Product Details

Recorded just a few years after Prine's recovery from throat cancer, which altered his voice into something even more weathered and lived-in, this collection of classic country duets feels like a man settling comfortably into a new chapter. Prine had always worn his love of old honky-tonk and classic country on his sleeve, and here he gets to inhabit those songs fully, surrounded by voices that understand exactly where he's coming from.

John Prine returns to the world of studio recording with in Spite of Ourselves, his first new Oh Boy release in nearly five years. Teaming with Iris DeMent, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Melba Montgomery, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Dolores Keane and Connie Smith. Produced by longtime Prine collaborator Jim Rooney, "In Spite of Ourselves" juxtaposes Prine with three generations of traditional music's sweetest female voices and hearkens back to a time when cheating was as much a part of the lyrical equation as happily ever after.
