The Late John Prine In A Fun 1986 Interview

#JohnPrine #JohnPrineInterview #JohnPrineLive

The fun inside John Prine’s soul is evident in this 1986 interview from The Today Show. And Citizen Abels provides the prelude question – what was it about the beloved Mr. Prine that endeared him to his fans in the special way they continue to pour the love on his memory. The Citizen offers the postulate – maybe John Prine could stand in other people’s shoes and feel their pain and know their joy.

Sounds right. Doesn’t it?

Wikipedia describes John Prine at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Prine as follows:

John Edward Prine (October 10, 1946 – April 7, 2020) was an American country folk singer-songwriter. He was active as a composer, recording artist, live performer, and occasional actor from the early 1970s until his death, and was known for an often humorous style of original music that has elements of protest and social commentary.

Born and raised in Maywood, Illinois, Prine learned to play the guitar at the age of 14. He attended classes at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. After serving in West Germany with the U.S. Army, he returned to Chicago in the late 1960s, where he worked as a mailman, writing and singing songs first as a hobby, and then becoming a club performer.

A member of Chicago's folk revival, Prine credited film critic Roger Ebert and singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson with discovering him, resulting in the production of Prine's eponymous debut album with Atlantic Records in 1971. The acclaim earned by this LP led Prine to focus on his musical career, and he recorded three more albums for Atlantic. He then signed with Asylum Records, where he recorded an additional three albums. In 1981, he co-founded Oh Boy Records, an independent record label with which he would release most of his subsequent albums.

Widely cited as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation, Prine was known for humorous lyrics about love, life, and current events, as well as serious songs with social commentary and songs that recollect melancholy tales from his life. In 2020, he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
