Kot: “When John Prine’s band left the stage for a few songs, time melted away Friday at the Chicago Theatre and he was back at the old Fifth Peg on Armitage Avenue in 1970 with an acoustic guitar around his shoulders while delivering songs that spoke to the times and beyond.
“Or, as Bob Dylan once described Prine’s lyrical gift, ‘pure Proustian existentialism, Midwestern mind trips to the nth degree.’ His songs have not only aged well, the years have added richness and resonance.”
