Prine’s stuff is pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mind trips to the nth degree. And he writes beautiful songs, Bob Dylan, via ‘The New York Times’.

as a child after his family had moved to Kentucky.
He recorded albums for
Atlantic and Asylum records,

1992 and 2006. In 2019, he was
inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

lifetime achievement Grammy in 2020.
They come along like a dream or something, and you just got to hurry up and respond to it, because if you mess around, the song is liable to pass you by, John Prine, via ‘The New York Times’
