Thread Name: When Did You First Hear John Prine??
Subject: RE: When Did You First Hear John Prine??
I first heard John Prine when a friend brought me over, years and years ago, a tape of Bonnie Raitt's music that she thought I might like to listen to as she thought they would fit my vocal range well. It was "Angel from Montgomery" and her voice and his music just blew me away. I still sing "Angel from Montgomery" when I busk. I think it fits in with that kind of situation well.
I also have sung, "Hello in There" for my graduating project to get my Bachelor of Arts.
While I might not be that in love with his voice, I sure love his writing- it's been an influence and a gift for more than 20 or so years at least for me.
