I'm surprised that more contemporary folksingers don't look to the catalog of John Prine. Great songs, but the bones are simple -- there's room for interpretation and change. And unlike Dylan, for example, covering one of these songs is not a cliche.
Foucault does a great job with these songs. The arrangements are changed slightly, but not in ways that are not true to the spirit of the originals. He strikes a nice balance in terms of being different from the Prine versions, but not changed too much.
