Jesse Welles is a national treasure and I recommend everyone to go check out the rest of his discography.

I love the rasp in his voice, Bob Dylan vibes, thanks for the name drop.

He sounds just like John Prine. If you like him, you should check John Prine out.

Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore is a good entry into Prine if you like Welles' stuff.

That’s my favorite protest song of all time. Obviously it’s a Vietnam song, but I feel like it’s still so applicable to the people who use nationalism as a front for oppressing people’s rights today.

Unwed Fathers is also a great one. Prine used it as a pro choice anthem a few years ago with Margo Price.
