Angels from Montgomery: 4 Essential Albums 1971-1975

I remember seeing Prine's fourth album in the record racks in the seventies when I did not enjoy "country music". Four decades later I discovered what I'd been missing all these years. A masterful story teller in his song writing. I don't understand poetry well and John's "poetry" is sophisticatedly* straight forward.This is a two CD set of John's first four albums. I'll take that. Less room, more music.Masterful, simply masterful.* Not a word.

This set is the only way to get remastered versions of the first four JP albums. The Australian company that issued it, Raven Records, is now defunct, and there will be no more pressings. If you value the best audio versions of these classic JP tracks, bite the bullet and buy one NOW, because th-th-th-THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

Four albums in one. No lyrics but you probably know all these songs anyway.

Great Prine collection. I have about worn it out since it arrived.

Great buy. Great music. John Prine is one of a kind. Thank God, he gave us one.

Disc 2 has many glitches and skips.Also back label is stuck to case has tears in papers

This is a fantastic collection of John Prine's first four albums. Prine has built his career around telling the stories of men and women everywhere, often with humor and a poetic prowess like no other. Regarded by many as a folk singer's folk singer, Prine is a gifted singer-songwriter who has a song for everyone and everything. Very happy with this purchase. Two CD's of pure Prine!

very good

Top albums.

Finest American songsmith of recent era. Manages to distil fascinating insight into so-called normal, even banal, day to day experiences. Unique talent deserving of wider recognition.

Es gibt sie - Musikerkarrieren, die von Kollegen mehr geschätzt wurden als vom zahlenden Publikum. Der Singer/Songwriter John Prine ist ein Beispiel dafür ... leider. Gerade seine Alben und Songs in der ersten Hälfte der 70er Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts hätten viel mehr Resonanz verdient. Starke Melodien und tiefgreifende Texte, manche sehr intim, nicht selten politisch, und ganz häufig alltägliche Situationen beschreibend.Von daher verdient dieses preisgünstige 2-CD-Set mit John Prine's ersten vier LP's (1971-1975) höchste Beachtung ... und ich bin mir sicher: Sie werden Songs kennenlernen, die Sie lieben werden. Allein das selbstbetitelte Debüt von John Prine ist fast wie eine 'Greatest-Hits-Sammlung': Songs wie "Illegal Smile", "Hello In There", "Sam Stone", "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore", "Angel From Montgomery" oder "Donald And Lydia" sind beeindruckende Statements von längst vergangener Zeit ... und doch immer noch aktuell.Einige Musiker, die an diesen ersten vier LPs beteiligt waren:Reggie Young // David Bromberg // Steve Goodman // Leo LeBlanc // und viele andere mehr.Das 2-CD-Set (mit einem 12-seitigem Booklet) beinhaltet folgende Original-LPs (ohne Bonus-Tracks):> John Prine (1971)> Diamonds In The Rough (1972)> Sweet Revenge (1973)> Common Sense (1975)Die Soundqualität verdient die Note "Sehr Gut".Mein Fazit: Entdeckenswert und aus meiner Sicht die höchste Empfehlungsstufe![Reinhard Busse]

È semore un iacere sentire i lavori di un artista al massimo della sua creatività. Si nota un certo cedimento con gli anni.
