Product Details

When John Prine stepped into the studio with Mac Wiseman, he was sitting across from a living link to the first generation of bluegrass, a man who sang with Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe before most of Prine's fans were born. That generational bridge gives these old chestnuts real weight; Prine's gift for finding the human truth in a lyric met its natural counterpart in Wiseman's plainspoken, unadorned delivery.

It's no stretch to call STANDARD SONGS FOR AVERAGE PEOPLE a masterpiece. Standard songs, yes, but with extraordinary choices and performances. Average people these aren't, but the title carries the message that music like this, timeless and gentle and humane, is not for music snobs or insiders. It's not only for the old or the young or for a demographic and psychographic. It is, across generation and persuasion, for all of us.
