John Prine Plays Live, Discusses His Life And Songs

#JohnPrine #interview #songwriting

The late John Prine discusses his music, life, and inspirations with U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser in an interview recorded March 9, 2005 in which he also plays many of his most popular songs. Born in 1946, the son of a tool and die maker, Prine enjoyed a childhood imbued with classic American values and traditions that would later be incorporated intohis songs. Following military service in Germany and a job with the U.S. Postal Service, Prine made his public debut at an "open mic" session at a local bar, whose owner promptly hired him.

After Kris Kristofferson heard Prine perform at the venerable Earl of Old Town music club in Chicago, he assisted in Prine's career move from local singer-songwriter to a national recording artist, who has won praise from critics around the country. After moving to Nashville in the early 1980s, Prine formed Oh Boy records with his longtime manager Al Bunetta and associate Dan Einstein. Prine recorded several Grammy-nominated albums with Oh Boy, and won a Grammy for his 1991 album, "The Missing Years," which featured appearances by Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty.
