Saw him several years ago, went to see Cowboy JUnkies (who opened for him) but he was amazing.

Yeah, that sad to hear. With his age and health issues.


Also, i just read that Marianne Faithful has it as well.

I hope they pull through.

His wife reported that he is in stable condotion.

rest in peace, John Prine

RIP John Prine. May you join the lost music greats in Heaven.

So many musicians are paying their respects and citing JP as a major influence as a songwriter.



Angel From Montgomery

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Chorus:
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

Repeat Chorus:

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.
