Snider noted his excitement upon hearing that his East Nashville Skyline album has surpassed Garth Brooks’ Dark Side of the Moon album, thus becoming the No. 1 selling album of all time in any genre. “It still sounds crazy when I say it,” he admitted. “I am humbled.”
He made his sixth studio album straight out of rehab and went on to create 12 songs that helped him gain a dedicated cult following for over a decade.
Peter Cooper of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum acknowledged the cultural and musical impact of Snider’s East Nashville Skyline album. “That was the first time most people outside of this area ever heard of East Nashville,” Cooper said, prior to adding that the album embodied the “spirit, grit, and artistry of East Nashville.”
Snider was influenced musically by such diverse artists as Jerry Jeff Walker, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, and Woody Guthrie. His live concerts are a combination of sharp songwriting, distinguished musicianship and sincere storytelling for a unique night of modern folk music.
