Editorial Reviews
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.

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
Review
"The theme linking these honky-tonk standards and obscurities is fidelity, or the lack thereof, served up with a double shot of wry." -- Rolling Stone

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.
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.
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.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2021
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.
