Description

You are bidding on a signed original pressing of John Prine's Common Sense LP. Vinyl is NM, cover is VG+. Prine has signed it as "To Dan Thanks for the shirts!" -John Prine.

JOHN PRINE -- COMMON SENSE -- 1975 ATLANTIC RECORDS -- SD 18127   Folksinger John Prine sought to augment his spare accompaniment with his fourth release, COMMON SENSE. He reigned in the formidable Steve Cropper (of Stax-Volt fame) to sit in the producer's chair and the result was a noted departure from the minimal sound of his prior releases. Though the sweetened up sound offended more than a few purists at the time, any keen ear can detect that Prine has lost none of his flair.

The title carries all the clever turns of phrase and imaginative wordplay fans have come to expect from Prine. Very few writers could pull off a song about Americans' cynicism and indifference towards their own country without actually sounding cynical themselves. Prine does just that before launching into the freewheeling "Come Back to Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard," a hilarious tale of a hippie's fruitless search for nirvana.
