Diamonds In The Rough

Following his self-titled debut album in 1971, John Prine returned the following year with his second studio album Diamonds In The Rough.

Prine’s songwriting was on form as ever, writing timeless classics such as Souvenir and the anti-war song The Great Compromise. The album also featured fellow folk singer-songwriter Steve Goodman on guitar and harmonies, as well as John’s brother Dave Prine playing mandolin, fiddle, banjo and supplying backing vocals.
