{"product_id":"souvenirs-1","title":"Souvenirs","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen John Prine wrote and recorded the likes of\u003ci\u003e Hello In There, Angel From Montgomery\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSouvenirs\u003c\/i\u003e in the early '70s, he came across like a social security recipient in a young man's body. As he revisits those tunes and more favorites from his salad days, the wisdom Prine possessed as a twentysomething troubadour seems all the more remarkable. the raison d'tre for souvenirs may be rather prosaic. Prine rerecorded 15 early classics so that he could own master recordings of a bunch of songs from his first three albums, as well as a few stragglers from the late '70s and early '80s, but the flatteringly spare arrangements and Prine's wizened delivery only add weight to these heavy-hearted folk tunes. \"It took me years to get those souvenirs \/ and i don't know how they slipped away from me,\" Prine sings on the title track, a remnant from 1972's \u003ci\u003eDiamonds in the Rough\u003c\/i\u003e. well, John, they didn't slip away at all; they're still shining like gems under a layer of dust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oh Boy Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50472952037707,"sku":"1094388","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50472952430923,"sku":"289746","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/91b71817-3a90-4470-9c8a-b2d9f1ec344a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727425167","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/souvenirs-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
