Yeah, I got a number of old John Prine records from the early-mid 70's - great stuff. I still seem to end up humming "Granpa was a carpenter" completely out of the blue - an infectuous tune often muttered by a former colleague about 15 years ago. I ended up buying the discs (had to comb the used stores for them) out of curiousity, and dug what I found.
Haven't heard much of the newer stuff, although have seen it in evidence at Real Music Company from time to time.
