I am sure Todd Snider is thrilled that REK covered his song. REK doesn't hog the mic at all, as a matter of fact, they both kind of leave it un-manned for much of the performance, as a way to defer to one another. Of course this is Todd's song, and he has a great version. REK's studio version has much better musicianship in my opinion, but both are great songwriters, singers, storytellers, and performers.

Step aside REK...Todd is in the house...TS is way better at what he does. The best part of the song was when REK wasnt singing....his voice is getting too whiney...

Knuckleheads is the best place ever to sing a train song. Apparently it happens all the time. I once saw Todd get interrupted by a train at a bar in Kalamazoo, MI. He broke into Folsom Prison Blues. What a goddamn moment. Thanks, universe.

Yah! Get loud, get happy! I saw REK at Kate Wolf Festival in 2010 (to die for!), then Todd Snider & American Taxi at Kate Wolf Festival in 2011. All THAT, AND a cuppa coffee!!! Lovin' it!

These guys are two of my biggest heroes. Would've been awesome to see them on stage together. But only todd can sing a todd song. And REK never captured Larry Mc's songs either. However guys, its not about singing it better, its about recognizing a great song and honoring it with a version on your album. All these dudes are homies

I have seen REK many many times and it is obvious that this particular evening he was on the money and having a gas, he wasn't mailing this one in at all thanks again for posting it!
