 Todd Snider - Rocks A Bit Harder Apr 02, 2008
Snider's sophomore release is another nice mix of singer songwriter roots rock / country. I don't think it is quite as good as his debut, but it definitely has it's moments. The album rocks a little harder than the first one although there is plenty of acoustic material as well. This would be the last album he would record for Jimmy Buffett's Margaretville label and also the last with his original backing band The Nervous Wrecks. Good songs on this one include "Elmo And Henry", "Moon Dawg's Tavern", "Horseshoe Lake" and others. This is another good Snider disc and worth picking up for fans.
 five stars! Jul 26, 2007
if you're a Todd fan and you don't have this, then you're not a complete Todd fan yet.
I like Todd Jul 06, 2006
but I'm baffled by this CD. The first track listed is "Elmo and Henry", but track 1 is just some short, faint instrumental. The lyrics to "Elmo and Henry" are in the CD liner, but no such song on the CD. Also, the liner contains lyrics to two songs titled "Dance, Dance, Dance" and "Promises to Keep", but again, no such songs on the CD. What is on the CD are some pretty cool songs by a talented wordsmith and musician. I highly recommend it! Just can't make sense of what's in the liner and what is and isn't on the actual CD.
Just Brilliant Feb 06, 2006
Ever since I first saw Todd Snider at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha, NE back in 1999, I have been a huge fan. I was lucky enough to actually meet and hang out with Todd and all the Wrecks...what wonderful and talented guys. I love Todd's style of writing and the heartfelt lyrics are just brilliant. Everyone I turn on to Todd just raves. This CD happens to be my personal fave...along with Viva Satellite and Songs for the Daily Planet. At least one of his CDs is always in my CD player and always will be.

Todd's second effort fell a little short... Jun 10, 2003
of his classic debut CD, "Songs From The Daily Planet." The outstanding numbers here are "Tension" and "Horseshoe Lake" and there are a few other pretty good ones, but his recent three releases on the "Oh Boy" label are more successful overall than "Step Right Up" was. If there are any Snider "completist" collectors out there, and I know there must be, I'd get this one just ahead of "Viva Satellite" which I rank as his least interesting CD, although some disagree about that. One thing in favor of "Step Right Up" is that it does feature The Nervous Wrecks, his original band, who got left out when Todd lost his MCA deal following "Viva Satellite."
