McTavish: Prine Still in His Prime at Midland

    I saw Prine at the Folly in ’99 and it was as special as this one sounds. Prine has an innate ability to do that whenever he plays a show; he makes you pat yourself on the back for having the good sense to be there.

    And don’t tell anyone, but I sneaked in to the Folly that afternoon and watched the soundcheck hunkered down in the shadows of the balcony. There wasn’t anyone in the whole place except me and the band. An absolutely fantastic afternoon followed by a fine, fine evening.

    that song was “All The Best” (I wish you love I wish you happiness) – it was in the Billy Bob Thornton movie “Daddy and Them”

    Missed this show but my favorite Prine show was when he co-headlined an acoustic show with Bonnie Raitt at the Uptown. Their duet on Angel From Montgomery was soulful, spiritual and chilling. Props to John for mentioning Steve Goodman.
