The Tree Of Forgiveness

Description

Produced by Dave Cobb in Nashville's historic Studio A, this new album by American country/folk songwriter John Prine is his first in thirteen years! A genre reference, he has been covered or performed by Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Betty LaVette, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant, and many more. With The Trees of Forgiveness, he returns to the themes that made his reputation, able to sing about loneliness in a funny or heartbreaking way. While the songs are new, some have waited a long time to be finished, such as "God Only Knows," co-written with Phil Spector, or "I Have Met My Love Today," which now celebrates what has become the love of a lifetime. Surrounded by his friends Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and Amanda Shires for the occasion, John Prine manages to evoke the same emotion as he did over a decade ago.
