LOVE This! ❤ John Prine made me proud to be from Muhlenberg county KY!
I put together this playlist of Chuck Mead telling stories about Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Buck Owens, Guy Clark and more.

Damn, I love Todd Snider so much it's hard to pick just one, Statistician Blues, Conservative Christian, The Ballad of the Devil's Backbone Tavern and the story of the ballad. Saw him open for John Prine and it was a magical night. But, I was a scoutmaster for many years and I taught my troop Beer Run, it became their trail song and they would sing it at the top of their lungs on the AT and caused quite a stir at Philmont Scout Ranch in 2006. So Beer Run.
You're living right, David! : )
@@otisgibbs Love the channel dude...
You got any Fred Eaglesmith stories?
Todd Snyder telling the story of playing rhythm guitar on "Don't it Make You Wanna Dance?" with a guy named KK Ryder is my favorite. Strictly a song would be "Beer Run".
"Stuck on the corner" is just one of many favorites to many to choose just one this was the first TS song that popped into my head.
John Prine is absolutely an American treasure. Todd has a new album I just really like. It’s great. So everyone should definitely check it out.
Favorite TS song: DB Cooper! Brings me back to when I was a kid and the story of DB Cooper would be featured on America's Most Wanted.
Enough, from Step Right Up, is my favorite Todd song. Honorable mention to Beer Run, because that was my introduction to Todd, hearing him on The Bob and Tom show.
John Prine..."Everybody's Friend"...I must have wrote 30 poems & lyrics when we lost him...Two favorites by Todd Snyder are "Waco Moon" & "You Think You Know Somebody"
I could definitely see Chuck hanging out with Todd. As always, I enjoyed the stories.
Dude, your channel is my favorite. Your guests, their stories, your un miced questions, the editing, your intro, your outro, the settings, the color or lack of, the length, the flow and everything else.
My fave TS song is now Dope is Dope
Thank you!
Love the alien DNA reference. I always wondered why some folks walked, talked, wrote, played and sang funny... in a good way. Now I know.
PLAY A FUCKING TRAIN SONG.
That was my intro to Todd closely followed by Just In Case. They're probably still my 2 favourites. But mainly I just love anything where Tod can't help laughing at his own stories because that shit is contagious.
I could listen to Chuck and Todd tell stories all day.
Must be nice to have friends like this.
Hard to pick one Todd Snider song, but I'll go with Train Song. It just hits me in the feels every time I hear it.
Got tickets for Todd in San Luis Obispo CA. on October 16th 9pm Fremont theater
D.B. Cooper & Can't Complain come to mind.
Love me some Prine........Otis too...👍👍🎵
Going to SLO as well on the 16th
@@jeffblackmon5016 Heeeeeell yeeeea Jeff
The Prine story is so classic. Wow what an experience to have.
Tillamook County Jail. Love it! Love Todd and John.
Chuck is great! I could listen to him all day!
Chuck is a great story teller and he has lived a bunch of good stories.
Just Like Old Times! Mostly because it's my daughter's favorite and I remember us singing it together at our first Todd show in Bowling Green Ky
Great story, John Prine a treasure for sure.
The 'Dope is Dope' anecdote comes on at exactly 4:20. Cosmic!
I wish I was clever enough to have done this on purpose. : )
@@otisgibbs #IllegalSmile
Chuck never fails to give me a belly laugh every single time I hear him talk. The way he has this look all the time that he's waiting for you to figure out how funny or cool something is...and it always is!
"Dope is dope, and you're up onit!! My wife heard me in the back laughing LOL
This is the second Chuck Mead interview I’ve seen on your show.. this guy is like the yin to your yang.. I really enjoy listening to the both of ya..! Thanks Otis..!!👍🏼❤️
"It Was Xmas in Prison"..
1'st thing I heard on a Bob Dylan ThemeTime..Sampler.
Knew Wait a min.This is really great.!!Getting to hear more n more.all the time.!True Master.inmyopn.
Absolutely loved it! Been listening to Todd since the beginning. Hard to pick a favorite but 45 miles is definitely a go to song for me! Thanks as always Otis!
So many Todd songs I love. I'd have to say it's everyone of them, just like I'd say about John's songs. Mission Accomplished is a good one.
What makes this channel so great is that I, as a musician, can relate to many of the see e stories. Thanks, Otis.
Hard to pick just one but for today I'll call it for "Too Soon to Tell"
I once saw Todd’s bass player, Dr Joe Marencek, break 2 strings in the first song of their set. Thats some funky shit! That would make Bootsy Collins proud!
Chuck Mead is hilarious. Great storyteller.
Thanks Otis really enjoy your Chuck videos
Its been Handsome John lately but almost all his songs are my favorites. )
Another darn cool interview 👌, thanks Otis.
Thanks, James!
I'm incapable of ranking things, and Todd has SO many great songs, but I'll go with "Just Like Old Times," especially the studio take where he just nails the perfect tone. "No sir, officer, you don't understand - we're just two old friends drinking wine/I'm sure she is, but that's not all she is/She is also an old friend of mine."
I was looking for Todd Snider podcasts (or maybe it was the Mojo Nixon ep) when I stumbled across Thanks for Giving a Damn many years ago. OMG are those two funny! Thanks for all the great work, Otis.
Thank you, Joe!
Lookin for a job! I know its one of his more radio friendly songs, but I love the message and the attitude...
Love it ! Thank you Otis and thank you Chuck for the stories. Anything that brings a smile these days is much appreciated!
I'm with ya, Davis!
Thanks for putting these together. I always enjoy them
Thank you, Steve!
