As most of you know, I love to yap on about John Prine and share his music. I recently experienced an occasion whereby, I just played the music. I gave no clue to who it was, nor that it was a new release.
Within minutes questions are filling the air...that is John Prine - isn't it? Who are these ladies singing with him? What are the names of the songs. I loved every precious Prine moment of it.
I finally gave in and said, it is new Prine - what do you think? The reaction was perfection. "I cannot believe how good he sounds". This comment coming from a Priner who has not been to a Prine concert in probably 40 years...
and he ain't heavy, he is my brother
He explained how he felt that with the health issues John has had in the past years, his voice should/could/would have sounded different. He was a bit different, but solid John Prine - don't ya think? These ladies singing, who are they. I went through the songs, the ladies - a delight indeed.
As I said, goodnight to my brother I said these words - Ma and Pa would have loved this For Better ~ Or Worse - John Prine...eh? We hugged - once again in Prine agreement.
My brother and I. The irish twins.
