Happy that more people will be introduced to John's music, and I love to support Oh Boy.
Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine, Vol. 2 (Vinyl) - OH BOY RECORDS
A star-studded album celebrating John's life and music. Click here for more information and to reserve your copy on the Oh Boy Records store!ohboy.com
But if I'm going to play these songs I'd much rather hear John sing them.
True I dug the last one though.
Norman Records might be worth a look. I think you can actually call Dinked on the phone directly to order too.
Scrap that. You can't. Here's the list of stockings

That kinda release is probably for listeners like me who love a lot of the songwriting of some prolific musicians but who don't particularly care for their voices. Dylan's my main culprit on this and Prine's isn't bad at all but I can see a lot of listeners liking covers from artists who have different styles. Like, if I'm going to listen to Angel of Montgomery, I'm probably not reaching for John's version first on Spotify even as the original artist. I would imagine some of Oh Boy's strategy on this is that pulling in new people who wouldn't normally listen to John Prine is going to lead to wider releases of his catalog than choosing an album that his diehards may want.
At least that's how I originally got introduced to John Prine: it was an Unwed Fathers cover or two by artists who I already enjoyed a lot.

Yeah for sure. Sounds like they’re coming. I’ve had aimless love. Either cogs or my local don’t remember. Just picked up German afternoons for 65 a couple weeks ago. But I really do want to complete that collection on vinyl. He’s one artist, to me at least, that doesn’t make a bad song.

True but I also like cover albums if it's actually done with care. The Day of the Dead box set that's all covers of Grateful Dead songs is really awesome.
Hometowns (10th Anniversary Edition)
"The Toronto-based trio, led by born-and-bred Albertan Nils Edenloff, has created an affecting debut that's full of nostalgic songs about hometowns (hence its title) and heartbreaks, marrying salt-of-the-earth acoustic rock to energetic rhythms and grand orchestral arrangements. Even Edenloff's...

I get this, and normally HATE cover albums but I feel like Country is so big on covers and standards that I kinda love Prine's songs getting that treatment. And this should have a great tracklist. I think I'm in

Hell Yeah,
Hoping Oh Boy is going to start working away on this. I like their store redesign and am actually listening to Dan Reeder's albums and I realized I slept on him. Also a reissue coming for The Bis-quits which bodes well for some catalogue stuff.
And was there always free shipping on orders over $50?
I finally received the new Kelsey Waldon EPs I ordered from OhBoy. I am hoping they will reissue their Todd Snider and Prine releases that were CD only.

Seconding the Norman Records reco. Super reliable and surprisingly affordable for imports.
Agree totally. I wish they would also reissue her Anchor In The Valley s/t LP. However, I don't think Kelsey is interested in reissuing her pre Gold Mine EPs and AiTV album, although the material is quite good. I think putting the pre GM material out there as a demos collection, if she has concerns about the recording quality, would be a welcome addition.
Yes this would be awesome. I have this EP of hers that I downloaded from Noisetrade back in the day and it awesome.
