John Prine: Another Diamond In The Rough
Martin Hawkins, Goldmine, 27 April 1984
IT SEEMED strange to be tracking down John Prine recently to find out why there hasn't been a John Prine album release in four years. Strange, because I probably listened to Prine's music more than anyone's during the '70s and his seven albums still occupy a prime spot on my record shelves.
