blow up your T.V. throw away your paper, move to the country, build you a home

About the only things that me and the guys in back at work agree on are 1). The Zombie Apocalypse is a distinct possibility, and 2). John Prine is awesome. Earlier this year I picked up the Prine tribute album, Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows because Josh Ritter covered "Mexican Home" but it was The Avett Brothers' cover of "Spanish Pipedream" that really did it for me. I love that song in general and their down-home sound fits it perfectly. Makes me feel like it's springtime even though it's cold and dreary outside.

The thing about John Prine's music is that I think it could be used as a blueprint for Life, particularly this song.

Also, I wanted to wish ames1010 a very happy birthday! I hope Chicago was all you wanted it to be. :)

My parents love John Prine, so he has a special place in my music heart. I hadn't heard the Avett cover (I think I'm the only person in the state of NC who doesn't know and own every single thing the Avett Brothers have ever done), so thank you for this. :)

I never got Josh's cover of Mexican Home. I am a bad fan. But thank you for this one! I like their sound.
