I heard from a friend that John Prine<\/strong> won something at the Grammy’s, but I didn’t get any details….. If he did, it’s about time, he’s been a favorite artist of mine since his first album in the ’70’s….. If anyone knows the details, I would like to be filled-in….. I don’t watch much TV (regular or cable), so any info would be nice…..<\/p>\n

I do know that if you are a musician and don’t have a copy of his album “Sweet Revenge”<\/strong> you are sorely on “The Losing End”<\/em> (Neil Young<\/strong>)….. I mean, if you haven’t heard “Dear Abbey”,”Granpa was a Carpenter”, or “Please Don’t Bury Me “<\/em> and not liked them, you’re severely biased or not much of a musician in the first place….. You may not like the semi-country style (although he has his own style as far as I am concerned), but you gotta love his lyrics and the sound and delivery of his voice…. I checked Amazon.com and they only have one copy, but claimed more were on the way and the price was only $9.95…. Can’t beat that…. I don’t have the time to hassle with a link for you, but just go to amazon, popular music, and search for John Prine….. It’ll be worth your time…..<\/p>\n

To me, he just as original and fits into Rock just as much as Dylan, Donovan, and the rest of the Folk-Rock artists…. He was definitely ahead of his time and now, maybe he’s got some recognition for it….. Oh, yeah, his new album is great too, but “Sweet Revenge”<\/strong> is one of my all-time favorites…. Not a bad track on it….<\/p>\n

Oh, one more thing, Jek<\/strong> I’m going to incorporate your lyric suggestions into “A Season’s Song”<\/strong><\/a> …. I’ve revised the referenced post with the new lyrics….. Check it out if you’re interested or wait ’til this Christmas season…… They are printed in bold and italics<\/em><\/strong>…… There may be further changes by then……. Thanks….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
