Oh Boy Records is proud to announce the upcoming reissue of John Prine's Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings, arriving on vinyl for the first time on September 12, 2025, in celebration of the album's 30th anniversary. A Grammy-nominated fan favorite, Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings is widely cherished for its warmth, wit, and depth, and this new edition offers fans an even closer look at one of the most joyful and creatively fertile periods in Prine's storied career.
Originally released in 1995, Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings followed Prine's Grammy-winning comeback album The Missing Years and further cemented his legacy as one of America's greatest songwriters. Produced by Howie Epstein of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the album captured Prine at a personal and artistic high, filled with the joy of new love, fatherhood, and unshakable creative chemistry.
Backed by an all-star ensemble including Heartbreakers pianist Benmont Tench and guest vocals from Carlene Carter and Marianne Faithfull, Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings is a vibrant showcase of Prine's unmatched lyrical gifts. The album flows effortlessly from the wry contentment of "Ain't Hurtin' Nobody" to the epic storytelling of "Lake Marie," a song Bob Dylan once cited as one of his favorites.
With its blend of heartfelt ballads, surreal narratives, and playful humor, Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings remains one of Prine's most expansive and beloved works. At 14 tracks and nearly an hour in length, it captures the richness of the midlife experience—honest, relaxed, and fully alive. Thirty years on, this reissue offers a fresh invitation to revisit an album that continues to comfort, surprise, and inspire.
