Todd Snider has built a reputation as a great live performer who tours relentlessly. NEAR TRUTHS AND HOTEL ROOMS, his 3rd release of Oh Boy Records (his 6t overall) is an all live collection of songs and stories that represents a typical evening with Snider, his guitar, and his imagination. Co-produced by Snider, this 15 song disc combines his witty songwriting with his engaging storytelling. Recorded in several locations over the last 18 months, this CD includes a bonus track version of "Beer Run" recorded on their air during one of Todd's many appearances on the nationally syndicated morning program Bob & Tom.
