"He is a raconteur and road dog who says he misses banging around America like it's his back yard," says Mountain Stage host Kathy Mattea. Sponsor Message Before diving into more recent works, Snider shared a trio of oldies including the epic, Shel Silverstein-esque song, "Just Like Old Times," which inspired the 2021 film, Hard Luck Love Song. Losing three of his musical heroes this past year, including Jerry Jeff Walker and Billy Joe Shaver, Snider shared the tune "Handsome John," which he wrote in memoriam of longtime friend John Prine.