I love the content Otis-you seem like a great dude! "Hey Friends" with my Saturday morning coffee after a shit week is like therapy. Favorite Todd Snider song is "Can't Complain".
My favorite Todd Snider song is I spoke as a child . It will be played at my funeral.
I really like "Alright Guy" and "Beer run". Todd is one of the best!!
Statistician's Blues, Doublewide blues, DB Cooper. Not sure how many times I have seen Todd but still love hearing him tell his stories. Got to briefly meet him years ago on Father’s Day with my youngest son. Mom said who is that hippie with you in that picture on Father’s Day 😂
I get to see him for the first time on Sunday and im so pumped! Its hard to pick a favorite song but any of them that have 'blues' in the title really get me.
So cool you got a father's day pic with him!
Been a John Prine fan for many years, started listening to him in 1976 as a 16 year old. 2019 bought a ticket to see him at Austin City Limits and forgot to go, unfortunately we lost him soon after that. Thanks for your stories Otis l really enjoy your channel.
In the Beginning, Is This Thing Working, and America's Favorite Pastime are a few of my favorites.
Thanks Otis for another great story!
I don’t think Todd Snyder has a bad song but Sing A Train Song hits me hard. Reminds me of a good friend that passed a few years back from living a little to much.
The highlight of this one was the simple mention of Fred Eaglesmith though, there has to be some good stories floating around about him. I can listen to Trucker Speed on a loop for hours, makes me think of the same buddy.
Love BR549,and I have since day one,I had every c.d.until,I went to the joint,and Todd Snider is the Roger Miller of our time,Up kinda late last night is a killer tune, Double wide blues,but my favorite,is,Life's to short to worry...I think hes an Alright guy.
dope is dope and you're up ON it LLLLLOOOOOL brilliant !!!! love this series man
So Very Cool. Loving Todd Sniders songs but really love his version of LA Freeway. So Awesome
When he started singin' the Dope song again, I started laughing loud because my volume was up and I'm high as a kite and knew the people at the dinner table heard it too lol.
This is so good. I just love these anecdotes. I would love to see these two (Mead and Snider) on your channel together.
Love all Todd's material. Just like old times and Working on Song are great ones. But there are so many great ones it's hard to pick.
Jimmie Dale's song "These Blues" suggests his days holding up the bar ended at some point after that tour.
Picking a favorite Todd song is a fool's errand, but I'm game. For whatever reason, Greencastle Blues is brilliant to my ear; omg that chorus melody! The Devil you Know always gets me going. You know how Sturgill Simpson had that iconic SNL moment with "Call to Arms"? In a parallel universe Todd could have had a moment like that with TDYK. Play a Train Song. Too Soon to Tell. There is my top 4 for today. Tomorrow it may be different, but Greencastle Blues will still top my list. I think.
I love these these videos you do
I want to thank you that you take the time to reply,God bless you
luv them there story's brother.
I think you should do a Chuck and Todd storytime video, where they both tell stories trying to out do each other.
New(ish) Prineville fan, impressive guy musically.
Corpus Christi Bay. Anytime JP is in your headline I’m there!
Great vid Otis, you and Chuck are awesome story tellers. My favorite Todd song changes from day to day. But it's hard to beat Devil's Backbone, combined with the story about Trog, Large Marge from Luckenbach, and MIss Virgie, it makes me smile and laugh every time. Thanks for the great channel !!
More Chuck!!
What's your favorite Todd Snider song?
Been hooked on Snider songs since that first record, I’m thinking Eddy Shaver played on it…pretty much every Snider song will bring a smile and a giggle. Not sure if it’s my favorite, but the classic grifter song “Easy Money” certainly captured my imagination. “Talkin’ Seattle Grunge Rock Blues” still cracks me up…still giggling
I think they are all my favorite, but I think I need to hear the message in "Never Let A Day Go By" as often as possible (I intended to say this yesterday...)
I like most everything I've ever heard Todd Snider sing, but my favorite is probably ""Just Like Old Times." "The Devil You Know" is a close second.
Snider & Prine, my two most favorite people!
I’d cover for him! And I’d cover for anyone who would cover for him.
Sunshine & Standing on the Corner are pure genius!
Sorry, late for the party... this girl has to work!
Good times.
alien DNA got me here, lol cool
always good to have cover lol
Dope is dope..claasic😅😅 good stuff otis
Todd Snider Rules!! RIP John....
Used to see derailers every time they came to town.
TS just keeps evolving and getting better and better with each release, so favorite song has to be from the latest. Let’s go with Battle Hymn of the Album for all the musical history baked into a perfect and perfectly modern 3 minute protest song.
okay... I'm gonna be singing that earworm all day long now.... : D
To soon to tell “at the fortune tellers on the 2nd floor, in bright red letters hanging on the door, it said closed… I think it might have been some kinda sign” 🔮 🌀♾
hahah "I'm covered!"
Favourite Todd snider song??? Come on Otis, that’s a crazy thing to ask!!
John Prine "Can I have your autograph"? Fuck me running.
Ballad of the Kingsmen for Todd.
Waco Moon & I spoke as a child
Mr Gibbs...my favorite thang about tod snider is the kk rider story...not a song but that man's funny and shit.
Otis, I understand you're not a drinker at all but you need to open a bar dude and invite all your storytellers, plus yourself of course, and then charge us all a dollar a head plus drinks just to file through and listen for a half hour at a time. You would make a fortune!
Sounds like a solid business plan, Paul! ; )
@@otisgibbs You'd never get me out of the place!
Roll us up one LoL
Looking for a job & I love the video
