Album John Prine by John Prine Review
A revelation upon its release, this album is now a collection of standards: "Illegal Smile", "Hello in There", "Sam Stone", "Donald and Lydia", and, of course, "Angel from Montgomery". Prine's music, a mixture of folk, rock, and country, is deceptively simple, like his pointed lyrics, and his easy vocal style adds a humorous edge that makes otherwise funny jokes downright hilarious.Review by allmusic.com
