John Prine's 2001 appearance on the PBS concert series Sessions at West 54th was easily one of that program's most exciting and satisfying offerings. In a rare instance of improving upon perfection, this DVD record of Prine's taping before a studio audience includes priceless material left out of the hourlong broadcast as well as the singer-songwriter's excellent supplementary interview with Sessions host John Hiatt. With only his spare, guitar-and-bass backup band, a bemused Prine quickly achieves glory revisiting three decades of eclectic material. From rockabilly satire ("Blow Up Your TV") to wintry folk ("All the Best") and compressed epics ("Lake Marie"), Prine underscores his reputation as a modernist master of storytelling. The show's centerpiece is a remarkable five-song duet with the great Iris DeMent, including a hilarious yet poignant tune ("In Spite of Ourselves") Prine wrote for an unreleased Billy Bob Thornton film. The show ends with the crystalline "Hello in There," a beautiful portrait of time and destiny. --Tom Keogh

 John Prine Almost Primed August 15, 2008
Alfred Johnson (boston, ma)
Over the last several months I have done more musically-oriented reviews that I had expected. One of the themes that keep cropping up is that for some folk/blues-oriented musical artists like Bob Dylan my attachment was immediate, long time and on-going. For other artists like John Prine it has been more of a recently acquired taste. I had, obviously, heard Bonnie Raitt do his Angel From Montgomery but I never associated his name with that song. Then a couple of years ago I happened to listen to his Hello In There and Sam Stone. Yes, this guy has something to say that I wanted to (on some songs, needed to) hear.
This concert represents a small selection of some of his work, although with the exception of Sam Stone, Lake Marie and Hello in There not much in the way of classics, at least that I am familiar with. This concert would thus only rate as a pretty fair performance except that on a few songs like When Two World Collide he is accompanied by Iris Dement (wife of the folksinger/songwriter Greg Brown). Iris is also a recent acquisition. I would travel very far to hear that voice of hers (and have done so). Incidentally, I have seen both these performers in person over the past couple of years- they still have it. Still this is not the DVD that YOU need to understand either talent, but you may want it.

This is a good performance of John Prine. John is a truly iniques and tireless performer. He puts on a great show and entertains the audience with stories between songs. If you've never had the oppotunity to see John live, this comes close. One of the best folk videos available, highly recommended.
