"Bruised Orange" is an album by John Prine released in 1978.

Despite some brilliant songs, Prine’s followup albums to his stunning debut were uneven until this, his fifth, produced by his friend Steve Goodman. Here, Prine’s always finely-tuned sense of absurdity once again collides with his ability to depict pain sympathetically for a whole album, typified by “That’s the Way That the World Goes ‘Round,” a neat statement of his philosophy, and “Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Alone,” perhaps the best depiction ever written of life on the road in the entertainment business.
