John Prine – German Afternoons LP Sale

John Prine s 1986 album German Afternoons was his second release on Oh Boy Records, the independent label he formed with his manager Al Bunetta, and delves further into the country-flavored sound established on his 1984 release Aimless Love. Like Aimless Love, German Afternoons was co-produced by Nashville veteran Jim Rooney but also features contributions from the progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival, and this accounts for Prine s return to the folk-sound of his early albums on songs like Lulu Walls and Paradise , the latter a rerecording of the self-penned classic which appeared on the singer s debut John Prine in 1971. Perhaps the most significant song that appears on German Afternoons is The Speed of the Sound of Loneliness , which became a concert staple and an instant classic for many Prine devotees.
