Claude says:The Avett Brothers' reverence for John Prine comes through in every rough-hewn arrangement here — they get the humor and heart that made Prine's songwriting legendary, especially on Spanish Pipedream which you've circled back to across two years. It's the kind of tribute record that works because they're not trying to smooth anything out, just letting those fingerpicked guitars and close harmonies sit in Prine's stories the way they deserve.
