John Prine: Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness

[Chris 2,169]

John Prine has never really resonated with me. Until I saw this on "The Marty Stuart Show" on RDFTV. Maybe it's the acoustic, stripped down sound, great harmonies, or maybe it's I'm a little older... I don't know. But it was like a gut punch, and I had an "ah-hah" moment. 

Take a listen:

I’m liking more the more I listen. I find that the more stripped down the sound and older his voice, the better I enjoy it.

Just typical John Prine style , simple easy flowing music and most times fun but with a  message .
