Wow.  That was fantastic.  I've been lovin' Turnable Twistable Man, now this.  I've got it on preorder, so it should be here in about two weeks.  

Amazing double-barrell vocals.  At first, I thought it was actually Prine, like when they dueted on Letterman, but it was all Jim.  Nice slide work, too, Snowy!

thanks for the heads up......each song is better than the next

This could only be true if MMJ were the last track!  ;)

Great version! Can't wait to get this comp.

I guess it would also be wise to check out who John Prine is(?)

Yeah.  A friend of mine played some Prine for me this weekend.  Every track was a gem.  There is so much good music out there, waiting to be discovered.

i only wish it was a double album or something...it's not enough  :(
listened 4 times today already...

i got to see him play w/Old Crow and Kris Kristofferson on Sat. i haven't been into his music for that long, so i'm trying to make up for lost time..

but come on...there's nothing sexy about poop. Nothing.  -bbill

Yup.  I actually downloaded his Anthology shortly after the first Desert Island Draft though I'm not quite remembering who drafted him early.  Love his music now and can't believe I hadn't given him a better listen much earlier.  

EDIT:  Charps took it as the 2nd overall pick :o

As it states on the NPR stream page, his S/T debut is considered a classic so I'd say that might work. :)

Yep!  It's on my "desert island" list.

Looks like Prine was recording under the name Tony Orlando, too!

All The Best is just such a great cover.  This whole album may have just moved into first place on my favorite compilations list.  Prine's songwriting and lyrics are amazing.  This tribute does it's job in making me want to explore more of the John Prine catalog.
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

I agree BH...this cover is blazin'. If I didn't know any better, I would think it's a MMJ original. I will be checking out the rest of the album shortly...
