Covers: Hello in There

harrisl585 Music covers April 20, 2019January 3, 2022 1 Minute

This is another song from John Prine’s first album in 1971 that was covered by Bette Midler in 1972.

Four and half minutes of grimly funny existential comedy and Gospel-worthy compassion, John Prine’s “Hello In There” is a masterpiece of Proustian-detail rendered with the shrugging resignation of a reporter on deadline. A vision of pure mercy and a remembrance of things trashed.
