A new John Prine box set, Crooked Piece of Time, featuring the singer-songwriters first seven albums, will be released October 23rd via Rhino.
The seven-CD collection comprises Prines output on Atlantic and Asylum Records, released between 1971 and 1980. These include favorites such as his 1971 self-titled debut, 1973s Sweet Revenge, 1975s Common Sense and 1980s Storm Windows.
The seven albums will be presented in mini-LP replica sleeves, while the collection will also come with poster inserts and a 20-page booklet featuring new liner notes from journalist and Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke. The collections cover art is a portrait of Prine painted by Joshua Petker, based on a photo taken by Jim Shea.
Crooked Piece of Time arrives about five months after Prine died from complications related to Covid-19 at the age of 73. In June, Prines family released his final recorded song, I Remember Everything, which was produced by Dave Cobb and co-written by Prine and long-time collaborator Pat McLaughlin.
