Want Of A NailĪ longtime devotee of soul, Todd has been known to cover vintage R&B numbers during his live shows throughout the years. To this day, the song has been a staple of his live shows, and with good reason. This straightforward rocker, featuring some fantastic guitar work by Jesse Gress, is a highlight of the 2000 release One Long Year, a collection of tunes first featured on Todd’s online music service Patronet. The result harkens back to Todd’s signature sound, while still managing to sound freshly original. On his 2017 LP White Knight, he brings in a group of collaborators - including heavyweights Joe Walsh, Donald Fagen, Trent Reznor, and Daryl Hall (who shares vocals on this unforgettable track).

Todd has always followed his own muse and for the last couple of decades, he’s experimented with blues, electronica, metal and even reimagined classic tunes in unexpected genres like lounge music.
