Comments

Just a little bit better than Bonnie Raitt, this Album was what I like to call "Tolerable Country", which is Country Music that I don't really mind listening to.

Critics called John Prine "Hilarious". His jokes are not funny, however. The only thing hilarious about this is the church organ that's present in a couple songs, and how hilariously bad he blows at comedy.

The music was decent, though. Just needs a little pick-me-up and then it would be way better.
Nice Canadian Tuxedo, John.
