[A] One of the [G] most respected and influential songwriters of the late 20th and early 21st
century has just died.
John Prine, a two-time Grammy winner and Nashville songwriter hall of famer, died on April 7th
at the age of 73 after contracting COVID-19.
His death will surely reverberate across Nashville in the coming days, weeks, and months.
He leaves behind a deep catalog of beautiful folk and country lyrics, including several
hit songs you may have not even known came from his pen.
I'm Billy Dukes with Taste of Country and you'll find a link to 20 of our favorites
in the description and in the link in the corner.
How will you remember John Prine?
Be a part of the conversation in the comments section.
Angel from Montgomery, a song Prine wrote and recorded, but Bonnie Raitt made famous,
maybe Prine's most famous work.
The well-covered song is one Raitt says means more to her body of work than any other song
and it's certainly among his most memorable contributions.
Songs like Sam Stone and Your Flag to Cal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore were social
statements while others were a bit more pithy.
Prine co-wrote You Never Even Called Me By My Name and later admitted he didn't think
much of it until he heard how Steve Goodman had finished it.
David Allen Coe would make the song a top 10 country hit in 1975.
Along with Sam Stone and Angel, Paradise and Illegal Smile are two more songs from Prine's
self-titled 1971 debut album that are on the must-listen list.
Famously, Kris Kristofferson discovered Prine in Chicago and wrote in that album's liner
notes that the Illinois native was 24 years old but writes like he's 220.
His authentic lyrics were remarkably empathetic and his characters lived well outside his
own perspective, yet you never doubted that he knew of what he wrote.
Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and later contemporaries like Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell were
all fans of Prine's 50-year, 18-album catalog.
So too was Miranda Lambert, who recorded That's The Way The World Goes Round on her 2009 Revolution
album and George Strait, who took I Just Wanna Dance With You to number one in 1998.
Don Williams' Love Is On A Roll from 1983 is one more number one [Dm] hit for Prine, an artist
who never scored one of his own and never even had what you would call a commercially
successful album until his final bow, The Tree of Forgiveness.
This 2018 project was a top five seller on Billboard and from there he'd enjoy a career
resurgence that was capped by a 2020 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Prine's wife shared that he'd caught COVID-19 in late March 2020.
He leaves behind a wife and two sons.
