In Spite of Ourselves - John Prine / Iris Dement Cover

In celebration of John Prine's birthday, my buddy Kristina Murray and I sat down on my porch and sang us a song. Kristina played Iris and I played John.

Best tribute I've heard yet. John was a dear friend I hadn't yet met and his passing was so sad for so many. This is beautiful. Thank you! RIP John.

[@KorbyLenker]

I've loved his music for so long now. Thank you for your kind words Abigail and yes, rest in peace to a songwriting master and a beautiful soul.
