Todd Snider plays "Ballad of The Kingsman" at the Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, Colorado. Todd played Telluride, Colorado on this new album release tour. His latest release is called "Peace Queer".
If you ever get a chance to see this man live - take it! A storyteller in an age of pop crap. Need more like this and less of the marketed Disney-esque tween BS.
Composer / original performer Richard Berry sang "LL", ('55), precisely, easy to understand, & family-friendly even by '55's standards. Listen to the Kingsmen's after Berry's, & you'll hear the same words, mumbled. THE REAL STORY: The sax player's mom registered the name "The Kingsmen", so when the record took off, the sax player demanded to be lead singer, so none of of us ever saw the real Kingsmen unless we were Portland teens in '63.
I'm not sure if you mean that you think that this is a cover song? If so, it is not. This is a Todd Snider original, with a little Chuck Berry and Marvin Gaye mixed in for flava!
He´s such a good musician, with a good voice, great sense of humor and a lot to say. And he´s soooo hot too, really sexy! But I wish he wouldn´t get high/drunk so much. He doesn´t need that, he´s a beautiful person in every way.
This song is beautiful in it's simplicity. This song changed my life.
Perhaps the finest of Todd's songs.
I love this..thanks for sending me this great tune Suze ..LOve it ..and thanks for your friendship and encouraging words ..Means a lot to me

If the delivery of any artist is any better, I've yet to hear it.
And on this articular version, a little Hot Chocolate, too.
