I'd never heard of Prine before, but apparently he was labelled by some as "the next Bob Dylan" (not the first or last to receive that particular label). To my mind he's much more country than Bob. There is definitely a Dylan-esque twang to some of what he does, and he is a decent lyric writer, which probably invited some of the comparisons.
Some decent anti-war ideas expounded here, though I must say it's kind of weird to hear a country song proclaim "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore".
5/7 would listen again.
