EXCELLENT TRIPLE DISC SET OF RARE LIVE JOHN PRINE RECORDINGS Widely cited as one of the most influential, yet criminally underrated, songwriters of his generation, John Prine was known for humorous lyrics about love, life, and current events, as well as for serious songs with social commentary and others that recollect melancholy tales from his life. In 2020, he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. His sad passing on April 7th 2020, following complications caused by COVID-19, at the age of 73, was a tragic loss for family friends and fans alike - which numbered many big music names, from Bob Dylan to Billy Brag among hundreds of others.

Among the finest American singer-songwriters of all, John Prine is often tagged the best kept secret in rock. But despite his status remaining fairly low-key among the general public, even 50 years after his recording debut, he can boast an army of famous fans ranging from Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen to Billy Bragg and R.E.M.In 1970, Prine was the upcoming bright, young hope in and around the Chicago folk clubs, most notably the 5th Peg, where he would often perform at open mic nights. In August 1970, one such show at the 5th Peg was recorded for live FM broadcast, and this recording makes up the first part of this CD. The second part comes from a little later the same year, when legendary Chicago DJ and presenter Studs Terkel invited the young performer onto his radio show at 98.7 WFM Chicago, to play a further set of songs on live radio.These two sessions remain the earliest known recordings of John Prine and remain in near perfect quality for all to enjoy, half a century after they were recorded
