Free Music Review: It Makes SenseTo Me
Hit: 5 Stars
I noticed some of the other viewers stating that this record makes no sense,but they have to realize that a good songwriter like Mr.Prine will sit down and write what he feels at the moment or at the place and the time of his life,also remember Atlantic Records were determined to make J. Prine a star,and John wrote ten excellent,some bizarre,great songs for this classic album.listen for.. Forbidden Jimmy,Way Down,Heaven Before He Died.Really not a bad track on this cd,and my favorite John prine compilation.By the way for those of you who do not know,John Prine is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.It makes sense to me.
Common Sense Poster
Atlantic Records' futile attempt to make John Prine a star came to a head with the appearance in 1975 of this bewildering 11-song collection. Stax vet Steve Cropper stepped into the producer's seat with Common Sense, replacing Arif Mardin, who'd helmed Prine's first three releases. Cropper opted for a fuller sound, making liberal use of horns and vocal choruses (Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne are among the backup singers). Prine, for his part, responded by penning some of his most obscure lyrics. "Forbidden Jimmy" paints a Cubist portrait of a fellow who "got a mighty sore tooth / From biting too many dimes / In a telephone booth." "Saddle in the Rain" finds the singer imagining God waiting in ambush for him so he can "drink my wine and eat me like a sacrament." Ultimately, even old fans found the likes of "Come Back to Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard" impenetrable. On the other hand, this might be the Prine album fans of crossword puzzles enjoy the most. --Steven StolderCountry Music CDs
