Part 3. Part One was here; part two is here. Phil Spector pops up everywhere. Part 4 is here.

From Brooklyn Vegan:  John Prine releases his first LP of new songs in thirteen years -- February 8, 2018.

Folk and songwriting great John Prine seems like he’s always on the road playing shows, but it’s been a while since he’s released an album of new songs.

Thirteen years to be specific, but he’s got a new album, The Tree of Forgiveness, on the way which features songwriting collaborations with The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach and Phil Spector, and the record itself features guest appearances by Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires.

It’s out April 13 via Oh Boy Records and you can listen to “Summer’s End,” which features Brandi Carlile on backing vocals, below.

From Rolling Stone:

John Prine has set April 13th as the release date for his first album of all-new material in more than 13 years.

The Tree of Forgiveness, on the iconic singer-songwriter’s own Oh Boy label, was produced by Dave Cobb, the Grammy winner who has helmed projects for Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell and Mary Chapin Carpenter, among others.

Recorded at Nashville‘s RCA Studio A, the album features several Prine co-writes with such noted tunesmiths as Roger Cook (the pair previously co-wrote George Strait‘s 1998 chart-topper “I Just Want to Dance With You”), the Black Key’s Dan Auerbach, Keith Sykes and Phil Spector.

Special guests on the record include Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires.
