Free Music Notes for Great Days: The John Prine Anthology
Free Music Review: Ch##st, I love John Prine
Hit: 5 Stars
I was exposed to Prine when I was about 19 years-old, but never really paid him much mind. At 37 I purchased this little box set and fell in love. It had all the stuff I loved. I was specifically looking for Lake Marie (A majestic ballad not on this set. . . .) But I found so much gold here I couldn't pass it up.
I saw John in concert in Denver recently. He said his guitar was sick and needed some work. He had the guitar tech send out another one. This instrument, he said, was Steve Goodman's guitar. "Man I miss Steve," he said. Then he began to play Souvenirs.
I can listen to the Steve Goodman/John Prine duet on Souvenirs captured on this set over and over and over again.
Angel From Montgomery is also precious. There is not a bad song from the set.
There is a hit out by Robert Plant and Allison Krause that contains Killing the Blues. Listen to John's version - I am torn which I prefer.
Regardless, buy this set. It is so comprehensive you will come back and purchase the whole catalog.
Why John isn't more of an American institution, I will never know.
Great Days: The John Prine Anthology Poster
If you buy Great Days: The John Prine Anthology, you may live to regret it. He's probably the best American folk-song lyricist of his generation, mixing low-key poignancy and deadpan humor in perfect proportions. His musical limitations serve to reinforce the understated nature of his art, and his short, plain-spoken lines (written in the offhand conversational style of his Midwestern and Appalachian characters) sneak through the back door of your imagination and won't leave. So where does the regret come in? Well, as you listen to the 41 songs arranged chronologically on these two CDs, you're going to ask yourself, "If someone can write 41 songs as good as these, isn't there a good chance he wrote more than 41?" After hearing the anthology's six songs from Prine's 1971 debut album, for example, you may decide to go out and buy that album itself. After you hear songs as delightful as "Pretty Good" and "Your Flag Decal," which didn't find their way into the collection, you may soon find yourself hunting down all 10 of Prine's original studio albums. Then you may regret having bought Great Days. --Geoffrey HimesCountry Music CDs
