The Missing Years

The Missing Years (1991) more music like this

by John Prine

Prine took five years between his ninth studio album and this, his tenth -- enough time to gather his strongest body of material in more than a decade. From the caustic "All the Best" to the cliche compilation "It's a Big Old Goofy World," Prine's gifts for emotional revelation and off-the-wall humor are on display in abundance, and he's aided by ...

Prime Prine (1976) more music like this

by John Prine

Atlantic Records' compilation of John Prine's first four albums was good for its time (and became his only gold record) but has been superseded by Rhino's Great Days anthology. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Sweet Revenge

Sweet Revenge (1973) more music like this

by John Prine

Prine's third album is louder and more jaded than his first efforts, a set of rowdy country-rockers that tear along at a reckless speed. Sympathy takes a back seat to cynicism here, and while that strips the record of some depth, Prine's irreverence is consistently thrilling, making this one of his best. It's not as uniformly brilliant as the ...

John Prine (1971) more music like this

by John Prine

A revelation upon its release, this album is now a collection of standards: "Illegal Smile," "Hello in There," "Sam Stone," "Donald and Lydia," and, of course, "Angel from Montgomery." Prine's music, a mixture of folk, rock, and country, is deceptively simple, like his pointed lyrics, and his easy vocal style adds a humorous edge that makes ...

Standard Songs for Average People

Standard Songs for Average People (2007) more music like this

by John Prine & Mac Wiseman

The title tells the story well enough on Standard Songs for Average People, a set of 14 country-leaning classics interpreted by venerable singer/songwriter John Prine and bluegrass balladeer Mac Wiseman. While Prine has never possessed a classically strong voice, he knows how to communicate a lyric well enough (even lyrics he didn't write himself) ...

Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings

Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings (1995) more music like this

by John Prine

John Prine's follow-up to his comeback album, The Missing Years, is more of the same in terms of freeing up Prine's idiosyncratic muse and marrying the result to Howie Epstein's top-flight production sound. Fans of the early Prine may find that sound over-produced, but the songs never get lost, and with Prine's typically humorous, off-center view ...

Fair & Square

Fair & Square (2005) more music like this

by John Prine

Never an artist known to push himself harder than necessary, 2005's Fair and Square was John Prine's first album in five years, and his first set dominated by new material since 1995's Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings (a live album, a set of covers and a collection of new recordings of older material helped fill the gap). Of course, Prine had a fair ...

In Spite of Ourselves

In Spite of Ourselves (1999) more music like this

by John Prine

In Spite of Ourselves is John Prine's tribute to the music he grew up with -- good country songs written by folks like Roger Miller and Jack Clement. It is, at the same time, a golden opportunity for him to collaborate with some of his all-time favorite female vocalists. In the liner notes booklet, Prine tells the story: "I made a list of my ...

John Prine Christmas

John Prine Christmas (1994) more music like this

by John Prine

For anyone who'd lost track of John Prine after the 1970s, the idea of a rather cynical singer/songwriter recording a holiday album must have seemed a rather odd one. But Prine, while never relinquishing his wry sense of humor, had mellowed quite a bit since writing about getting kicked off of Noah's ark in "Sweet Revenge." Besides, by 1988 he had ...

German Afternoons

German Afternoons (1986) more music like this

by John Prine

Another straight country set, but unlike Sweet Revenge, this is a sleepy-town stroll, featuring snappy accompaniment by the New Grass Revival. After the terrific opening take on the Carter Family classic "Lulu Walls," the record glides along at a gentle tempo, yielding the clever "Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian" and one classic ballad, "Speed of the ...

Pink Cadillac (1979) more music like this

by John Prine

John Prine went to Sam Phillips' studio in Memphis to make his sixth album, Pink Cadillac, and got some of the Sun Records sound of 1950s rockabilly on a record produced by Phillips' sons Knox and Jerry. (Sam produced two of the tracks himself.) Slapback bass here, a Bo Diddley beat there, and an overall loose feel characterized music that may ...

