It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

OK Baggy, here goes.

1.) His first, selftitled album on Atlantic. There are no bad songs here. There are, however, many of his best works. I guess this is what made me a Prine fan. He came out of the gate with a superb record, then got better.

2.) Bruised Orange on Asylum. Not only are the sopngs good, but the sound quality is more than acceptable too.

3.) Lost Dogs And Mixed Blessings on Oh Boy. His best "mature" work.

4.) In Spite Of Ourselves on Oh Boy. This should not be your first intoduction to Prine. Choose any of the other three first. But, this is Prine in duet with many of the top female vocalists of today (Iris Dement, Emmy Lou Harris, ect.) doing covers (with the exception of the self-penned title tune) of country songs. I know, I know, I'm not a country fan myself. But if you find you like Prine, you're going to like this one too.

I would then suggest, should you find that Prine is your kind of singer, to pick up each and every one of this records. (And here's a hint, buy all his early stuff on LP if you're still into vinyl. Not only will it sound better, but it'll be cheaper too.)

Go get em, Baggy.
