“How Lucky” by Boundary Road

I love pretty much everything John Prine writes.  He is one of my bedrock pillars from which I believe in what is good, what is great, and what is not up to John Prine standards of songwriting.  As a touchstone, John’s music seems to me to be remarkable, in that anyone who records one of his songs, sounds pretty good too.

Boundary Road is a great case in point.  Here we have John’s “How Lucky” and sure enough, it sounds like the home run it is, and was.  If you mess up a John Prine song, maybe you need to be doing something else with your creative juices.

First showing up on John Prine’s Pink Cadillac album, (1979), “How Lucky” has been around for awhile and Boundary Road does it the justice it deserves.

“Today I walked down the street I use to wander.  Yeah, shook my head and made myself a bet
There was all these things that I don’t think I remember.   How lucky can one man get.”
