    Once again dedicated to the proposition that the losers also have a history worth hearing, this baldly non-commercial (title, cover, distribution strategy, spoken word pieces, frequent and casual profanity, length), roughly carved yet tightly assembled little piece of heart, mind, humor and humanity qualifies for

    With the help of folks like Kevn Kinney, Patty Griffin, Will Kimbrough, and others, Snider gives us eight songs that pack more wallop than their laid-back vibe suggests.

    Peace Queer includes an acoustic antiwar rant and a ghostly reading of Creedence’s 'Fortunate Son' (with Patty Griffin on backup vocals). But the high point is a ragged bar-band jam about the dissolution of the middle-class dream ('Stuck on the Corner [Prelude to a Heart Attack]').
