Prine's poetry is so perfect: timeless (it's kind of wild to note how relevant so many of his lyrics are -- if someone told me they had been written a few months ago, I'd believe it), and his low-key delivery complements the songs perfectly. Love.

This has been one of my favorite albums since I was a kid, and it's a little heartbreaking to note that the issues and societal ills Gaye addresses directly in these songs -- environmental crises, racism, poverty, police brutality -- haven't improved in the more than 50 years since the album was released. A gorgeous, powerful, inspiring, and often heartbreaking collection of songs.
