Thank you for this eloquent appreciation of Prine’s brilliance. I have always said if I could only listen to one artist for the rest of time, it would be John Prine, no contest. He is incomparable- so deep, so humble, so funny. My brother brought the album Bruised Orange home with him from college. I was in 8th grade- I played it every day that summer and have loved Prine beyond reckoning for over four decades. Thanks for doing him justice!

This is a beautifully written tribute, Andy. I love John Prine to pieces and can't wait to hear what you have to say about the rest of his catalogue. There wasn't a clunker in the bunch. Christmas in Prison, for some reason, is one of my all time favorites.
