	John Prine
		Prine's most gratifying quirk as a songwriter: he takes a journeyman's pride in unifying metaphor and metrical precision, even as he indulges a boneheaded genius for scrambled syntax and loopy non sequiturs.
		Prine cut his debut album, John Prine," in 1971, this one-time Chicago mailman got lumped into that most unenviable of then-current categories: he was acclaimed a "new Dylan." Back then, anyone who strummed a guitar, puffed on a harmonica and wrote his own songs had to endure comparisons to Bob Dylan.
		Prine had the admiration of peers who recognized his originality: Bonnie Raitt's version of his "Angel From Montgomery" became a beloved staple of her own stage act, and Bette Midler recorded an eerie interpretation of "Hello In There," his unsentimental sketch of old age.

	John Prine’s Fair & Square -- Tony Peyser's Blue State Jukebox
		I liked the last Prine album I heard from 1999: covers of country classics done as duets with top female singers like Iris DeMent, Trisha Yearwood and Lucinda Williams.
		As skilled as Prine is at telling stories, he also shows here a knack for pulling back and leaving out a few details.
		Prine sings this as if it’s set in a world where only the moon shines and there’s plenty of moonshine.

		During John Prine's nine-year interval between albums of original material, fans who hailed his recovery from cancer wondered whether he'd ever return to full creative speed.
		The album also reflects Prine's first attempt at producing himself, with the warmth of his rough-hewn vocals finding a comfortable fit among the organic, largely acoustic arrangements.
		Prine rerecorded 15 early classics so that he could own master recordings of a bunch of songs from his first three albums, as well as a few stragglers from the late '70s and early '80s.

	John Prine, Vox Populi
		Prine grew up in Maywood, where his father moved the family to escape the coal mines of Kentucky, though they returned each summer to Paradise to stay with relatives.
		The new album's inclusion of a Carter Family song, "Bear Creek Blues," is a homage to the early influence of older brother Dave Prine, who played fiddle in local old-timey bands and enlisted his sibling at 14 to play rhythm guitar, giving him albums by the Carters, Elizabeth Cotten and Mississippi John Hurt.
		Prine ended up marrying an artist Cook was producing, and their wives became fast friends, "buzzing around Nashville, having a good time while John and I would be hanging around at midnight, waiting for them to come home," Cook says.

	John Prine- a big, fat retrospective- Perfect Sound Forever
		It was one of those debut albums that jump out at you with impossibly good songs that leave you saying "Damn, where’d he come from?" "Twenty-four years old and he writes like he’s two-hundred and twenty," Kristofferson wrote in the liner notes.
		Prine’s songwriting is strong; it’s the overly laid-back backing that can’t make up it’s mind whether to be folk or country that undercuts the songs.
		Perhaps the key to the success of Prine as a rocker is the fact that Epstein settles on a set unit of solid rock musicians.

	PBS - Austin City Limits
		That was obvious 20 years ago when his first album, John Prine, inspired critics to dub him the new Dylan; Dylan himself had to wait until his second album before taking reign as the new Woody Guthrie.
		Prine’s album earned the instant acclaim that few debuts receive, and it set the stage for two decades of great music to follow.
		Prine continued to develop his talent during a tour in the military and a stint as a Chicago mailman, often composing songs on his route.

	Radio Paradise - eclectic online rock radio
		Prines live performances of many of his best songs are reduced to their essential elements--by turns poignant, insightful and clever lyrics, a raspy voice (from too many cigarettes, Id guess), and as he puts after "Grandpa Was a Carpenter", three chords on the guitar.
		Prine also delights with his "stories before the song" on "Sabu", "Thats the Way the World Goes Round" (the Happy Enchiladas would be a great name for a band, and once was for one night about 17 years ago), and "Living in the Future".
		This album is probably worth the price just for the anecdote Prine tells on "Thats the Way the World Goes Round" (about a woman who misunderstood the lyric "half an inch of water" and asked him to sing his song about the "happy enchilada").

		Prine, a former mail carrier from Chicago, burst onto the national folk scene in the early 1970s performing original melodies and lyrics that poetically sketched the lives of grass-roots, working-class Americans.
		His 1971 debut album, 'John Prine', was widely praised by critics, and he has since recorded several albums that have secured his reputation as a distinctly gifted storytelling songwriter.
		Drawing on Prine's incomparable sweetness, his wicked wit and social commentary and his split rail simplicity, 'Fair & Square' turns on the phases of the human heart -- and the way the people getting by live, dream, love and survive their lives.

		Prine hits Bush and his right-wing supporters between the eyes with their hubris and arrogance.

		Prine is wry and insightful observer of the human condition, including his own.
		Prine starts off with an upbeat ballad touting the "Glory of True Love." Trying to make it in Hollywood, Nashville, or New York can leave you "Crazy As A Loon." Mindy Smith joins Prine with harmony vocals on "Long Monday," a song bemoaning the return of the work week after a weekend of love.
		If you are a John Prine fan, this is a must-have; if you don't know Prine, this is a great introduction to one of the classic artists of our time.

		I mostly know his famous songs, the ones on all the compilations, but his Christmas album's also good, and the duets album he put out a few years back is great (especially the songs he did with Iris DeMent, whose voice is a good match with his).
		The thing about that is that, especially on those first few albums, his comic timing was really hot too.
		I was really glad to see Prine won the Contemp Folk Album award over Springsteen and others at the Grammys this year.
