My favorite John Prine song. Covered by a lot of people, including Johnny Cash and The Everly Brothers (who were from Muhlenberg Country) My favorite version, and the one I first heard, is Jim and Jessie's Bluegrass cover.

Lot of people talking about this guy on Facebook this morning. Got to confess: I've never heard of him.

RIP, I can remember many a day in my misspent youth driving across the desert at 100mph+ listening to his music.

I think some of his biggest fans were other musicians.

An amazing talent has sadly left us. The article references one of my favourite songs a collaboration with Iris Dement.

Edit: Oops just noticed you already posted it Stubbs.

"Sam Stone" and "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore" were two of his classics.

They draw blanks with me. Then again, what was his style? If it were folk or CW, I've never heard him.

He was a great story teller in his songs. True Americana. He came along in the early '70s with the influx of singer / songwriter performers. He was well respected by his peers and his influence was far reaching. RIP Mr. Prine

"Dear Abby" was probably my personal favorite:
