Born and raised in Illinois, John Prine was a mailman before trying his luck as a country-folk singer and finding success- and his niche- in the ‘70s singer-songwriter scene. Like Shel Silverstein, Prine comes across as offbeat, childlike, and good-natured- a ‘70s humanist still trying to make sense of the ‘60s, life, love, eternity, and everyday things- and one is never quite sure what the man is going to say or do next- and yet you can be sure- whatever it is- it will not harm you- and you might even like it. Here are some of my favorite John Prine songs. Enjoy- and Happy New Year!
