Absolutely. From the first song I posted..."The water tastes funny, when you're far from you're home, but it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam". Just, damn.

He plays the Alaska Folk Festival here in Juneau every year. One of the acts I make sure I catch.

I use one of Prine's lyrics in everyday life all the time.

'If you're walkin down the street sometime, and you see some hollow ancient eyes...don't simply pass em by and stare, as if you didn't care. Say hello in there.'

If I see someone that is obviously having a rough go of it I always make eye contact and then nod and smile and say hello.

I agree. Not sure how it happened, but it was one of the first that really got me.


Also, if you have a Prime Prine, the version of Souvenirs is incredible. Goodman actually sings on it and sings very well.

Donald and Lydia

In one of his live albums, he notes that it's about a soldier stationed at Ft. Polk and a girl from Leesville, which is how I always imagined this song previously.

Dear Abby, Dear Abby...
My fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my
kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is
the wrong side of bed
If it weren't so expensive
I'd wish I were dead
Signed Unhappy
