The Tree Of Forgiveness
John Prine
Rather than appearing as a somber final act, this release functions like a casual gathering. It highlights the songwriter's ongoing ability to identify comedy within daily life through his distinct vocal delivery and lyrical focus.
Producers Dan Auerbach and Dave Cobb kept the arrangements sparse to ensure the guitar work remained prominent. By stripping away extraneous noise, the tracks provide a clear look at his craft in the late stages of a long professional career.
