Common Sense

Common Sense was John Prine’s fourth studio album, and final album released with Atlantic Records before moving to Asylum. Produced by Booker T. and the M.G.’s guitarist and songwriter Steve Cropper, the album features a number of headline collaborators such as Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Glenn Fray; as well as Steve Goodman continuing to feature with Prine. Tracks such as Forbidden Jimmy and Saddle In The Rain show a slight change in Prine’s sound with Cropper’s production. The album also features a cover of Chuck Berry’s You Can Never Tell.
