Souvenirs is a studio album by John Prine, released in 2000. [5] [6] Originally intended for German-only release, the album consists of new performances of some of Prine's most popular early songs. [7]
AllMusic critic Zac Johnson wrote that "John Prine's contemporary touches on these old favorites may provide new insights, but the new versions rarely surpass the originals." [1] Country Standard Time called the album "an endearing, entertaining stopgap for fans waiting to hear new gems from this talented songwriter." [8] The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette called it "a gem," writing that the songs exist "in their spare, acoustic glory with only the rough edges of Prine’s voice to guide you." [9] The Irish Times called it "a stunning reminder" of "Prine's consistently intelligent take on how to tell a story." [10]
All tracks composed by John Prine.
