I'm Just Gettin' By - John Prine, Live:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLz_cqGGHOA
"This is great music yet so basic. Two guitars and bass. Who needs more? "
 "i'm a 47 yr old "teenager". Music has always been my love/passion. No other songwriter has ever meant more to me than John Prine. The honesty and emotional content of his songs have always hit home for me. I hope your doing well with your recovery. " |

.....
I reckon that a whole generation of young Canadian musicians grew up listening to and enjoying John Prine. Maybe you had to have lived through the Vietnam War and the use of chemical agents against Vietnamese civilians, I dunno. |

fredriley, True, the voice isn't great. But you have to give John Prine a few listens. Especially some of his earlier stuff. For the genre, Prine deserves Sainthood. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that hundreds of musicians in North America would take a bullet for John Prine. |

A voice like Bob Dylan's. Only worse. Ah, the blessed relief of the mute button...

Love JP. He's great. Fun and funny. After throat cancer his singing voice dropped an octave, but he's working again and has a recent album, another winner.
