Product Description
From Amazon.com
For his third album, John Prine returned to the fuller sound of his landmark debut while venturing into increasingly cryptic lyrical terrain. Songs such as "Mexican Home," "Accident (Things Could Be Worse)," and "Blue Umbrella" are open-to-interpretation explorations that reveal the songsmith's intrepid reflections; they're also among the 12-song set's best numbers. "Dear Abby" is a comical novelty number while "Christmas in Prison" is a doleful in-the-clink carol. The openhearted "A Good Time" slipped into the shadows after Sweet Revenge (like Prine's other Atlantic albums) failed to hit commercial paydirt, but it's as touching as anything Prine has penned. This outing isn't as musically distinctive as Prine's other albums from his early period, but as collections of songs go, it's first-rate. --Steven Stolder

This review is from: Sweet Revenge (Audio CD)
With this line John begins to take us on a wonderful ride of emotions, wit and sadness in the span of about 40 minutes. You might say "hey, this dude never had a hit record in his life" and you are right but that's one of his better qualities as far as I'm concerned. His slice-of-life songs are so memorable that you'll have a hard time forgetting them. "The Accident" and "Dear Abbey" are hilarious. "A Good Time" and "Christmas in Prison" are breathtaking. I could go on and on but the best advice is to just listen and soak it all up.

classic funky folk,
By marjorie metzler (rochester new york) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweet Revenge (Audio CD)
Sweet Revenge was the first jp album I heard way back when.It was the way he told his stories that struck me I was always a fan of songwriter singers,like Kristofferson,but John Prine was a different brand.My favorites are the accident and dear abby.I really regret I dont have the opportunity to tell this fun loving musical genius how much enjoyment and smiles,he has given me over the last 20 years.I know this one isnt from Sweet Revenge,but it is a GREAT song,Jesus,the missing years,Ilove it.You can tell he really enjoys writing and performing these gems,its obvious in his voice!
