Album: Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets by Gary Jules (2001)
Genre: Folk | Style: Rock/Pop
Record Label: Down Up Down Music
Format: Album

Description: Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets was a 2001 album release by Gary Jules under the Sanctuary Records label. Despite the year of release, the album took a long time to reach the charts in both the UK and USA; it reached both the UK Top 40 and Billboard 200 charts in 2004. The highly popular Tears for Fears cover "Mad World," which was also featured on the Donnie Darko soundtrack and in the Gears of War trailer, is the last song listed on the album (although an untitled hidden track is actually the last song).

Artist Background: With 1998's Greetings from the Side, Gary Jules emerged as one of the most gifted songwriting talents to surface during the decade. The album was ultimately sunk by poor record label handling and, as a result, sadly neglected by an unknowing public. It would be three years before he resurfaced with the independently released Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets, an album that was even more stunning and advanced on all the promises of the first. San Diego native Gary Jules Aguirre -- professionall... Associated with Pop-Rock movement. Known for Rock/Pop style.
