Nashville Pine is a textured exercise in melding the best of traditional, old-timey sounds with what makes Nashville Country Music so recognizable: plenty of pedal steel, rocking electric guitars and drums, a feel-good fiddle, and a full-bodied lead vocalist who knows twang when she sings it.
These Nashville musicians are used to their fullest potential, and this is a record any country artist would be proud to make.

 Nashville Skyline
Depending on whom you talk to, it is either the coolest shamble of Victorians, bungalows and Section 8 housing populated by all sorts of artisans and bohemians, or it's a possibly dangerous place with druggies, knuckle-dragging ne'r-do-wells and a few idealistic liberals with no common sense thrown in for good measure.
That East Nashville reminded me of home was more due to the vibe-y cultural mix and that most of my Memphis buddies moved here than the attraction to living dangerously.
The Radio Café featured some of the finest talent to grace Nashville, and Litz, in many ways, was its soul and the personification of this neighborhood's great heart.

Once again he escaped with a little less stomach lining and a head full of songs that are replete with the wry humor, observations, and confessions that have garnered him a loyal fan base.
Even though the song is not autobiographical, there is a lot of Todd Snider within the lyrics, and when he ends the album with "Enjoy Yourself," it feels as if he has reached a point in his life where he may be getting things under control.
East Nashville Skyline may be a bit too relaxed and not quite as focused as his previous discs, but the sheer enjoyment of making music can be heard throughout and a revitalized Todd Snider has crafted another gift that, one hopes, will not be his last.

 Rockzillaworld Todd Snider East "Nashville Skyline" By Dante Dominick
You know, it's a shame so much schlep originates in Nashville, 'cause there's a lot of great stuff emanating from the storied music city/glitz factory today.
In fact, there's so much good stuff, if any other city had such a concentration of creative, hell-of-an-act musicians it would be unerringly glorified and it's name would be a badge of honor for its local musicians and bards.
Well, East Nashville Skyline, Todd Snider's fourth for John Prine's Oh Boy Records, is one hell of a record regardless of its geographic origins.

Following the new country direction of John Wesley Harding, ol' Bob did it again with Nashville Skyline, which I believe to be a masterpiece.
Not too long, and soothing all the way through (except for maybe "Nashville Skyline Rag," which is uptempo and reminiscent of a group of guys sitting on a porch playing), if you like Bob and you like country then you will like this album.

 Todd Snider: East Nashville Skyline: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Suffice it to say, Snider has released the wittiest and feistiest album of his career, one that distills the wit, melody, and bristly songwriting of his previous albums into a dozen concentrated songs bolstered by a rowdy backing band that includes long-time cohort Will Kimbrough.
"Nashville" purports to defend the city against its detractors, but the song rolls along on Craig Wright's Memphis boogie piano and extols the virtues of Texas country music and Bluff City piano player Jason D. Williams.
But "there ain't nothin' wrong with Nashville," Snider sings, "that we can't fix in the mix." Similarly dodgy, the timely "Conservative Christian, Right Wing Republican, Straight, White, American Males" (that title just sings itself) isn't just about how those extremists blame "tree-huggin', peace-lovin', pot-smokin', porn-watchin' lazyass hippies like me" for the country's problems.

 Paste Magazine :: Review :: Todd Snider - East Nashville Skyline :: Oh Boy (Page 1)
Those who’ve witnessed the harrowing train wreck a Todd Snider concert can be will know that the longtime folkie and roots rocker has also been involved in a continuous wrestling match with personal demons, coming up on the losing end more than once.
Fresh out of rehab (again) and returning with his sixth studio album, Snider shows on East Nashville Skyline that he is still one of the finest songwriters and best-kept secrets in the musical world.
Musically, there’s nothing particularly new about the material on East Nashville Skyline, although there’s enough variety in the old—’50s rockabilly, ’60s-influenced topical and protest folk songs, ’70s country rock—to make the listening experience worthwhile.

 Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
y first exposure to Nashville Skyline (and Bob Dylan in general) was on a family vacation to Florida in my dad’s Pontiac sometime in late 1987.
It was one of only four tapes that my dad brought along on the trip (the others were the White Album, an early 80s Merle Haggard album whose name escapes me, and a mix tape consisting mainly of CSNY, ELO, Roger Miller, and Steppenwolf) and, by far, the one I liked the least.
Every time Nashville Skyline entered the car’s tape deck it was met with a chorus of "This guy can’t sing.", "Put the White Album back in.", or bad imitations of Dylan’s voice.

"Nashville" is a rolling, rocking look at the city of music that will have you bopping beyond belief.
