“Please Don't Bury Me” by John Prine

John Prine wrote "Please Don't Bury Me", words and music, for Sweet Revenge, the third album from the American country and folk singer-songwriter, released in 1973 with Arif Mardin producing. It was a full-band record, made mostly at Quadraphonic Sound Studios in Nashville, and the players on this track show it: Prine, Steve Goodman and John Christopher on acoustic guitars, Dave Prine on resonator guitar, Reggie Young on electric guitar, Mike Leech on bass and Kenny Malone on drums, with Raun MacKinnon singing alongside Prine and Steve Ham recording.

His biographer Eddie Huffman noted how much Prine had grown as a singer and recording artist in the couple of years before this album, and how comfortably he now sat inside a band.
