Hit: 5 Stars
Clocking in at just under 30 minutes, PEACE QUEER is a powerful little record. It starts off with a Bo Diddley acoustic beat, dissecting the philosophy of Will Rogers. That acoustic rhythm flows on into a haunting rendition of CCR's "Fortunate Son" (the only non-original here), then the wry recitation "Is This Thing Working?" (re-worked later at "Is This Thing On?").
The first four tracks of PEACE QUEER dig under your skin, playing around in the dark, searching for your nerves. When the gritty electric guitar kicks in at the opening of "Stuck On the Corner," the nerve is struck. It's like a gentle massage turning into a full-on assault on your senses. Snider eases back into a more laid-back beat for the remainder of the record, but the damage is done--you're awake, you're alert, and by God you're listening. PEACE QUEER, like all of Snider's more recent releases (as he himself acknowledges here), is not for individuals afraid to look within themselves. Snider seems to suggest that we are all guilty of something, that we are all culpable--but also, more importantly, that we are our own salvation, that we can rise above and beyond whatever unconscious guilt we possess. It's not the happiest of messages, but at least Snider is talented enough to find a positive spin in all this madness. Listen cautiously...but listen carefully.
Peace Queer Poster
Hailed by the NY Times as 'the troubadour for our times, an inventive cross of Dylan and Kristofferson, with the right dash of Tom Petty thrown in,' Snider writes songs that get people talking. Peace Queer no doubt follows suit, as the 8-song effort comments on the world around Snider's East Nashville home. Political, social, economic, moral-take whatever themes you want from the lyrical storytelling, Snider prefers his intentions remain less clearly definedCountry Music CDs
