It Felt Just Like Sunday on Saturday Afternoon

I love John Prine. He's a terrific lyricist and a great songwriter...his songs are often heartbreaking but never sentimental or maudlin. He's bloody funny actually, and very truthful. He looks like a benevolent chipmunk...

A few Youtube highlights from the great man, who as far as I'm concerned should be so much more lauded than he is...

1. Speed of the Sound of Loneliness, with Nanci Griffith.

2. In Spite Of Ourselves - with Iris Dement

3. Hello In There

4. Angel From Montgomery

5. Paradise / Donald & Lydia

Nanci played Speed of the Sound of Loneliness last night. Sorry, I'm going to be droning on about the brilliance that was Cambridge for several weeks to come.
