One of the most celebrated singer/songwriters of his generation - and recipient of the Grammy's 2020 Lifetime Achievement Award - John Prine was a master storyteller whose work was often witty and always heartfelt, frequently offering a sly but sincere reflection of his Midwestern American roots. While Prine's songs were often rooted in folk and country flavours, he was no stranger to rock & roll, R&B, and rockabilly, and he readily adapted his rough but expressive voice to his musical surroundings. His songs were recorded by a long list of well-respected artists, including Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristofferson, Carly Simon, George Strait, Norah Jones, John Denver, Miranda Lambert, The Everly Brothers, Bette Midler, Paul Westerberg, Tammy Wynette and Dwight Yoakam.
This 7CD boxed set comes in a clamshell box and includes mini-LP replica sleeves, poster inserts and a 20-page booklet featuring new liner notes by acclaimed music journalist David Fricke. The cover painting by artist Joshua Petker, based on a photo by Jim Shea, was specially commissioned for this release.
John Prine's Atlantic and Asylum albums are included in this set: John Prine (1971), Diamonds In The Rough (1972), Sweet Revenge (1973), Common Sense (1975), Bruised Orange (1978), Pink Cadillac (1979) and Storm Windows (1980).
