[@jimvickers381]

Listened to a lot of Jesse's songs. Now hearing cover Prines songs. Perfect. Its exactly who he reminds me of. I hope his star keeps rising. He is damn good.

[@nicholasesposito2416]

My father passed away this year. This was the song that I showed him to get him obsessed with Prine near the end of his life. When you sing it I can almost here him snoring on the couch. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[@nicholasesposito2416]

@Toadonthetable thank you for the kind words, pal. With enough love and music we can push through the bullshit! Keep on fighting

Oh! One of my favorite songs of John Prine!!!! Thanks so much,!!

[@kittenfuud]

Beautiful rendition. John Prine is smiling down. ❤

[@reflexflow9088]

This is Beautiful, the new voice of a generation singing a legend one of the best there has ever been from the past! The comparisons are hard not to see! (If you haven't, please Lisson to Jesses original songs, amazing!)

[@Mason_N.]

"How the hell can a person Go to work in the mornin' And come home in the evenin' And have nothin' to say." Ain't that a lot of us right now. Man, John Prine could write some heavy hitters. RIP to a Legend.

In another timeline we are hearing this not on youtube, but on the radio and it's not so hard to get by ...

so real

[@DaphneMelvin]

Yep, his music takes me back to a better time not too long ago. My friends all laying on the pier under the warm Alabama sun wearing our cutoff jeans and tank tops listening to the Katydids sing. Talking about better days to come, none of us knowing we were in our best days in that very moment! Great music!

This song makes me cry Every Single Time, no matter who plays it.

I love John Prine. You do him justice. Thank you.

[@zacharykai6317]

i think this is one of the best songs ever written. amazing rendition

[@alanwhite9142]

Excellent cover of John Prine’s classic. This young fellow is right up there with John, Todd Snider, Dylan, and the other folksinger/songwriters.

[@midwestphishman]

Big Todd Snider fan!!!!

[@NoIgnrnc]

Every rare now & then, an artist comes along, covers a song...and blows away the original. This is definitely one of those times.

[@Bromeego]

I bet the trees and the plants around you will treasure your great sounds when you play near them for many many years.

[@musicisbrilliant]

This boy has enough soul to just about make up for the worlds lack of soul today. So inspiring. Thanks for the songs, Jesse! I watch every single one.

[@some_other_guy]

Sing a song badly please. Give use bloopers, give us the off key. Because you just give us gold, your original songs are killer, you cover stuff with heart. I wish i was as half as good at anything in life as you are at performing. Thank you for sharing.

[@karentatom5411]

John Prine is smiling from the cosmos

[@calltainnfearna4699]

Indeed he is....and he's proud to hear Jesse play his music. I know I am.

[@FlowerPowerWV]

I got to see Bonnie Raitt and John Prine sing this together, live, in the early 90s. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for reminding me. Well done!

[@lindavasa7519]

Saw Prine many years ago in the 70’s in philadelphia. Then again in 2010 at bonnaroo when the whole audience sang to all of his songs. There were multiple generations there and everyone knew his songs. Was so lucky to have been there and will never forget the chills I got from hearing him sing. What a wonderful tribute to John Prine… thank you Jesse

[@tom-four]

Was blessed enough to get a chance to see him play Roo 2019; truly one of, if not the most, special shows I’ve ever been to. The energy in that tent was palpable and you felt it everywhere from the corners of your mouth to the lump in your throat. Me and my two buddies were an absolute crying wreck through Hello In There -> In Spite Of Ourselves -> Summer’s End. Bonnaroo 2019 was not only the best Bonnaroo I’ve ever been to, I’d venture to say it was the best week I’ve ever had period. Absolutely unrepeatable. The only thing better might have been Bonnaroo 2020 😭

[@lectrickwall4479]

Really enjoy what you do. Inspiring me to start writing some things that I've saved & bottled up for a long time now. Thank you so much. Keep it how it is.

[@wyleejensen3646]

[@kylejohnson6174]

One of the best performances of this song ever.

[@jimbrouwer_Music]

Jesse you don’t realise how much your music will echo in eternity and help humanity get better. Thank you so much for being so brave to write what you wrote so far.

[@WALT_MESSLE62]

Best John Prine cover ever! You are so good man. You made my day. I Got to know you via social media. I am deeply impressed of the political conscience you express in your protest songs also. 'War Isn't Murder' and 'United Health' are songs Woody Guthrie most certainly would be proud of. Keep doing the good work. Greetz from Belgium

[@carlosgaspar8447]

come on, it was bonnie raitt that made it a hit; even the movie version of "into the wild" is comparable to this.

[@MissyQ12345]

No, this is a Bonnie Rait song. First time I’ve heard Jesse do a cover. Now this is going to be in my head all day! I agree with everything else you said. Greetz from New Mexico, USA.

[@dustymason460]

@@MissyQ12345 Songwriter, John Prine, was a national treasure. Bonnie Raitt, also a national treasure, has written a few songs but her real talent is as an interpreter of other people's work. I like both of their versions a lot, but I do lean John Prine.

[@MissyQ12345]

@@dustymason460 I looked for and listened to John Prine do this song. I like Jesse’s a little better. I do think it may be that the quality of the sound is not as good on the Prine video. Still a great song no matter who sings it!

I had heard this song once long ago, so after I heard this I went to look it up. Jessie this is even more beautiful than the original.

My dad got into john prine around the time he was starting to recover from his liver transplant. He like to play this song on guitar, but he always sounded sad when he sang. It originally turned me off of the song, but when you sing it, im starting to really appreciate the way my dad played it and youre inspiring me to learn it so i can play it with him when i see him again. Thanks jesse
