First record of new original material in over a decade (13 years). Produced by Dave Cobb. Guest appearances on the record include Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires. Rather than going out on a limb, Prine cultivated the themes that have brought international acclaim since the 1970s. For example, he can take a topic like loneliness and make it funny (Knockin’ on Your Screen Door) or heartbreaking (Summers End). Perfectly aligned with his quirkiest songs, The Lonesome Friends of Science makes its point through the characters he calls “those bastards in the white lab coats who experiment with mountain goats,” as well as the discredited planet Pluto and the towering Vulcan statue in Birmingham, Alabama. Prine teamed with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb to record in Nashville’s historic Studio A, enlisting friends like Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and Amanda Shires to sing along. The songs are new, although some had waited to be finished for decades, like a co-write with Phil Spector called God Only Knows. Another incomplete song, I Have Met My Love Today, now celebrates the unexpected spark that leads to lifelong romance - with a dash of youthful innocence. The musical arrangements may be simpler than on past efforts, yet his unique ability to distill complex emotions into everyday language remains fully intact.
