John Prine Anthology

Well, folks, The Anthology came out today, and the aforementioned song is on it, along with 41 others. Following is the track listing, etc. In the second column is the letter designating the source album (album being a collection of songs, regardless of format). Following the track listing is the legend to the sources. Note that "Oh Boy" is John Prine's Own label, operated by Al Bunetta, who also operated Red Pajamas for Steve Goodman, and Blue Plate for Mountain Stage. There's a 48 page booklet along with the two CD's chock full of reminiscences, B&W photos, and very detailed track annotation. The only thing missing is individual track times ;-)
