John Prine: Aimless Love (LP)
Eighth studio album reissued on vinyl LP!
John Prine's 1984 album Aimless Love was his first release on his own record label, Oh Boy Records. Prine and his longtime manager Al Bunetta formed Oh Boy Records in an effort to take control of his own music. In a 1985 interview with Bobby Bare on The Nashville Network, Prine explained that he was inspired by Steve Goodman's modest success with Red Pajamas Records to start his own label, calling it Oh Boy because the term is appropriate for both good and bad situations. "There's no middle man, there's no little dark-skinned guy in Cleveland who gets the money from the people who want the music," Prine told Bare, "and then he takes most of it, twirls his mustache, and then sends me twelve cents."
Aimless Love is Prine's first album of original material since Storm Windows in 1980, and in the years leading up to its release, he had settled in Nashville and co-written songs for other artists, including the number-one country hit "Love Is On a Roll" by Don Williams. Several of Prine's collaborators from that period, such as Bobby Braddock and Donnie Fritts, were included on Aimless Love.
According to Great Days: The John Prine Anthology, published in 1993, "Aimless Love was finally released in 1984, recording hampered by tight finances (it was recorded in several Nashville studios, reportedly during demo sessions), the mechanics of starting Prine's own independent label, Oh Boy (the first release was a 1982 Christmas single, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus' and Prine's usual slow approach to making records."

In Chicago, John Prine befriended folkie Steve Goodman, who played one of Prine's songs at a show attended by Kris Kristofferson. Blown away by the song, Kristofferson and his unlikely pal, Paul Anka, went to see Prine at the Earl in Chicago. "The club had closed, but the door was open,” Prine said."The chairs were turned up on the tables, and I was waiting around to get paid.”When Kristofferson and Anka arrived, Prine pulled his guitar out of the case and ran down a few songs. Kristofferson invited Prine and Goodman to perform with him in New York. Atlantic's Jerry Wexler was in the audience. "The next day, I signed a record contract,” Prine said. "It was just that quick.”Anka became his first manager.
Angel from Montgomery was one of thirteen varied, consequential, and above all evocative songs on Prine's first album. It has been covered by Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, and many others, most of them women. Talking to Paul Zollo, Prine said that the song was almost a cowrite with another Chicago folkie, Eddie Holstein. One afternoon, they tried to write a song together, and Eddie suggested a song about an older person. Prine said he'd already done that with Hello In There.Then he said, "How about a song about a middle-aged woman who feels older than she is.”Holstein laughed it off, but Prine stuck with it. "I went home. I had this real vivid image of a woman standing over dish water with soap on her hands, walking away from it all. I let it pour out of that character's heart.She just wanted an angel to come to take her away from all this." Why Montgomery? Because everyone knows Hank Williams was from there. Elaborating later, Prine said, he likes to write from the point of view of characters other than himself. Male fiction writers create female characters, so songwriters should have the same freedom. "There's no gender when it comes to being a writer,” he said.
