Music reviews of Lost Dogs & Mixed BlessingsMusic Review: Hot Tunes and Missed Blessings
When I was 5 years old my parents had split and an Aunt was in care. On several occaisions I was sent by my Aunt, "to the attic" in punishment for being a bad boy. The attic was a big wide-open space with lots of piles of stuff stored there. Whilst spending the hours of my punishment time in that desolate expanse of the attic on one particular day, I found a pile of my parents records collection next to a small record player. I looked at the unplugged end and quickly put two and two together and knew how to plug it into a nearby outlet. In those hours I listened to records by Frank Sinatra and Doris Day and Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline and many others, but what caught my ear and sent me along in life in pursuit of collecting and enjoying music was a 45rpm record by Johnny Cash. That record was the story of my own parents love-life: on one side: There you go, you're gone again, I should have known, I couldn't win, There you go, you're by his side, you're gonna break another heart, you're gonna tell another lie....On the other side was a song called Train Of Love, in the song, the Train Of Love is leavin'....Johnny Cash's guitar twang sound got me started in my pusuit of music throughout the rest of my life. Through years later, several times, I had heard the name of John Prine, but it always seemed to be negative reveiws and those negative reveiws influenced me to turn a deaf ear to John Prine. Many more years went by until sometime in the 1990's my wife and I turned on PBS TV one night and saw John Prine performing the songs from his "The Missing Years" CD. We were awestruck as we watched and listened. We became "instant" John Prine fans. Afterwards I was quite angry about the negative John Prine reviews that had caught my attention through so many previous years. My wife and I went out and got all of John's Recordings on CD and we listened in bliss and still do to this day. And it was during that time I learned to never ever take the word of a negative reveiw again. John Prine is one of the best singer songwriters my wife and I have ever discovered (Thank You PBS). We like a ton of music from Johnny Cash to the Beatles and now also John Prine. Then I go to the record shop and there is John Prine off in an obscure corner in a Folk Record Bin. And I say to my dear wife.....If I ever run a record shop that will be the end of catagories. Let's just put everything in alphabetical layout. You want Frank Sinatra go to F you want Beatles go to B, etc, etc,......but my biggest beef is still with negative record reveiwers, as in another example: in a record magazine review I read: Neil Young can't play guitar. And now I think: Neil Young can't play guitar, but, geez you freakin butthead-if-there-ever-was-one-reveiw-writer: Neil Young has only written and performed a few thousand songs on his accoustic guitars, so if Neil Young can't play a guitar then Mr. Negative-Reveiw-Writer, you just Do Not Exist. OK, that said, back to John Prine. There are a few good Rock Tunes on Lost Dogs And Mixed Blessings. Of all of John Prine's CD's Wife and I's favorites are Lost Dogs And Mixed Blessings and The Missing Years........but we also like just about everything else John Prine has recorded so far. And another big plus for us was when we first learned about John Prine's association and collaborations with the Late, Great, Steve Goodman. Steve Goodman wrote one of the greatest tunes of all time: "City Of New Orleans". John Prine and Steve Goodman are great together. They were meant for each other. Check out Steve Goodman's "Affordable Art" CD and others and Like Wifey and I, You'll be happy.
