Product Details

Recorded just months after his stunning debut, *Diamonds in the Rough* finds Prine leaning into the folk and country roots beneath the surface of his songwriting, with a loose, acoustic informality that suited the material perfectly. Kris Kristofferson and others had already taken notice, but this second record showed Prine wasn't interested in chasing commercial polish , he was chasing something truer.


Sour Grapes and Yes I Guess They Oughta Name a Drink after You display that trademark Prine wit on this 1972 release.
