Customer Reviews of In Spite Of Ourselves
You'll play it and play it and play it. So I heard that review on Public Radio and was intrigued. I ordered the disc, popped it in the player on a long West Virginia turnpike drive, turned the sound up, and thought, "Oh, God, no one can catch me listening to THIS." And then I played it again. And again. And again. And now I'm dubbing it for friends. All hail to John Prine for deciding to have FUN with music and doing what he wants. And any guy who can duet with Ireland's wonderful Dolores Keane recognizes special talent, indeed. You'll love his Hank Williams songs, his hilarious "In Spite of Ourselves" duet, and his melodies with Iris Dement and Emmylou and Melba and . . . oh, there's enough here to carry you 'cross country on one disc. Do yourself a favor. Laugh and sing while your drive. . .
Unexpectedly Charming
I was all set to not like this record -- John Prine is hardly the type of singer you'd think anyone could harmonize with (much less for an album of duets), and when I heard "Til A Tear Becomes A Rose" (with wife Fiona Prine) on local public radio, I first thought "clunker." Surprise -- this collection of country standards about relationships is a charmer, and most of Prine's partners -- including Emmylou Harris, Connie Smith, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Melba Montgomery, and Lucinda Williams -- find ways to fit their voices with Prine's. Some liasons don't work, most notably with Irish singer Dolores Keane who phrases too straight to fit. Far and away, the best performances are with Iris DeMent; they click on George Jones & Melba Montgomery's "Let's Invite Them Over," the George & Tammy classic "(We're Not) The Jet Set," and the offhandly bawdy title track (the only Prine original). The recording and arrangements are stripped down to show the core of these country gems, and the results are as magnetic as a couple in love that's been together 20 years or more.
An instant classic
If you are a John Prine fan and you enjoy "country flavored" music then this CD is a must have. The tunes all sound like old classics. The performances are great. I can't believe I did not know about this Cd until now.
