John Prine

I can't tell you how may times I've felt the same way when I have seen an older person while on my lunchtime walk in town. Ever since I heard that song I make it a point to at least smile and say hello. Sometimes you can tell that person appreciates your gesture...however small it may be.

I had an elderly couple as neighbors for years. Every time I listened to Prine sing "Hello in There" I wanted to go across the street and chat. Prine is a remarkable writer.

Agree with other comments. Love John Prine, on disc or live.

Good call on the lyric Hazard. One of his best.

"Mind all your manners, be quiet as a mouse,
one day you'll have a home that's as big as house"

I'm a huge John Prine fan. I saw him at the Philly Folk Fest a few years ago and agree, he does put on a great live show.

"Grampa`s on the front lawn staring at a rake
Wondering if his marriage was a terrible mistake"

Brilliant!

Next to Dylan and Townes stands John Prine!

"There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes."

I sure would like for him to release another new album. Fair and Square (2007) was great . . . need some more!

Agreed- Wonderful guy to see. A national treasure too frequently overlooked.

Prine is one of our finest singer/songwriters. I've seen him live many times since 1970, and he always gives a great performance. His distinctive voice changed dramatically after his successful battle with throat cancer a few years ago, but still works its engaging magic. A recent CD "In Spite of Ourselves" is well recorded and full of Prine's infectious humor.

Yes, John Prine makes a good effort live, definitely worth seeing. Jason Wilber, who plays guitar with him, and also works on his own, is very good indeed. John
