 | In Spite of Ourselves [Read More ...] Description: You've got to hand it to John Prine. On the first song on this collection of duets, he plunges valiantly into "(We're Not) The Jet Set," singing the part made famous by George Jones, the Caruso of country music. And Prine, never blessed with the most pliant pipes, promptly pancak... |
 | The Missing Years [Read More ...] Description: John Prine was a battle-scarred veteran of the '70s "new Dylan" club and a superb craftsman whose modest commercial success found him without a major label deal in the '80s. Prine's solution was to move to Nashville and roll his own, setting up the tiny Oh Boy imprint and making ... |
 | Bruised Orange [Read More ...] Description: It took John Prine seven years to make his peace with the "New Dylan" expectations that accompanied his critically hailed 1971 debut. Which isn't to say that the Illinois-born singer/songwriter didn't make some fine music in the years that passed between his initial recording and... |
 | Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings [Read More ...] Great CD.:John Prine's material is never disappointing. This is just another example of that. My favorite is "Humididty Built The Snowman". Best tune among the album's great tunes. If you're a fan of John Prine, you won't find a disappointing album in the man's catalogue. |
 | A John Prine Christmas [Read More ...] Description: Featuring a crack backup band that includes Spooner Oldham, Benmont Tench, and Chris Etheridge, John Prine Christmas is positively electric and rocking coming from a guy known for his rustic charm. Prine recorded this eight-song EP with a vague Christmas theme as a stopgap betwee... |
 | Souvenirs [Read More ...] Description: When John Prine wrote and recorded the likes of "Hello in There," "Angel from Montgomery," and "Souvenirs" in the early '70s, he came across like a Social Security recipient in a young man's body. As he revisits those tunes and more favorites from his salad days, the wisdom Prine... |
 | John Prine Live [Read More ...] Description: "I've been thinking lately 'bout the people I meet," sings Prine at the beginning of "Fish and Whistle." Yes, we all think about those people, but only Prine can relay their (or his own) heartbreaking stories in such a heartwarming fashion. The bulk of this cozy record was record... |
 | German Afternoons [Read More ...] Review: Laid Back Prine:Man, this is good stuff by the master songwriter John Prine, backed up by New Grass Revival,a tight bluegrass group that mainstreams on progressive bluegrass,giving Prine an added touch to this album. This album kicks off with A.P. Carter's Lulu Walls,a good upbea... |
 | Pink Cadillac [Read More ...] THE LEGEND THAT IS JOHN PRINE ,UPSTAGED BY BAND!!:Oh My GOd, Who is that lead player?
I wonder if he's the same one who played guitar on "Pretty Good".
If you like bar bands with escape velocity power, buy this. |
 | Live on Tour [Read More ...] Review: Prine Is Live And Kicking:This is a great live show by the master songster John Prine,may be one of the best live albums recorded.Just listen to the explosiveness in the opening intro on Picture Show,or this rockin' blues rendition of Quit Hollerin' At Me,better than the studio v... |
 | Storm Windows [Read More ...] Review: One Red Rose In The Archives:John Prine's Storm Windows,is a good solid album and showcase two of the best Prine self-penned compositions in Prine's long list of classic material. The title song Storm Windows, and ,One Red Rose, might well be Prine's best written songs of all. Th... |
 | Aimless Love [Read More ...] Review: Smoke 'Em if You Got 'Em:"Aimless Love" is probably the mellowest, and one of the most approachable, of all of John Prine's albums. The lyrics depart from the elliptical approach used in "Common Sense" and other albums. The tunes flow on from song to song. My favorites are "Be ... |
