JOHN PRINE
Big O have published a really interesting article this morning about the review and reactions to the release of John's fourth album, 'Common Sense' and a bit of backlash it turned out to be. Worth a read for sure for all you Prine Shriners and they also have published a ROIO from 1975 too that I had a bit of bandwidth trouble with but as per usual they sorted me out straight way! Top fellas! It does seem to not entirely be me but there are guys visiting Big O saying similarly that the files are still corrupted so until the tech wizards at Big O sort it out there's an alternative source courtesy of the Internet Archive UPDATE! All files sorted now and the direct version is preferable as it separates all the track listings
When John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 (he was 73) of complications from the Covid-19 virus, musicians and critics alike responded with laudatory articles en masse. Prine was remembered as one of America’s greatest songwriters and deservedly so. There really was nothing I could add to the chorus. But there was one itch I felt a need to scratch - what I felt was the unjust criticisms of his 4th album, Common Sense (1975). They were reviews and opinions that continue to be recycled to this very day. It was with that in mind that I proceeded to write the look-back review that follows.
