Notes & Personnel Info | | GREAT DAYS: THE JOHN PRINE ANTHOLOGY contains 41 tracks on 2 CDs spanning the years 1971-1991. Includes a 50-page booklet containing extensive liner notes, rare photographs, complete personnel listings, a discography and track annotations written by John Prine. | | Personnel includes: John Prine (vocals, guitar); Steve Cropper, John Burns, John Christopher, Reggie Young, Jim Rooney (guitar); Dave Prine (fiddle); Leo LeBlanc (pedal steel guitar); Bobby Wood (piano); David Briggs (piano, organ); Bobby Emmons, James Brown, Mike Utley (organ); Bobby Whitlock (electric piano); Sid Sims, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Mike Leach, Tom Piekarski (bass); Steve Burgh (bass, drums, guitar); Rachel Peer-Prine (bass, background vocals); Kenny Malone, Gene Chrisman, Tony Newman, Tom Radtke, Angie Varias (drums). | | Producers include: Steve Cropper, Steve Goodman, Knox Phillips, Jerry Phillips, Barry Beckett. | | Compilation producers: James Austin, John Prine, Al Bunetta, Dan Einstein. | | Remastered by Bill Inglot and Ken Perry. | | Recorded between 1971-1991. Includes liner notes by David Fricke. | | Spread across two enticing discs, the GREAT DAYS anthology makes it plain that living during a time when John Prine is releasing music makes for some great days indeed. The fact that Prine had to wait 20 years to receive a Grammy should not for a second obscure the fact that he has been making rewarding albums since his debut in 1971. He is but one of the many songwriters to labor under the "Next Bob Dylan" tag. In Prine's case, however, the remarkable consistency inherent in his writing supports such a claim, hyperbole notwithstanding. | | With deadpan delivery and economic wordplay as calling cards, Prine's songs reflect a startling lack of bitterness for a man whose career has seen many commercial ups and downs. Prine's body of work reflects a country heart filled with a rocker's sense of mischief. Whether it's the loneliness of aging ("Hello In There") or anti-cynicism itself ("That's the Way The World Goes 'Round"), GREAT DAYS reveals one of the nation's secret heroes in all his "aw shucks" glory. |

| Artist Overview |
| Chicagoan John Prine burst onto the early '70s singer-songwriter scene amid a flurry of competely justified hype. He was among the first of many artists pegged as "the new Dylan," but his combination of folk, country, and poetic-but-simple lyrics was completely his own. Over the years, his albums have featured rock and country shadings to varied degrees, but his inimitable writing style has remained consistent. |
