Taking a page from his late friend Steve Goodman's playbook, Prine bet on himself, and \"Aimless Love\" remains the proof that the gamble paid off, a warm, unhurried collection that sounds like a man finally comfortable in his own creative house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003eJohn Prine's 1984 album \u003ci\u003eAimless\u003c\/i\u003e Love was his first release on his independent record label, Oh Boy Records. Prine and his longtime manager Al Bunetta formed Oh Boy Records in an attempt to take control of his own music. In a 1985 interview with Bobby Bare on \u003ci\u003eThe Nashville Network,\u003c\/i\u003e Prine explained that he'd been inspired to start his own label by Steve Goodman's modest success with Red Pajamas Records and named it \"Oh Boy\" because of how the expression is apropos for both good and bad situations. \"There ain't no middleman, there is no like swarthy little character in Cleveland that gets the money from the people that want the music,\" Prine told Bare, \"and then he takes most of it, twirls his moustache, and then sends me twelve cents.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAimless Love\u003c\/i\u003e would be Prine's first album of original material since \u003ci\u003eStorm Windows\u003c\/i\u003e in 1980.
