Todd Snider/Jesse Aycock

Todd Snider isn't your typical country singer-songwriter. The guy smokes a ton of weed (something he doesn't try to hide) and rambles on in interviews and during live performances, often embellishing stories with half-truths and exaggerations. He's very funny and might have missed his calling as a comic if it weren't for the fact that he's such a consummate songwriter. His latest album, 2012's Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables, is a terrific collection of folk-y tunes about topics ranging from the world's creation ("In the Beginning") to bitter break-ups ("The Very Last Time"). The current tour aims to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut and the tenth anniversary of East Nashville Skyline. (Niesel)
