John Prine's homespun wisdom continues to pour from his newer work. "Fair & Square" has some gems. "Crazy As a Loon" focuses on dreams always a bit out of reach, "That town will make you crazy; Just give it a little time; You'll be walking 'round in circles down at Hollywood & Vine." Pat McLaughlin co-wrote "Taking a Walk" with John with Phil Parlapiano's accordion giving a homey feel. "Some Humans Ain't Human" rails against hypocrisy, "You might go to church & sit down in a pew; Those humans who ain't human could be sitting right next to you; They talk about your family; They talk about your clothes when they don't know their own a*s from their own elbows." Pat McLaughlin again teams with Prine for "Morning Train," "I saw you all dolled up singing a song in your pickup truck." Donnie Fritts co-wrote "I Hate It When That Happens to Me" with John on a slow tune. "Fair & Square" is a good set from Prine that uses his strengths as a songwriter with most of his voice. Enjoy!
John Prine continues his reign as one of the greatest songwriters of our time. He brings a new level to his music after his battle throat cancer which gives his voice a bit deeper more serious tone. If you like John Prine or Folk music in general. This one is a great addition to your collection
