Title: The Tree of Forgiveness
Review: Prine’s first new material album in 13 years is just what you’d expect: wry songwriting, hilarious anecdotes, great Nashville studio musicianship and the gravelly-charming voice that has been enthralling people for 50 years. John Prine is a national treasure. I’m really glad he is still making music and not just eating daily meat loaf lunch specials round Nashville. Nothing all that new here- just good songs, good arrangements and John Prine. Very good bet for any admirer of his.
