Just like the album a few years ago, 'Fair and Square' .... there was in most of the songs a build up to a good punch line or quip / or memorable verbal observation.

More about The Tree of Forgiveness
The highly-anticipated album, The Tree of Forgiveness, is Prine's first collection of new material since 2005's Grammy-winning Fair and Square
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 or heartbreaking
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 Spectro 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.
