John Prine Instagram – John found the artwork for In Spite of Ourselves in a bookstore prior to knowing who the iconic photographer @elliotterwitt was, only to find out, John was mutually friends with the renowned photographer’s daughter.
Years later, John used another photograph from the beloved photographer for the For Better or Worse artwork.
“After I recorded the tracks, I went to the library and went to the photography section and started lookin’ for pictures of couples, and I just grabbed a whole stack of ’em. I don’t know one photographer from the other, by the way, but I love black and white photography and I saw an Elliot Erwitt book. And most of the things in the book, I noticed that it was always two people, so everything he was doin’ was in couples. There was the back of two old cars leanin’ in toward each other, that was originally gonna be the cover but then I found that one lookin’ like they were applyin’ for a marriage license and the old couple behind ’em.”
