What a talent he was! Outside of "Paradise" and "Angel from Montgomery", I was wondering which of his endures the best. It might be "Sam Stone" for me. For you?

Hmm. "Endures the best" is tricky phrasing. My favorite is Lake Marie. When I Get to Heaven is poignant in John's tongue-firmly-planted-in-his-cheek way. If you mean most respected after all these years, Sam Stone is dynamite - although Hello in There and Illegal Smile are big fan favorites.
I can't believe I'd forgotten "Hello in There" and "Illegal Smile". I guess it's time to fill the bathtub with his catalogue and go for a prolonged soak!

Thanks for mentioning Prine, such a good nudge!
