Description
John Prine - SWEET REVENGE is a 1973 LP release on the Atlantic label # SD 7274.
Prine's third album is louder and more jaded than his first efforts, a set of rowdy country-rockers that tear along at a reckless speed. Sympathy takes a back seat to cynicism here, and Prine's irreverence is consistently thrilling, making this one of his best. It steered his music in a new direction, Sweet Revenge established cynicism as Prine's dominant voice once and for all. Although he could still crank out a great ballad when he felt like it, from now on his records largely followed a more conventional rock & roll muse, a choice that eventually gained him more mainstream attention. "Please Don't Bury Me," "Christmas in Prison," "Blue Umbrella," and "A Good Time" are a few of the jewels on this one.
The album includes the original lyric insert. The jacket shows shows light wear on the front, back & top edge and wear on the bottom edge, spine & corners. The record is in EX to NM condition.
