| 4.5 superb | hillbillyag | June 6th 26 |
Further along in Prine's evolution into a 70's outlaw country sound, Common Sense is a good time and very easy listen. It shows clear influences of Jerry Jeff Walker and Jimmy Buffet and is less Prine's pure essence than his first album. The first half of the album is very strong to outstanding on every track. Even the titles are better than any other country artist. Starting with Forbidden Jimmy the album wanes, however He was in Heaven Before he Died is very good on the back half. It seems the consensus is that this is one of Prine's weakest early albums, however I found it to have at least 6 elite tracks with Prine's honest, satirical, and humorous lyrics cutting through the chaos to deliver some real gems.

Not his greatest, but great anyway. A few songs were pulled from here for his double CD Great Days anthology, which is terrific, but there's several other songs that could just as easily made the cut.
