Our Take

In his latest album "Caterwaul & Doggerelin," Canadian folk icon Bob Snider showcases his signature blend of whimsical storytelling and toe-tapping melodies. With a title that sounds like an unruly children's tea party, Snider weaves a colorful tapestry of quirky characters and off-kilter observations that are sure to leave listeners grinning from ear to ear.

From the opening track "Soggy Bottom Blues," Snider's clever wordplay and catchy hooks draw you in like a moth to a flame. With a twinkle in his eye and a wry grin on his face, Snider tackles everything from existential ponderings to the joys of a good old-fashioned sing-along.

One of the album's standout tracks, "Tea and Biscuits," finds Snider delving into the mundane beauty of everyday life with a twangy guitar and a rollicking rhythm. It's a toe-tapping ode to the simple pleasures that make life worth living, delivered with Snider's trademark charm and wit.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Caterwaul & Doggerelin." Snider also delves into darker territory with tracks like "Midnight Howl," a haunting ballad that explores the depths of loneliness and despair. It's a stark reminder that even in the midst of life's joys, there is always a shadow lurking just around the corner.

Overall, "Caterwaul & Doggerelin" is a delightful romp through the imagination of one of folk music's most beloved troubadours. With its blend of humor, heart, and soul, Bob Snider's latest offering is sure to leave a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

About the artist

Bob Snider

Bob Snider is the enigmatic musical wizard that Canadian folk music didn't know it needed. With a career spanning over three decades, Snider has carved out a niche for himself as the quintessential troubadour of the Great White North. His music is a whimsical blend of storytelling and raw emotion, with lyrics that oscillate between profound introspection and tongue-in-cheek humour. Snider's distinctive voice, reminiscent of a whiskey-soaked Leonard Cohen, adds a layer of depth to his already captivating melodies. His latest album, "Moose on the Loose," is a testament to Snider's evolution as an artist. Tracks like "Maple Syrup Blues" and "Poutine Love Song" showcase his knack for weaving together Canadiana with universal themes of love and loss. But don't be fooled by Snider's laid-back attitude and folksy charm. Behind the quirky persona lies a seasoned musician with a keen eye for detail and a knack for crafting infectious hooks. His live performances are a testament to his talent, with audiences hanging on his every word and strum. In a world saturated with manufactured pop stars and cookie-cutter indie acts, Bob Snider stands out like a beacon of authenticity. He is the musical equivalent of a warm hug on a cold winter's day - familiar, comforting, and undeniably Canadian. So grab a toque, pour yourself a double-double, and let the soothing sounds of Bob Snider transport you to a simpler time when music was meant to be felt, not just heard.
