They give him Grammys as a folk artist, but you can't really categorize a genius as big as John Prine's. Like Kurt Vonnegut's early novels, Prine's songs are notable for both their bite and their warmth -- the gentle surface of ballads such as "All the Best" often hide a dark heart, while angrier numbers like "Angel from Montgomery" always seem to forgive the targets of their indignation. Don't miss your chance to see this true American songwriting legend.
