Prine wrote some great songs. His voice never really did anything for me either, but he was a great songwriter. Also, Bob, you say he doesn't "know jack musically", but that is just your opinion of what constitutes musicality. J I bet there are people who would say the same about you, or me, or Paul McCartney.
Plus "musically redeeming value" is all in the ear of the listener. My son thinks Jimmy Buffett was awful. He also does not think much of the Beatles. I can't stand much of the stuff he listens to. It's all opinion.
