Reviews3 stars out of 5 - "...Prine has chosen the most throat-lumpin' country tunes ever written, and treated them with the simplerespect and emotional honesty they deserve. If Hank Williams was still alive he'd buy this one and cry into his beer.", "...a character with enough self-depreciating charm to pull off just about anything. Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris, Iris Dement, and five others share 16 songs with Prine...and it works splendidly..." - Rating: B+, "...reveals himself as an outstanding singer in the George Jones mould and the selection of duets is astute enough to offer honest charm and genuine sentiment without any of the sickly overkill of clichT....refreshingly natural.", "...vintage country weepers recorded as duets with some of the most expressive of the current crop of country singers....This is a fun CD that shows that Prine can salute his musical lineage with both authenticity and tongue firmly in cheek.", 9 out of 10 - "...daydream believin' and goofy good times....an easy-flowing intimacy perfectly fitting the most lovably fun folkie since Bragg-Wilco's Woody Guthrie."
Only minor issue was that the little circle of teeth that hold the disk in place were all broken off. I trust that the item was not dispatched in this condition, the parcel had obviously been crushed in transit, so maybe more robust packaging would be a good idea. (it was fine, I replaced it with part of an empty spare I had)
A very good HDCD album of country songs, with John Prine on lead vocals, duets with various female country singers, including his wife. The recording quality is very good as are all the songs performed by quality artists.
