify with this song…

[@Clamman4U]

Todd's giving me some hope...even after 74 years to get "right" and be that "all right" guy!

[@petelemaitre9266]

Yeah there's a lot of us around these days to keep you company bro alright guy ? ❤

[@jazpaulallen2409]

Johnnie Walker RIP❤

[@christianhagman4350]

When everything sucks, take a cold beer and listen to this song! Believe me, everything gonna be allright again! :D Nobody is perfect!

[@dryfuss1955]

Very under rated talent., this dude is a musical genius

[@michaelulbricht9438]

Todd's been around for a while and released a number of good albums. Good natured, eclectic music done well. He's an alright guy!

[@michaelfrasier8826]

Todd rules!

[@Lilzsnr]

Johnny Walker played this last week on his last ever radio show. The greatest DJ ever. Goodbye JW .... thanks for decades of great music and playing album tracks when the suits wanted crappy pop tunes.

[@tammiedickens3313]

My youngest brother moved back from Florida played this cd for me I love this guy. It ain't like I got abunch of dead people in my trunk

[@mimi2the4]

A true talent from back when musicians had talent and autotune didn't exist

[@jamesaldersea7401]

Hello from October 2024. Always loved this tune. Classic! 😎♥️😎

[@dryfuss1955]

Underrated talented dude !

[@tntkop]

I saw country singer Tracy Byrd in Huntsville, Alabama in 1994. He has a hit with one of Todd’s songs: “Trouble”. He gave props to Todd for writing such a great song. Been a fan ever since.

[@Bugtortoise]

How did I never hear this song until now? I think it's my new theme song. Great song, Todd. Love it.

[@thomasmcgowan8563]

Been a fan since the first time I heard this song.

[@chrmason1]

Me too. Had this CD in my car in High School and this song hits home even harder now that I’m older. I try.

[@nitro102]

Loved this song since I got the CD back in the day!

[@AI-mg3hy]

I once witnessed a wedding proposal coming from the booth behind me at an Applebee's in the mid-2000s. They were both very drunk. Applebee's drunk. Her first response was to ask him why. He replied basically with the chorus to this song.

[@hrhdmk5845]

😆😆😆😆😆😆!

[@charlespeterson3877]

Now that's classic,man!

[@Lilzsnr]

Great story.

[@randompetsandnuns]

Todd, I can listen to this song every day ( and gotta dance ). It never gets old. Love you, man. ✌🏻💜😇

[@briandickson9046]

I've only been familiar with the Jerry Jeff Walker version up to this point. This is awesome!

[@mc98smusicmoviereviews93]

Damn, I love Snider's sense of humor.

[@angelaluz405]

Never fails to make me smile.

[@kimkirkpatrick6755]

angelaisabunny Oh god me too! In fact anytime I need to smile I reach for Todd!

[@snow1snow1]

So do I, Todd. So do I. Thank you for writing down what I couldn't say. God bless brother. Joe Mende

[@zanerichards8348]

A trip back to the mid-90's, when I was in broadcasting school in Springfield MO and things looked pretty good really.

[@aknuthatch]

Todd Snider Rules!

[@mrpele8110]

Saw him in Newcastle , England once , fantastic concert . A Very underated and alright guy .

[@Caperhere]

Love your songs and the stories accompanying them, Todd. Don’t know why I’m only seeing this now. Also saw one of you back in the day, singing at South by Southwest, about pesticides, etc., just came through my feed this week. This is an easy radio song, we should be hearing you on radio and on here more. Best luck to a more than all right guy.🌸🌸🌸

[@Nycholas17]

An outstanding song on every level...and the video is a fine supplement. The heart of this tune comes first, flash n' dazzle second; let everyone live up to this stellar example...and feelin' good's good enough!

[@wesleystout199]

"She said she didn't never want to see me anymore, and I still don't know why."

[@cdane7]

Todd’s one of the greatest songwriters in the world. It’s kind of mind boggling listening back through his live archives on his site. I highly recommend it. Dudes gotta eat.

[@garyedwards6701]

Hey he's got a quite a few good ones this whole CD is good

[@allanfifield8256]

Saw him at the Fat Fry away back then. Great show!

[@pig_HUB]

Wishing I was born a lot sooner and could have partied to this

[@goatroper100]

See him in Edmonton Alberta with John Prine. Awesome memorable night!

[@brian5o]

Geoff May that sounds like one hell of a show. I would have enjoyed that myself. I hope you did.

[@kevinkaiser2501]

Legends!

[@kelarens7856]

@@kevinkaiser2501 one shuswap lake thummers up bud!

[@nitro102]

Seen him the last 2 years. He's coming back to Seattle again in October!

[@LostSok]

Todd back in Boise in two weeks! He IS an alright guy! Hell yeah!

[@christianhagman4350]

Alternative country from heaven! :)

[@Nycholas17]

Brains, brawn, and charm...Todd's one of the best music makers to emerge from the 90s. 👍 HELL YEAH.... 🎸

[@deshlerhank]

Long live the 90's!

[@phillipfolis4399]

I regret not going to see him in Memphis last night at the WEVL benefit

[@rogersaylor1892]

Excellent song

[@TrojanPride1982]

Great song. Love it.

[@mtrojan21]

Want to

[@heathodierna4911]

getting to be my favorite song

[@Lordregiwald]

My therapist recommended this to me. This is pretty good.

[@dw8840]

Haven't heard this song in at least 20 years. Used to hear it on Q95 in Indianapolis.

