Title: John Prine – Diamonds In The Rough
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre: 1972, Folk, Singer-Songwriter
Matrix #: SD 7240
Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

1. Chicago mailman-turned-songwriter, coming out of Old Town’s folk rooms where working-class stories competed with “serious” art folk.

2. Early-’70s America: Vietnam hangover and recession anxiety—his characters feel like people left out of the bright TV version of the country.

3. A stripped-back moment in the singer-songwriter era, when authenticity was policed and artists fought to keep control over how “real” looked.
