Start with his earliest Greatest Hits, which is called "Prime Prine."


EDIT: How could I forget "The Sins of Memphisto"
"Angel from Montgomery" is one of my absolute favorites to listen to and to play, for that matter. Even when it's being covered, it's pretty good. Bonnie Raitt did a spectacular job on it on Austin City Limits years ago and Dave Matthews doesn't do too bad a job either.

I'm not a big fan, but I like his stuff. I gave my uncle (a big John Prine fan)
"Great Days : The John Prine Anthology" a couple of birthdays ago. Live versions of "Angel from Montgomery," "Dear Abby" and "Yes, I guess they oughta name a drink after you." Anyway, he enjoyed it.