[@jimturner7646]

This guy knows my life 🙄

[@Allergictocatstoo]

Thank you KPIG Radio for playing shit tons of Todd Snyder!

[@lindadawson5928]

My favorite song

[@MisterMikeTexas]

I remember this song from 25 years ago. The radio station Q102 in DFW, Texas did not censor "dope" or "dicks". I guess you could call this style PG 13 roots rock. Goes good with John Mellencamp.

[@robertneil9548]

A very young Todd.

[@grandpabobbydean]

Jesus Vevo...do you think we can't handle the words dope or dicks? The way Todd wrote it is the way we want to hear it.

[@Lowerthetone1]

@SouthCoastMackem It was the first song he played when he returned from being suspended from his Radio 2 drivetime show. That was the first time I heard it and I've loved it ever since!

[@yricyric]

Todd IS an alright guy! But, damn, VEVO you censored the hell out of really good song!

[@sdaddyo67]

Love this!!!!!!!!!!

[@solarguy1702]

My theme song to my life and just coincidence that we are both from the west side of Portland.

[@dewayneinglish4098]

I really do!!

[@scottguenthner4106]

I had that book!

[@SheilaIrishBrooklynGirl]

Love this song dedicated too my son Nico

[@DMBFAN12001]

I am glad those two words were censored. I am not sure I could have handled the explicit version.

[@Thatsmisteroldguytou]

Me too.

[@williamedwards7010]

yes yes its todd

[@itsmeitsmeearnestt.5772]

And I to think I'm an Alright Guy.

[@tommcfadden5232]

I think so too.

[@mikemike1266]

I'm alright too

[@randompetsandnuns]

Yer an alright guy! 👍🏻

[@79Jill]

If I could me any musician it would be you Todd Snyder.. I love you.. I have been a loyal fan.. ;)

[@immrlizard]

Great song. Sorry that they felt that they had to censor it.

[@n0-one0]

The video was released in 1995, probably censored so it could get played on TV.

[@robertbentzel8105]

Oooooh how dare you call cops dicks

[@SouthCoastMackem]

I remember that Johnnie Walker (then a DJ on "Classic Gold" in the UK played this as a tribute to Ronnie Lane when he passed way, it was the first time i'd heard it, and it was just perfect for the occasion. An excellent, witty and wry song (well, the uncensored version is better!). :-)

[@cidermonkey5616]

JW Still playing this to this day - Top DJ /presenter and an alright guy

[@craigmagee]

Was Rodger Scott who opened my ears to him...and many more.

[@funfinder27]

Just bring some of ya mates down & play in New Zealand-please!

[@NRubinstein1]

Sorry -- Love this fellaheene.

[@deastwood3]

Loved this song the moment I heard it. Reminds me of my daughter justifying some rule violation by saying, "At least I didn't do any drive-by shootings!"

[@hkdabro]

I got to meet him

[@Birdman-wq1ny]

Anybody know when where in Oregon again?

[@AllenGarvin]

Were we really such prudes only 20 years ago?

[@c7customleather]

First time I heard this song was Coby Yates. Thought is was a Gary Allen song. Glad I found the original 😁

[@johnkincaid2521]

been workin on this one i cant wait to meet todd one day and beat him at his own songs strong statement i want to live up too !! cant wait for tomorrows show !!

[@bocanut411]

Jerry Jeff Walker Rocks this one too!

[@lineflatlandsmo8335]

...and sweeet 2 ;))

[@solarguy1702]

The theme song of my life and I lived in Beaverton right before I left the islands. If the bio is correct, Todd went to Sunset High School in Beaverton. I believe the jail in this song is Tillamook County.

[@sqmotorsports9230]

He has another song on the same album about being in jail and something the guys in there call the Tillamook County lie detector test

[@TheInsaneWombat]

@outalinecowboy It's a trippy movie anyway, so I figured I might as well see if I could figure out what the more distorted things were. And then I saw it. o.0

[@n0-one0]

Did they censor the word dope? Seriously?

[@mr.squidward9936]

Yeah, wtf?

[@stevemiller1203]

Good that they censor it, might make me heroin addict if they didn't

[@icitnow]

I can’t believe it! Wtf!? It’s the word “dope” for god’s sake. And “dicks” too?

[@ravinroadie2620]

I thought at first he just mouthed it, but you’re right it must’ve been edited. I definitely SEEN the word dope. !!

There used to be a great rock station in Terre Haute, IN that played this song a lot. RIP WZZQ

Is that the gay station?

Noice

[@number1cabdriveriniowacity736]

Seemed Alright last Wednesday. And the funniest thing, all night this woman up front was part of an ever increasing resistance to whatever the house was telling her to do. Right when Todd sings about the cops in the third verse, in comes a squad and nearly makes this resisting woman do the electric chicken before cuffing her and pulling her out of the middle seats of the fourth row. Todd kept singing semi aware that this was going on between us and him. Shit happens, but not usually at a folk concert. I Blame it on Cid.

[@randompetsandnuns]

Well personally I love the secret service mandolin player . . .

[@bkipniss7451]

It's pretty amusing that they mute out "weed" but leave "scumbag" in :)

[@johnsmith-ff5tz]

The last 10 years have been hard on Todd, he now looks like Iggy Pop and Keith Richards love child.

[@garyedwards6701]

Everybody has skeletons mine just happen to be n the trunk instead of the closet.LOL
