One of America's greatest singers has come down with the caronavirus. John Prine is a national treasure. Please pray for him and everyone else who has the virus.

Thanks just listened to Hello in There
What a huge American voice. What are some of your favorites? Here are a few of mine:
"Blue Umbrella"
"Speed of the Sound of Loneliness"
I loved when he joined up with Bonnie Raitt in "Angel from Montgomery"
My favorite is "Sam Stone", it spoke to me in darker times. "Illegal Smile" is pretty good too.
"Sweet Revenge" and "Common Sense" two of John's works that top my list and never get old listening to.
I love Paradise. Muhlenburg County is right up the road from here.
How does Muhlenburg Co look today.
So many to mention, and agree with the ones already above ... but.......Spanish Pipedream, Please Don't Bury Me, Great Compromise. Paradise is a great one.
Praying and pulling for John!!
Big fan of John Prine, especially Angel from Montgomery (agree that the version with Bonnie Raitt is better; she is awesome, and his voice was less twangy and had more richness and character by then), In Spite of Ourselves, and more recently, Summer's End (if you haven't heard that one, I highly recommend it). Great lyrics, voice, and phrasing.
Iris Dement and John Prine singing In Spite of Ourselves.
Sone of has been reclaimed, but the scars will be there forever. They got the largest shovel machine ever built, and they are still taking coal out of there by the train load.
In Spite of Ourselves is the song I tell my wife represents us best
That's another one of his songs I love
This post brought back a favorite Prine moment which happened for me back in 1987. Hot off a recording deal, Lyle Lovett opened for him at the old Center Stage in Atlanta. Lovett played an extraordinary set with nothing accompanying him but an Irishman on Cello. Prine followed and at the end of the night invited Lovett out for a duet. In the middle of the song Lyle promptly forgot the lyrics to Angel from Montgomery which tickled Prine all the way to the encore.
Prayers up for Mr Prine, he's a national treasure, especially to those of us that appreciate the music of America.
Reclaiming and scars. Connecting to the authenticity of the lyrics.
Rest In Peace Mr. Prine
