John Prine

Chicagoan John Prine burst onto the early '70s singer-songwriter scene amid a flurry of competely justified hype. He was among the first of many artists pegged as "the new Dylan," but his combination of folk, country, and poetic-but-simple lyrics was completely his own. Over the years, his albums have featured rock and country shadings to varied degrees, but his inimitable writing style has remained consistent.
