Came back from Viet Nam in 1970. Had fourteen years of drugs and divorces. In 1984 was accepted into the pilot program for PTSD at the Chicago VA hospital. Spent most of a year there. Life has been a lot better since. Always said this album was the soundtrack of my life.

Way to go getting help for a very real problem-don't worry if you need to go back for tune-ups...I'm so sorry you had to go and about all that happened. What a freaking mess. Nevertheless, you are breathing--so where there is life there is hope. John did a LOT of dudes from that era and also that place good. Did me good, too-a lot. Stick around, find something you like, I hope and keep on keeping on!

First heard John Prine on a friend's cassette player while in college late 70's. I listened to all kinds of music but never heard of this guy. Who is this?? Could not believe what I was listening to. Some kind of folk/country prophet or something. All these years later, he's still not on the radio-- not even Deeptracks, etc... Maybe it's a Twilight Zone kind of thing. Only for select ears that can really hear what he's saying.

[@edwardrichard2561]

Thanks for the upload. My mother used to listen him alot when I was young. Alot of time I'd find her crying as she listened to it. Life wasnt easy for her. Growing up dirt poor. Using milk creates as a dinner table. Then having to raise two boys on her own. Working like dog in factories. I lost her almost 3 years ago. I hope both of my parents get to listen to him play in paradise. Thank you John for helping millions pull through the hard parts of life.

This music makes me incredibly sad, nostalgic, bittersweet, longing for my youth when I first listened to this album.

[@emotionsinwood]

Yeah, I hear you. Prine just has a way to cut right down through our soul, down to the naked part that still aches,… forever. I get hooked into it; Time for me to bathe in it for a while but then I have to move on. Since music is part of this, a good way out is to move on to some Leo Kottke. His love of life, and his way of telling a story, fun and music is a sure way to bring me back to a brighter side of life any time. Phil

John Prine somehow converted anger into sadness via his music. The topics in these songs are tragic stories about the injustices of our times, but he somehow managed to turn them into gorgeous poetry that anyone can relate with. He deserves much more attention than he gets these days.

[@tbonetom1625]

He definitely touches my soul no way I can really describe , the shit I've been through every song he sings I cling to with open ears

[@Talespins]

Its because he remembers to keep his empathy alive through out it all. They are not just stories but he is relating or allowing us to relate, it blows my mind how many phrases I have heard him say that I have never heard before but I instantly understood them. Even if he is singing with some superiority its from the side of all vs the few. He had the foresight at least to see history's battles and being on the right side, instead of being angry and scared he was ready for change and took it on the chin.

Now I'm sure no one knows where that was even Mr. Prine at the time, came to our school and performed a few songs. Of course being so young we didn't know who he was, for me was Instant crush. That's how I found out what my whole name meant. He was telling us,by the meaning of my name, he did tell me that I was very special. I believe he was just trying to make a little girl with 1 and a half thick glasses feel good. When I grew up ended up being a huge fan before remembering the young man singing dear Abby when I was so young.

I was living in Louisiana and fresh out of high school when John Prine, Randy Newman, Bonnie Rait and a few more folks put on an outdoor concert. I was hooked on all three immediately. John had music that was controversial at times. Randy Newman went on to write music for movies and TV shows after he stopped touring. His music was not as controversial as John's so he got more air time. I'm not sure how Bonnie Rait fit in with this group but she also went on to have and still does have a fantastic career. Rest in Peace, John Prine. You are still remembered.

Thank you for letting me hear my legend the way I heard it as a teenager in the 70's!

[@myistcat2212]

I was introduced to the music of John Price when I was in my forties and how I so enjoyed his music. His songs always tell a story and if you listen closely they are stories of real life. You can't hear any new country/folk music like this anymore. RIP John Prine your fans still love your music.

[@wickedlee664]

Yes you can… maybe not this good but the style is being played for sure.