Bruised Orange (1978) more music like this

by John Prine

Despite some brilliant songs, Prine's followup albums to his stunning debut were uneven until this, his fifth, produced by his friend Steve Goodman. Here, Prine's always finely-tuned sense of absurdity once again collides with his ability to depict pain sympathetically for a whole album, typified by "That's the Way That the World Goes 'Round," a ...

Souvenirs (2000) more music like this

by John Prine

In the liner notes to John Prine's 2000 album Souvenirs, he calls the songs he has recorded during his 30-year career "faithful companions." They are indeed warm, friendly, and boldly intimate, whispering secrets to the listener -- but at the same time they are growing older and smoothing their youthful edge. In an effort to have his own master ...

Storm Windows (1980) more music like this

by John Prine

Released in 1980 by Asylum, Storm Windows would be John Prine's last attempt to record on a major label. One reviewer referred to the album as Prine's "best-sounding record," but one could argue that the production removes a great deal of the singer/songwriter's rough charm. While earlier albums like Diamonds in the Rough (1972) had seemed almost ...

Diamonds in the Rough (1972) more music like this

by John Prine

John Prine's second album was a cut below his first, only because the debut was a classic and the followup was merely terrific. "Sour Grapes" showed Prine's cracked sense of humor and "Souvenirs" his sentiment. Even if it was the second rank of his writing, Diamonds in the Rough demonstrated that Prine had an enduring talent that wasn't exhausted ...

A Tribute to Steve Goodman (1986) more music like this

by Various Artists

A Tribute to Steve Goodman culls the contents of a live performance at the Arts Crown Theatre by a variety of artists. While not every song here was recorded or written by Goodman, the concert is more a testament to the great affection these performers felt for Goodman and his music, and that sentiment comes through regardless of what's being ...

Live on Tour (1997) more music like this

by John Prine

Prine's second live album -- which also boasts three new studio tracks -- finds the singer/songwriter in fine form. Not surprisingly, the concert segment relies heavily on material from 1991's Grammy-winning The Missing Years, including rollicking versions of "Picture Show" and "Daddy's Little Pumpkin," plus an affecting "You Got Gold" and the ...

Great Days: The John Prine Anthology (1993) more music like this

by John Prine

Rhino's Great Days: The John Prine Anthology is an excellent summary of John Prine's prime period, from his sublime 1971 eponymous debut to 1991's Missing Years. This (appropriately) draws heavily from his early recordings (including the aforementioned debut), but it also does a terrific job of finding songs on uneven albums, while giving weight ...

Live (1988) more music like this

by John Prine

With years of experience playing club dates, John Prine has evolved into a very entertaining live performer, and this album, originally a double-LP and now a single CD, presents him at his intimate best, telling funny stories and performing his most impressive material in unadorned arrangements.

Adios Amigo: A Tribute to Arthur Alexander (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Among musicians, Arthur Alexander was always considered one of the greatest R&B songwriters. Both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones covered his songs, "Anna (Go To Him)" and "You Better Move On" respectively, early in their careers. But they weren't the only ones -- throughout the years, his work was a rich source material for many blues, soul, ...

Rock Live from Mountain Stage (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

One of the best releases in the Live From Mountain Stage series, this "rock" volume is more specifically an alternative country-rock outing; among the highlights are Wilco's "I Must Be High," the Bottle Rockets' poignant "Welfare Music" and the Jayhawks' transcendent "Blue."

Rolling Stone Presents: Male Singer-Songwriters (2001) more music like this

Rhino's 2001 release Rolling Stone Presents: Male Singer-Songwriters essentially is a condensed version of the Listen to the Music: Male Singer-Songwriters collection, containing pretty much the same song selection, with the substitutions erring toward the side of the familiar -- Cat Stevens' "Father and Son" becomes "Wild World," and so on. So, ...
