John Prine

@rpeluso , thanks for sharing . What a talented man . Kinda like mixing John Denver and Woody Guthrie! BTW IRIS is the Bomb ! To those of you that are asking who/what , try what I do . I use Tidal and I am constantly clicking the similar artists tab . I listen to a lot of music , but at 60, I’m finding stuff I never knew . What a thrill . My biggest thrill was discovering Rock and Roll backwards . Started with Beatles, Stones Zepllin, Deep Purple , Rory Gallagher etc as a kid  and reverse engineered to Robert Johnson and Ledbetter ! Talk about getting aroused !!! Like is Good , with music it’s Great . 

As above,
the new JP disc is released this month.
Happy Listening!

Received the new record last night, playing now, stunned (surprised to be) by the man and his subtle genius.  Wish I could be more like him (or the him I perceive him to be), comfortable with who he is and what he thinks.  Just listen to The Lonesome Friends of Science or Crazy Bone.  His humor and his humanity are there.  I love the man, as much as is possible without knowing him at all.  Thank you John Prine.

Have seen John (and Iris, as mentioned) many times. John is of course great. Saw him in I think October at the big free yearly bluegrass festival here in San Francisco - of course his voice is very different, but still enjoyable. He wrote so many great songs that if he had croaked in 1980 his legendary status would have been cemented, in my opinion. Iris is I think one of the greatest living songwriters and performers. Last two times I have seen her have left me *floored*. On 'Sing the Delta,' she took her songwriting to a different level.
