What's your FAVORITE JP album?
My lil' bros favorite therapy is a cooler of beer and his truck driving the dirt roads of Central Oregon listening to JP. Says is works wonders for him.
TOUGH QUESTION, but if I could only pick one, I guess it would be Common Sense (or maybe Souviners).
Heck, that's like asking me to pick a favorite Jimmy Buffett or Beatles album. I CAN'T PICK JUST ONE.

...and you became a Moderator, when? As best I can tell the conversation has maintained a very civil tone (except for maybe Whine-o's posts).

Is the "best of" or "greatest hits" a good collection?

What would ever make you think I would do that?

Yes, it is (if you're referring to
Prime Prine). The only drawback is that collection doesn't cover any of his newer material. If you're interested in a more well rounded collection I suggest
Great Days.

Yes, I am but please don't misinterpret that to mean I'd "bite your head off" about it. Truth be told, I'm more into recommending albums than greatest hits collections but when it comes to someone with a vast back catalog like Prine's it can be a daunting task when trying to decide on a good place to start.

No worries. Next time I'll use a

to try to communicate a little better. TR can be sort of a sarchastic a hole from time to time
Thanks for your resource of music!!!!

"Great Days" was the first Prine album that I bought. It is an incredible collection. If you only buy one Prine album in your life, "Great Days" is the one.

I disagree but only on the merit that
Great Days isn't a proper album per se and you'd be doing yourself the disservice of missing out on the discovery all of his albums individually. That's not to say it isn't a great collection (which it is) but it only scratches the surface when it comes to Prine's musical works.

I agree with you 100%, but like I said if you can only buy ONE John Prine album, this is the one to get.

One of my favorites has always been
Bruised Orange
Great Days is a really good place to start

Couldn't find Great Days, but scored on Sweet Revenge and Fair and Square. JP's like Bubba, not a big selection in the record stores