[@4orrcountry]

@@wickedlee664 Really? I listen to new stuff regularly - no one has ever reached out and grabbed my mind the way John did.

[@bevbeitzel6392]

I loved everything about you,especialy the way we met.And all your music and the way you understood stuff.It's so sad to lose you this way.We'll meet again someday.

[@rexxgarvin5313]

Much Love! The last of ''The Lyrical Word Smiths''.......Thank you for your musical time kind sir.........Peace

When my first 3 kids, twin boys and a girl, were little, they would always ask me to sing "Paradise " ,whenever we were driving any reasonable journey, especially when we were going to my parents home in Northern Ireland. I have loved John Prine's music for many years and I'm just so sad that he's passed away. I still love "Paradise ", and I guess I always will. Gerry Farry.

Has there ever been a better debut album in any genre? I've been getting great enjoyment from this recording since 1972. I have a "Blow Up Your T V" sticker on the back bumper of my old Chey!/2 ton. Every once in a while someone gives me a thumbs up when they pass me, because they get it. When John Prine died I felt like I lost a good friend that I never met.

[@age_of_reason]

I'm so glad I got to see him perform at least one time. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in SF few years back. I just found out he passed. We lost a treasure. The world gained much through his songs and quirky humor.

We have lost a true american icon. RIP Mr Prine

"For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve..." That's songwriting on a level I could never imagine! I met John Prine once, on the stairs of a little bar in Ireland. I looked at him and said "Oh! You're YOU!!!!" He didn't wait a beat before replying: "You're you too!" It's a moment I treasure: face to face with a hero, but that hero is as kind and funny and true as you hope them to be!

[@briano.5746]

Thank you for being you John! Until we meet again my friend, R.I.P. BROTHER! ♒🧠👍🎸🎶🎵🛸🌌

[@lesliefeldman6140]

[@bettypeel8757]

I have loved John since the first day I found him years ago. I will always love you John. From Betty from AZ.

[@anthonypagano5101]

Remember seeing him at the Cellar Door in DC in the early 70s with Bonnie Rait. They were great! Miss those days.

[@turkey8016]

[@bobbarrett127]

Always loved his music since the 1970's. I got to see him live at a Bluegrass festival in Va in 1976. he put up a good show as a solo act. Almost got see him again 2017 in at a festival in Tappan, NY but it was rained out .It was a few months before he passed. A great musician may he RIP. As well as Steve Goodman another great musician who had recordings with him who passed away way to early. I

[@gurugolf7438]

50 year admirer and listener to John Prine. I had the extraordinary pleasure of meeting him once, true man of the people. In "Illegal smile", "the judge's name was Hoffman". Hoffman was the name of the presiding judge in the Chicago Seven trial, LOL. John Prine is deeply missed.

[@kevinhill.8]

Thank you RHINO for putting this out for all to enjoy. JP will be missed, and his legacy will live on through his wonderful lyrics. What a songwriter!!

[@dorothyanderson6312]

Can you put more of his albums up for us to remember what a great writer and singer John was. I miss you 😊🎉

[@MaryTeigen]

I am a confessed insoniac..but when I listen John Prine..who cares..enjoy the music from another midwestern!!

[@MC-jv6fs]

i think its easy to miss him. but its worth to find him.

[@mimistone2309]

Thank you Mr. Prine and may you RIR (Rest in Resistance)! Thank you for that key 🔑 to escape reality (your voice and songs) and your storytelling. Sooo, thank you for that lesson, how to tell a story

[@lindadann9202]

Perfect

[@dorothynicolas864]

Bought this album back when it first came out, when I was so poor I really couldn't afford it. Every song a "best hit." Met him briefly in SF when he played at the Boarding House. Such a nice guy! Will have to get a turntable that works! Start and end my days with his music.

[@robinlhs5256]

Thank you for posting this classic. RIP JP :'( you gifted the people with so much of yourself and we're better for it. Glad I shared the planet with you, at least for a while.
