John Prine - Live At The Music Inn 1973 '2021

Tracks list

       In 1971, John Prine released one of the most impressive debut records
ever made, proving himself capable of writing folk balladry, country, and rock
songs laced with pathos, sensitivity, and sardonic humour that reflected on the
human condition. Seeming to have arrived fully-formed, Prine had actually, since
the late 1960s, been performing at open-mic nights at the 3rd Peg club in
Chicago, while maintaining his day job delivering mail. A critical smash but a
commercial disappointment, his eponymous first album set the tone for the rest
of his career. His next two sets, 1971's Diamonds In The Rough and Sweet
Revenge, released in 1973, proved that the first album was no fluke. His songs
continued to have depth, compassion, and an understanding that belied his young
age. His solo acoustic performance, recorded for radio broadcast at the
legendary Music Inn in Lenox, MA, during the summer of 1973, captures Prine
performing material from his first three albums stripped down to their bare
essence. In almost every case, these songs are even more compelling with just
the man's voice and guitar. This audience, the vast majority of whom had come to
see headliner Bonnie Raitt, is immediately drawn in and responds with great
enthusiasm, bringing out a most inspired choice of material from Prine. Taken as
a whole, this remarkable set is overwhelming in its diversity and contains a
wealth of Prine's most memorable compositions.
