The skilled and compassionate storyteller enjoyed widespread critical acclaim in the wake of his groundbreaking eponymous debut and continued to write and perform songs that became central to our American musical heritage for nearly five decades. Classics like, \"Angel from Montgomery,\"\"Sam Stone,\" \"Paradise,\" \"Hello in There\" and \"Donald And Lydia,\" all found on his staggering first offering, speak to the everyday experience of ordinary people with a simple honesty, and an extraordinary ability to get right through to the heart of the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"I bought John Prine's first album on LP when it was released,\" said Poet Laureate Ted Kooser. \"I played it as soon as I got home and noticed at once that here was a truly original writer, unequaled, and a genuine poet of the American people. He's taken ordinary people and made monuments of them, treating them with great respect and love.\" Roger Waters proclaimed that Prine, \"lives on that plane with Neil Young and Lennon\" while Bob Dylan ponders songs like \"Sam Stone\" and \"Donald and Lydia\" and says, \"nobody like Prine could write like that.\" \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIndeed, Prine's songs are singular and atypical enough to remove themselves from any notion of competition.
