John Prine Tickets Information
John Prine
American country/folk singer-songwriter John Prine -- born October 10, 1946, in Maywood, Illinois, has achieved widespread critical and commercial success since the early 70s. Son of William Prine and Verna Hamm, his grandfather had played guitar with Merle Travis, and Prine himself started playing guitar at age 14. He was a postman for five years and served in the Army before beginning his musical career in Chicago.
Prine appeared on the scene in1971 with a highly-acclaimed debut album entitled John Prine. He and friend Steve Goodman had each been stars in the Chicago folk scene before being "discovered" by Kris Kristofferson.
The album included his signature songs "Illegal Smile", "Sam Stone", and the environmentalist newgrass standard "Paradise." The album also incorporated "Hello In There", a song about aging later covered by various artists and "Far From Me," a waltz about lost love for a waitress that Prine later said was his favorite of all his songs. The album received many positive reviews, and some hailed Prine as "the next Dylan." Bob Dylan appearing unexpectedl at one of Prine's first New York City club appearances anonymously backed him on harmonica.
Later albums include Sweet Revenge and "Common Sense" Common Sense was Prine's first album to appear in the US top 100 by Billboard. Many Prine fans view the release of 1978's Bruised Orange as a creative acme. The Steve Goodman-produced album gave listeners songs such as "The Hobo Song", "Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Alone" and the title track showing that he could capture the human condition as easily as writing politically inspired anthems.
In 1991 Prine released the Grammy Award-winning The Missing Years, his first collaboration with producer and Heartbreaker's bassist Howie Epstein. The title song records Prine's humorous take on what Jesus did in the unrecorded years between his childhood and his ministry. In 1995 Prine released Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings, with Epsteins collaboration. In 1997 In Spite of Ourselves, contained only one original song; the rest were covers of classic country songs. All were collaborations with Prine's favorite female country vocalists including Lucinda Williams and Iris DeMent.
In early 1998 Prine was diagnosed with throat cancer and underwent surgery to remove the tumor followed by radiation therapy. Listeners believe that the surgery has added "gravel" to his voice. In 2003 he was given a Lifetime Achievement Award for songwriting by the UK's BBC Radio 2 and that same year was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In 2005, Prine released Fair and Square, tended toward a more laid-back, acoustic approach containing songs such as "Safety Joe", about a man who has never taken any risks in his life, and also "Some Humans Ain't Human", Prine's protest piece on the album, which talks about the ugly side of human nature and includes a quick shot at President George W. Bush. It won the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
The 2005 Americana Music Awards marked another significant achievement for Prine. At the September 9th ceremony, Prine was bestowed with Artist of the Year award.
His song "Storm Windows" appears on 4 CDs and is track seven on all four of the CDs. This can hardly be just coincidence but nobody seems to know any story behind this unusual occurrence. "The Twentieth Century Is Almost Over", cowritten by Prine and Steve Goodman, was used in a 1999 Mercedes-Benz TV commercial.
Prine dedicates "Souvenirs to his friend Goodman, who died in 1984 of leukemia.
Prine has dabbled in movie acting, appearing in the John Mellencamp feature Falling from Grace in 1992 and in Thornton's Daddy and Them in 2001.
