Fittingly for a former mailman, John Prine delivered songs that are both literate and personal. The skilled and compassionate storyteller enjoyed widespread critical acclaim in the wake of his groundbreaking eponymous debut and continued to write and perform songs that became central to our American musical heritage for nearly five decades. Among the English language’s premier phrase-turners with music relevant to any age, Prine’s 2000 release Souvenirs was a reimagining and re-recording of some of the late singer\/songwriter’s favorite songs throughout the years including “Angel From Montgomery,” “Sam Stone,” “Grandpa Was A Carpenter,” “Six O’Clock News,” and “Please Don’t Bury Me.” Co-produced with Jim Rooney, the spare arrangements and Prine’s added experience embolden the heavy-hearted folk tunes beautifully and the fact that he was now able to own master recordings of some of the signature songs from his first three albums only sweetened the deal. This 180g 2LP pressing marks its first appearance on vinyl! ETCHING ON SIDE 4!
