I bought this LP when it was first released, and I've heard a heck of lot of John Prine tracks in the past 33 years. I still think this is his most successful album overall. His voice here is young and full of raw vigor, and his songs mix humor and tragedy in a balanced fashion. In recent years John has moved closer to traditional country material, and he does it well. This one, however, is the folk/protest/social commentary record that pretty much capped the '60's for me. If you like John's later work but have not heard this, you are missing some of his finest writing and singing.

The amazing self titled debut by the father of Americana, John Prine. Features timeless songs like "Hello In There" and "Sam Stone." There are no real flaws on this album.
Overall rating: Four stars

My great musical regret is that I somehow missed this album growing up in the 1970s. It might have changed my life. Prine can be witty, moving, or irreverent, and never patronizing. Some of the most intelligent music I've ever heard, and his understated delivery will have you tapping your toes. A true gem and original.

Unfortunately, gone are the days when record companies would sign up an artist that didn't fit into any current categories. Like some guy that wrote songs while walking his postal route. If there are songwriters like John out there now we will never get a chance to hear them. Back in the early 70s so much of the buzz about an obscure artist came from word of mouth promotion. I remember hearing a band playing "Sam Stone" and it stopped me in my tracks. I had to know where that song came from. I bought the lp the next day and became a lifelong fan. And this album is timeless. John can have you laughing in one verse and crying like a baby in the next. He's simply one of the best lyricists I've ever heard.

To the idiot who lumped John Denver into the same category as Prine and Dylan: man, what are you thinking? Are you listening to the music? Just cuz Denver covered a Prine song doesn't even put him on the same plateau. Listen to Rocky Mountain High, then take a listen to "Six O'Clock News" and tell me Denver is the same caliber....
