Product Description

John Prine returns to the world of studio recording with in Spite of Ourselves, his first new Oh Boy release in nearly five years. Teaming with Iris DeMent, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Melba Montgomery, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Dolores Keane and Connie Smith. Produced by longtime Prine collaborator Jim Rooney, "In Spite of Ourselves" juxtaposes Prine with three generations of traditional music's sweetest female voices and hearkens back to a time when cheating was as much a part of the lyrical equation as happily ever after.

Amazon.com

You've got to hand it to John Prine. On the first song on this collection of duets, he plunges valiantly into "(We're Not) The Jet Set," singing the part made famous by George Jones, the Caruso of country music. And Prine, never blessed with the most pliant pipes, promptly pancakes a note flatter than Kansas. Aw, heck! The songwriter's songwriter takes a curious turn with his first studio album since 1995's Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings. Here he's penned only the hysterically coarse title track, opting instead to coo a slew of classic lovin'-and-losin' country tunes with Iris DeMent, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Connie Smith, Trisha Yearwood, Melba Montgomery, Patty Loveless, Fiona Prine, and Dolores Keane. Given Prine's ragged-but-right voice, the effect is something akin to casting a grizzled character actor opposite Katherine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story. And you know what? It'd probably still be a charming (albeit very different) movie, because romantic comedies, like country duets, are all about chemistry, which is something In Spite of Ourselves has in excess. --Steven Stolder

OK, OK - honestly. I had never heard of John Prine. I am an old school rocker who has less than dabbled in country. With my Pandora subscription, however, I have exposed myself to so much great music the last two years and my taste is slowly changing. (If I was rating Pandora here it would also be 5 stars.) The title song played a couple of times on My Johnny Cash radio station I created. The first time I heard it, I laughed out loud because I thought the lyrics were hilarious. I sat at my desk and listened to the whole song from start to finish. I gave it a thumbs up and then it began to come up more and more often, and I found myself really enjoying the music. So - I opened up a new tab, headed over to Amazon and bought it. When it came in the mail (in less than a week with free super saver shipping), my wife and kids immediately made fun of me, BUT - and this is a big BUT - it is now everyone's favorite CD. I have owned it for several months now and we must have listened to this thing over 300 times. Every time we get in the car, someone wants to hear a particular song. And the more we have listened to it, the more we have connected to it. It is a beautiful CD with some really catchy songs that are alot of fun to sing along to. This is one of the best CD's that I have bought in years.

John Prine strikes again...beautifully

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 1999

In a year of wonderful cd releases, here comes another--John Prine'samazing new cd, IN SPITE OF OURSELVES. I can't imagine a more joyful, charmingnew work than John's. His voice is as warm and welcoming as I've ever heard it. He has chosen mostly old country songs and delivers them with an infectious mix of humor and straightforward delivery. What an interesting choice of duet partners: Iris DeMent, Delores Keane, Lucinda Williams, Patty Loveless, Connie Smith, Trisha Yearwood, Melba Montgomery, Emmylou Harris, and Fiona Prine. Highlights for me include: "Milwaukee Here I Come" (a hoot of a duet with Melba), "Back Street Affair" (with Patty Loveless who is at her absolute peak voice... gorgeous), Kieran Kane's beautiful song"In a Town This Size" (strange but successful combination of Prine with the very Irish, Delores Keane), "Dear John, I Sent Your Saddle Home" (funny song with backup vocals from Jim Rooney, Glen Harden, Pat McInerney, et al.). And the best of all, the one song penned by John Prine himself, "In Spite of Ourselves" a hilarious and a bit filthy duet with the exquisite Iris DeMent. It is truly an amazing song and so nice to hear Iris get down and dirty. Beautifully produced by Jim Rooney and John Prine, the album sounds gorgeous --laid-back, quiet and largely acoustic. Make up your own mind about this new cd. Enjoy.

I've been a John Prine fan for years, and never considered not buying this CD.
After my first couple play-throughs, I still wasn't sure what to think: this wasn't exactly the John Prine I'd been listening to for years. His voice is certainly a little rough around the edges. And this IS a cover album (but is worth the price for the title track alone), which isn't the normal John Prine speed.
Then I realized that I never really like Prine for his voice, rather for his heart and his wit. And both are here in spades on this album. This is a GREAT collection of songs, sung by a fabulous man and some truly awesome women. There is more quality lurking in this album than many other artists can muster in a lifetime. I can't think of another performer with the real American soul of John Prine, and here he shows us a side of it that many have never seen before. It is a revelation and a blessing.
Buy this CD. After hearing it, you'll never regret it.

too country

Prine wrote great Rock and Country rock.

But these duets are too country, and too nasal.

Prine lyric are ok but much better on other disks . Sounds Too "Grand Ole Opry" here.

Takes you back to younger years. While listening to this CD you will find yourself thinking and
saying, I've done that, Hey that's me, I remember that. What can anyone say about the music
of John Prine. What a Writer and Singer. I never rate anyone as Excellent but John Prine is
knocking on that door. I Have No Complaints.

It's John Prine - It's five stars!

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 1999

John Prine, Lucinda Williams, the wonderful Iris Dement. This duets only album of covers (with the exception of the hilarious title cut), is not what Prine fans expected for sure, given that he is considered by his fans as one of the greatest songwriters of his age (or anybody else's for that matter), but this disc is simply charming from begining to end. Some of the gals Prine "croons" with here have voices nearly as rough as his! Emmylou even seems a little rougher than usual. All to the best! Prine and Dement should tour. He has been a key supporter of her career, and she clearly fits in well with him. This would represent my "have to go to, concert of the year". Who knows, perhaps Prine is a little comfy right now and a little short of material. Happens to the best of em! This disc is much more than just a stopgap however, it is wonderful entertainment featuring great talent and great timeless songs, and please, if for nothing else, get it for the lone Prine original "In Spite Of Ourselves", an uproarious duet with Iris, "sniffing my undies!! Jeez, John you ole' horndog you!

Nice album of ye olde timee music.
The deep red wine coloured vinyl is gorgeous but the vinyl has small dimples on the pressing surface.
I had to return my first copy as one track persisted in jumping ahead. The second is fine so I was unlucky; it does have the dimples but they don't affect playing.

The reviews on Discogs slated this as a poor copy with poor mastering but upon listening on my record player at home I can conclude that it sounds awesome. Great album that will have you singing along in no time especially the title song.
