John Prine – For Better, Or Worse (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
John Prine spent decades proving that a well-worn country song could carry as much emotional weight as any original. On this collection of classic duets, he leans into a tradition stretching back to George Jones and Tammy Wynette, pairing his weathered, conversational baritone with a generation of artists who grew up listening to him just as much as to the old masters he's honoring here.
The follow up to John Prine's Grammy winning record, In Spite of Ourselves, For Better, or Worse features duets with Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Alison Krauss, Susan Tedeschi,Lee Ann Womack & More.
“I’ve always been a sucker for a duet, you know?” says John Prine in his Chicago-infused Kentucky accent. “I always liked it on TV when two people that didn’t ordinarily sing together would do somethin’ like ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ and ham it up, kinda jokin’ around with it.”
He especially likes duets when they are sung by a couple. “A lot of character comes out when a man and a woman are singin’ back and forth—unless it’s one of those modern recordings when they haven’t even met each other and they’re both singin’ to tracks in the studio,” he says.
