John Prine – In Spite of Ourselves (CD) collection-brooklyn-bowl Victim (3:38)Recorded just a few years after Prine's recovery from throat cancer, which altered his voice into something even more weathered and lived in, this collection of classic country duets feels like a man settling comfortably into a new chapter. Prine had always worn his love of old honky tonk and classic country on his sleeve, and here he gets to inhabit those songs fully, surrounded by voices that understand exactly where he's coming from.
