Prine's third studio album Sweet Revenge was released in 1973. The album features the fan favorite "Dear Abby."
Forty-five years into a remarkable career that drew effusive praise from Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt, Roger Waters, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and others who would know, Prine was a smiling, shuffling force for good.
