I first saw John Prine back in 1976, in Galax Virginia, I was hooked from that point on, the first song I learned on Guitar was "Paradise" by John Prine..it was a 3 day outdoor event, everyone who was anyone was there...From Prine..Bonnie Raitt, David Bromberg, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Dillards, from Andy Griffith show, even Jerry Garcia..Mac Wiseman...So many now that I can't remember who all was there, it was estimated that over 300, 000 people were there, it was great, one of my favorite times in my younger life, and John Prine was great, also..you guys should listen to a band called "Goose Creek Symphony" if you like John Prine..they are absolutely great...a couple of their best albums are "Welcome to Goose Creek"...and "Words of Ernest"...give them a listen..you'll be glad you did!

Hello Jerome, I like that one too, if you like John Prine you might like a Canadian Singer Songwriter Fred Eaglesmith he has some great tunes and some on the lighter side also.

She don't like her eggs all runny, she thinks crossing her legs is funny
she looks down her nose at money and she gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby, I'm her honey and I'm never gonna let her go...

I love that song.

Krauss, Plant and Emmylou were all on "Later with Jules Holland" this week on the BBC. You can catch it on BBC I Player if you have it - only 7 more hours to go, so you would need to be quick.

You can get it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

You could also sneak a peek at "Ceird an Ceoil" which is an excellent series on instruments in Irish music which is also on I Player. It has English sub-titles for non-Irish speakers like myself.

Prine is one of my musical heroes - A lousy vocalist (if you judge vocals by range), a simplistic guitarist (paraphrasing: "I was taught A, C, D, G chords as a beginner and I just never found a reason to learn any more"). But what a lyricist and songwriter! This quote sums it up:

Clelia Adams - Singer, Australian pop idol
on the song "Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness"-- "Soulful, heart wrenching song from master songwriter John Prine. Nothing else can be added to this piece, the simplicity and complexity of the lyric says it all. This song is often named "the song I wish I had written" by other famous songwriters."

I wish I could be there.

It is great how writers can put themselves into someone else shoes and write about their life in a song. Like you said " hello in there" was written when he was 25, yet he sings it as if he is aged 85.
eric Bogle done the same with "and now I'm easy". he wrote that when he was younger but singing about life as a farmer in his 80's
Hello in there is a powerful song about getting old and being old and respecting your elders. Or that is the way I see it.
Love it, but then I love all his songs.

Ken , Hello in There , is my favorite Prine song ,it was also my best friends favorite song and he passed away a few years back,it was a hard one for me to play and sing for awhile after he passed.We thought it was just a good song about old folks when we were younger but the older I get it takes on a new meaning.

upyerkilt - Emmylou Harris is worth knowing about. She has several excellent solo albums and is also famous as a duet singer with tons of artists. I have seen her in concert a couple of times and was blown away by her artistry. She always has a great bunch of musicians in her bands.

Lots of good stuff on YouTube. Try this one for starters:
