Friday at the Midland: John Prine, with Conor Oberst
This year, folk icon John Prine turned 72 and released a new album, The Tree of Forgiveness. Prine looks old as hell on the cover, and his craggly voice is getting cragglier, but the songwriting remains intact. Sometimes my ol’ heart is like a washing machine, he sings on one track, it bounces around ’til my soul comes clean. Conor Oberst, an heir to Prine’s sound and spirit if ever there was one, opens this show.
