What an absolute treasure.

John Prine, the singer/songwriter who's career has spanned six decades, walks us through his mostly-under-the-radar years with beautiful lyrics, personal photographs, stories, crib notes and first drafts.

It's also a quality songbook--all the lyrics have the guitar chords correctly spaced above them. The pages are thick and glossy with a strong binding that stays open to your song of choice.

This book preceded his breakthrough "Tree of Forgiveness" work. What a great way for his newly-won fans to catch up!
