JOHN BALLANTYNE'S PRIME PRINE
Prime Prine
John Ballantyne's Crazy Heart pays tribute to one of Chicago's greatest songwriters, John Prine, along with a sampling of his peers and friends such as Steve Goodman and Kris Kristofferson. But it's done in the honky-tonk style with a few allegedly-true tales thrown in. It's the Bakersfield beat of Buck Owens and the Texas twang of Billy Joe Shaver adding power to the poetry of the pride of Maywood, Illinois.
