Review

Rolling Stone (12/23/93, p.148) - "...Anyone who has heard Michael Stipe and Natalie Merchant cover "Hello In There" knows John Prine is a great songwriter; GREAT DAYS: THE JOHN PRINE ANTHOLOGY makes a convincing case that he's also his own best interpreter...."

Spread across two enticing discs, the GREAT DAYS anthology makes it plain that living during a time when John Prine is releasing music makes for some great days indeed. The fact that Prine had to wait 20 years to receive a Grammy should not for a second obscure the fact that he has been making rewarding albums since his debut in 1971. He is but one of the many songwriters to labor under the "Next Bob Dylan" tag. In Prine's case, however, the remarkable consistency inherent in his writing supports such a claim, hyperbole notwithstanding.

With deadpan delivery and economic wordplay as calling cards, Prine's songs reflect a startling lack of bitterness for a man whose career has seen many commercial ups and downs. Prine's body of work reflects a country heart filled with a rocker's sense of mischief. Whether it's the loneliness of aging ("Hello In There") or anti-cynicism itself ("That's the Way The World Goes 'Round"), GREAT DAYS reveals one of the nation's secret heroes in all his "aw shucks" glory.
