I highly recommend not starting your Prine journey with a bunch of fake folk artists.

Believe me, I know the difference.

Depends on the listener. I played the Prine Anthology, and the rest of my family  literally screamed at me to "turn that shit off."

If I play the tribute album, I predict one person probably tolerates it and the other probably likes it.

Now that’s just sad

John Prine and Glenn Parsons do the same thing for me
I totally respect their songwriting genius, but always seem to like it better when others do their songs
I know I suck at music appreciation

Faces - you can make me dance, sing or anything
Box of the first four albums with stray singles and b-sides.

Or Glen Fry?

Your 12 year old daughter's music taste is not valid and I'm pretty sure your wife will think most of these artists are some Jack Johnson wanna be mother fuckers.

I remember being 12. Whatever your dad likes sucks. Of course, she does listen to some of what her mom likes.

My wife is familiar with most of those "faux folk" artists. Mostly thanks to me.

This is a common occurrence. Be it John Prine, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, Iris Dement, Gram Parsons, etc (this especially goes for classic country and pre-Green Day punk)….I'm told I'm listening to "old white guy" music, and that I like artists of that ilk "because I'm told that's what's good."

Fiona, stop trying to make fetch happen

Elvin Jones - Dear John C

Pretty beat up original white label…I think this record is pretty hard to come by but you can probably stream it for free

I finally have grouped my Impulse Records LP issues together…been wanting to do that for years

Curtis Mayfield - Curtis Live!

They had this playing on repeat up at Levon Helm's barn studio before a Midnight Ramble I attended years ago.

Curtis is so inspirational



I been listening to a lot of Thelonious Monk not Monster lately

I also been reading a bit about him

What a kooky cat…

I definitely have a lot more time to listen to music…digging out stuff I haven’t heard in years..some of it I don’t think I ever heard

This month's Guided by Voices album - Surrender Your poppy field. They usually take about 4 or 5 spins before they start clicking for me.

I think this GBV album is great..Cul de Sac Kids was the first song to grab me

New Def Leppard's b sides and rarities album, "too many jitterbugs."  darn good.  'bringing on the heartbreak' . . . is taking me there.
