- “Angel From Montgomery” (1971) Prine’s most widely known song is an indelible portrait of “a middle-aged woman who feels older than she is.” The song’s stripped-down country-rock arrangement belied the intricacy of Prine’s lyrics, which home in on details like the flies buzzing around the kitchen sink and the rodeo poster that sends her into a reverie of youthful recollection, and its matter-of-fact description of marital stasis and midlife depression were groundbreakingly real.
- “Illegal Smile” (1971) The opening track to Prine’s self-titled 1971 debut, “Illegal Smile” became an anthem for weed-smokers — despite the songwriter claiming it wasn’t really about that.
- “Spanish Pipedream” (1971) There’s a lot of advice in Prine’s tale about a soldier and a topless dancer who run off together to live the good life. For starters: blow up your TV, throw away your paper, go to the country, build you a home.
- “Paradise” (1971) A sentimental recollection of home that’s also an unsparing description of predatory capitalist devastation, “Paradise” is Prine’s ode to the tiny mining town in Western Kentucky where his parents met.
