John Prine never has sold as many records as his fellow folk-rockers John Denver and Bob Dylan(both singers I admire) have. However, after listening to Prine's self-titled '71 release, I think he's right up there with those two artists.
My favorite songs on here are the humorous ones. "Spanish Pipe Dream"(called "Blow Up Your TV" when John Denver recorded it) is John P.'s funny account of a barroom conversation between a soldier on his way to where he's stationed and the topless dancer he meets up with. "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore" pokes fun at our patriotic obsessions--and might be more timely in the wake of the attacks on our country on September 11, 2001(and the resulting flag-waving we engaged in). "Illegal Smile" is a bouncy tune about trying to laugh when everything around you is going wrong. "Pretty Good" and "Quiet Man" are blues-rock at its finest.
John Prine is at his best, though, when he gets serious. "Hello In There", which was covered by Joan Baez and Bette Midler, is John P.'s classic melancholy ballad about an older couple whose loved ones live far away and who are dealing with the resulting loneliness("Old people just grow lonesome waiting for someone to say/Hello in there/Hello"). In the song "Sam Stone", Sam is an injured, drug-addicted war veteran whose addiction eventually kills him. "Far From Me" deals with the pain of a relationship gone bad. Prine's environmental anthem, "Paradise"(which, by the way, was also done by John Denver), is more lively than the other songs I previously mentioned. Still, it's a serious song. "Paradise" is about the coal-mining company building its mine in Paradise, Kentucky, near the Green River. John P. is a native Kentuckian, so he tells the story from his own experience. The chorus tells what happens when natural beauty is sacrificed to those who merely want to make money off the land("Daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County/Down by the Green River, where Paradise lay/Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in askin'/Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"). Preservation of natural beauty is an issue that's just as big now as it was in '71, when John wrote "Paradise".
This record may seem dated to some people, since it was released over 30 years ago. John Prine, however, continues to make records, and the songs on "John Prine" talk about issues(war and peace, protecting our resources, substance abuse) that have always been important to a lot of people. John P. also has a great sense of humor. Check out this classic album from an artist who I think is one of the most underrated folk-rockers around.
