John Prine - Souvenirs

180-gram double LP

Limited edition etching on side 4

John Prine's 2000 release Souvenirs was a reimagining and re-recording of some of John's favorite songs throughout the years. For the first time, this record will be available as a vinyl double LP.

Souvenirs was produced by Prine and his longtime collaborator and friend, Jim Rooney, and includes members from his longtime band, Jason Wilber and Dave Jacques. The 15-track album features new performances of some of Prine's most beloved songs, including "Angel from Montgomery," "Sam Stone" and "Hello In There."

Prine reflected on the album in the original liner notes, writing, "These songs are beautiful. They have been faithful companions throughout the years, never letting me down and constantly making me new friends, even when I was sleeping...This collection of newly recorded versions was originally intended for European release only, as I have always wanted to be popular in Germany. After we mixed, sequenced and listened to the songs, all of us at Oh Boy decided that perhaps we should release this in the U.S., as I would like to be popular there as well."
