THE LEGEND THAT IS JOHN PRINE ,UPSTAGED BY BAND!!
Oh My GOd, Who is that lead player?
I wonder if he's the same one who played guitar on "Pretty Good".
If you like bar bands with escape velocity power, buy this.
Prine Finds The Music. And The Music Finds Him.
John Prine's best album, no doubt. Recorded in the land of The King with Knox, Jerry, and yes, Mr. Sam Phillips. You want to hear the genius of Sam Phillips? Listen to "Saigon", a draaaaaged out track that stopped even Alex Chilton in his tracks. This is pure rockabilly music, the real thing. The Prine fans that hate this album, I dunno, maybe they wanted him to keep singing "Illegal Smile". John has said that this is his favorite album--listen to it with an open mind and you'll see why. "Down By The Side Of The Road" may be Prine's finest moment, and the covers, oh man, from Roly Salleys "Killing The Blues" to a dead on version of "This Cold War With You", this is one of the purest records you'll hear. Brilliant all the way around. One of the best records I own. I hope you'll think so, too.
Dead battery?
I have been a steady fan of him since his early days in Chicago in the early 1970's, but this effort was a major let down for me. The song "How lucky" is great, though. Maybe not surprising that this CD is not available on his own website, or on iTunes??! I think they had a great (drunken) time making the record, but some of the songs sound like they were recorded from the parking lot next to the studio. However, several of the songs from Pink Caddy are done very well on his 1980 Soundstage concert DVD, which is available. I just got done watching it, and enjoyed it very much. I also saw him in concert about that time, with his excellent band. (I have seen him about 6 times over the years)
