Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
Kentucky-born, Chicago-bred singer-songwriter John Prine was a battle-scarred veteran of the '70s "new Dylan" club and a superb craftsman whose modest commercial success found him without a major label deal in the '80s. Prine's solution was to move to Nashville and roll his own, setting up the tiny Oh Boy imprint and making records he wanted to hear, a survival game that paid off handsomely with this 1991 set, produced by Heartbreaker bassist Howie Epstein and boasting cameos from Phil Everly, Divinyls' Christina Amphlett, Tom Petty, old pal Bonnie Raitt, and another "new Dylan" alum, Bruce Springsteen. But it's Prine himself who holds your attention here, with his reliably fine songs mixing droll, dead-on narratives of recognizable Everymen, sweetly goofy parables, and unvarnished love songs that his craggy drawl inhabits with touching authority. --Sam Sutherland

A Prine masterpiece,
By Bt "Cat." (Parts unknown) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Missing Years (Audio CD)
This was a comeback album for John and in my opinion, it's his best ever, and boy oh boy,(no pun intended) that's saying plenty. This guy's responsible for my switch in music genre's some years ago with his early stuff. I never thought he'd top his classic self- titled and "Bruised Orange" releases, but he did it. The smartest storyteller around. Thanks John, "you got gold" inside of you.

I Call it Happy Music...,

This review is from: The Missing Years (Audio CD)
Outstanding. Ten of the 14 songs are excellent. Four are very good. There isn't a bad song in the whole CD. Prine has a unique way of singing about the little world. You can understand every word. He is definitely not your typical top 40 guy nor does he want to be. For people who don't know his music, he is a well kept secret. It's my favorite CD.
