Teaming with Iris DeMent, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Melba Montgomery, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Dolores Keane and Connie Smith. Produced by longtime Prine collaborator Jim Rooney, \"In Spite of Ourselves\" juxtaposes Prine with three generations of traditional music's sweetest female voices and hearkens back to a time when cheating was as much a part of the lyrical equation as happily ever after.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e    Tracks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    Credits\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e    1 (We're Not) the Jet Set\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    2 So Sad (To Watch Good Love Go Bad)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    3 Wedding Bells\/Let's Turn Back the Years\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    4 When Two Worlds Collide\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    5 Milwaukee Here I Come\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    6 I Know One\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    7 It's a Cheating Situation\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    8 Back Street Affair\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    9 Loose Talk\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    10 Let's Invite Them Over\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    11 Til a Tear Becomes a Rose\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    12 In a Town This Size\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    13 We Could\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    14 We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    15 In Spite of Ourselves\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    16 Dear John (I Sent Your Saddle Home)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePersonnel includes: John Prine (vocals, acoustic guitar); Iris DeMent, Connie Smith, Lucinda Williams, Trisha Yearwood, Melba Montgomery, Emmylou Harris, Dolores Keane, Patty Loveless, Fiona Prine (vocals); Jason Wilber (acoustic \u0026amp; electric guitars, background vocals); Jim Rooney (acoustic guitar, background vocals); Marty Stuart (acoustic guitar); Dan Dugmore (pedal steel guitar, dobro); Sam Bush (mandolin, fiddle); Phil Parlapiano (mandolin, accordion, piano, Hammond B-3 organ, Wurlitzer piano); Shawn Camp (fiddle, background vocals); Glen D.

Throughout IN SPITE OF OURSELVES, the main theme bounces between lovin' and cheatin' in different circumstances, be it swapping spouses (\"Let's Invite Them Over,\" with Iris DeMent) or being discreet in a small town (\"In a Town This Size,\" with Dolores Keane). Backed by crying pedal steel, mournful dobros, and rippling piano, Prine makes the kind of classic country that was pouring out of Nashville in the late '60s and early '70s.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPrine's laconic singing style meshes perfectly with such contemporary country superstars as Trisha Yearwood (Roger Miller's \"When Two Worlds Collide\") and Patty Loveless (Webb Pierce's \"Back Street Affair\"). Other notable partners included Lucinda Williams (\"Wedding Bells\/Let's Turn Back the Years\"), Melba Montgomery (\"We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds\" and \"Milwaukee Here I Come\"), and Emmylou Harris (\"I Know One\"). Of all these notable vocalists, Iris DeMent turns out to be Prine's perfect partner. With her Carter Family-inflected twang, DeMent fits hand-in-glove with Prine's relaxed delivery, particularly on the George Jones\/Tammy Wynette nugget, \"(We're Not) The Jet Set.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: COUNTRY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 9\/14\/1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Prine","offers":[{"title":"- COUNTRY *NEW*","offer_id":54534982664529,"sku":"1JJB8I-FERU-ND","price":14.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/9297\/8001\/files\/john-prine-in-spite-of-ourselves_sQS7j.jpg?v=1786420800","url":"https:\/\/ilovevinylrecords.com\/products\/john-prine-in-spite-of-ourselves","provider":"I Love Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
