The song comes off of the landmark debut album simply titled "John Prine." The record features a sound that hasn't really been replicated anywhere else. It defies easy categorization, as it sits somewhere between a country, folk, and blues record. Regardless, it captures and perfects the blue collar music of America. The album is equal parts heartfelt, humorous, and tragic, with "Sam Stone" being one of the most tragic parts of the record.
The lyrics here are an absolute gut punch. Prine is so good at packing so much emotion into such simple phrases, and this song captures that masterfully. If I had to summarize Prine's songwriting ability into one lyric, it would be the line that opens the chorus to this song: "There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes."
