He made it his own, and ol’ John would appreciate that very much

[@TheGamingAltar]

I can’t stand folks who say they listen to country but don’t even know who John Prine is. you know who Bob Dylan is cool! Then you oughta know who John Prine is especially if you listen to country music. He was the greatest country song writer that ever was!

[@Linda.holder]

Jamey does this country soul ballad justice

[@JusticeAlways]

A great rendering of a John Prine classic.....😊

[@tomdyke4656]

Beautiful harmonies 😊

[@stevecampbell1308]

a great song done by great singers

[@ronaldedwards1813]

I didn’t know a good ol Alabama boy could bring so much soul to a song about the Kentucky Commonwealth. Then again, Jamey Johnson can make any song his own and make it sound perfect!

[@drjohnson920]

Same as an Alabama and Texas boy I think western Kentucky may have us in terms of backroads

[@Think632]

Very charming performance. She lays out the harmony for him and he doesn't even realize it when he comes back in at first.

[@bizarrebehavior1974]

I'm so happy to hear a John Prine song sung so beautifully by these two amazing musicians.

[@brendamorris7263]

As far as I am concerned, Jamey could sing the McDonald’ s menu and it would be awesome! He is my favorite writer and my favorite artist!

[@guntherv.springborn6123]

Good Song!

[@JayJay-qe5ty]

Jamie Johnson and kelsie done a great job on this song cover by John Prime

[@robwar2288]

Awesome !!!!!! That lady is amazing!

[@douglaslay7487]

Excellent rendition of a classic by one of the best ever! RIP Mr. Prine.

[@evanmoorman3828]

Such a wonderful song with a wonderful message: protecting our local people and our local environment from those who care about neither.

[@nomadjeff1922]

I'm from the area Kelsey grew up (Monkeys Eyebrow, KY) and my dad worked at Paradise for TVA when I was kid. She's the real deal. We moved to west Paducah in 1968 when my dad transferred to another TVA plant (Shawnee). I'm always proud to hear her sing. She reminds so much of many people I grew up with.

[@martylawrence9089]

This is perfect Jamey has respect for this lady

[@sartainja]

Viva the memory and music of John Prine. Hope somewhere in the hereafter that John and Steve are picking, drinking, and writing a song together.

[@fuegofarms253]

I cry like a baby every time I hear this song. Her voice is so beautiful.

[@ChereeDawn]

Wow! I knew Jamie would kill it but Kelsey blew me away !

[@AmyKaribian]

Yes🎼❤️

[@JayJay-gr5we]

[@liamellis5420]

Wow!!!👏👏👏

[@anitamatysik6731]

That was beautiful!

[@maxmcgloin]

I always enjoy Kelsey singing this song, but really liked Jamey Johnson singing with her here. Thanks

[@theoneandonlyravioli2985]

I love kelseys voice. Almost reminds me a twangier lydia loveless (love her voice too).

[@shannonrobertson7705]

Good job...

[@martylawrence9089]

Miss M Cannon makes it perfect

[@MichaelDrake-b7r]

I was born there brother ai was raised there down by the Rochester dam I been listening to John Prine for 50 year's Mister Peabody's coal train done hauled it away. I used to see that shovel about eveeydayml.

[@douglaslay7487]

Just noticed this was one year to the day by two days to the day he died on April 7, 2020.

[@Trumpforprezz28]

I was born and raised and still in western Ky

[@sartainja]

Prine needed to sell T-shirts that say “Paradise, KY Population 0 thanks to the TVA and Peabody Coal Company.”

[@keystonebrotherb]

Man.

[@martylawrence9089]

👍💪

[@johnramsey678]

the camel has arrived

[@TheGamingAltar]

It’s all that Blake Shelton mess and Garth brooks that pushed people like Jamey Johnson, John Prine, Colter Wall, Cody Jinks, Sturgill Simpson, Brandi Carlile, and so many more talented artists out of country music. It’s like Mr. Prine said “Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away”

[@jimmystickley1497]

How did you get a soundboard of this?

[@brodsgarage9077]

This is my favourite song but this guy sings it to slow

[@dustylewis8692]

🐫

[@jrmpup]

Thinking the same thing...lol

[@marleyorange]

didn't do much for me. Great song though

[@jamescrisp7951]

Great song but average version. Slowed down way too much for my taste.

[@Pennshitz]

I like Prine’s better.

[@Krispy1011]

Too slow

[@stevecafiero2]

My wife and I saw JP in New York recently. Good show until he called the President of the United States an as#$@*e! Was shocked at this low class comment. Sent him a respectful email explaining that, but he wasn’t man enough to respond. DEPLORABLES and people of opposing political opinions ARE NOT WELCOME AT JOHN PRINE CONCERTS!

[@lydiadrummond7956]

damn sick that these guys do that. the media has even smart people fooled.

[@GD419jasons]

They should avoid the topic altogether , like Elvis did.

[@chuckturner6984]

I put John and Sturgill in the same boat. I'll listen as long as they are singing. When they start talking, i tune them out or turn them off.

[@TheGhost5600]

Why do performers always have to do that? Fans come to hear the musical genius of John and then he turns around and insults them.

[@billeddy4357]

Do you think that " Paradise " is a happy song , or a celebration of coal mining ? To me it seems like a very sad song about corporate greed and environmental degradation . Do you think that Patty Loveless` song , " You`ll Never get out of Harlan Alive " is a happy song about coal mining . To me , it seems to be a song about how coal miners never win , since they often get injured , sick or killed . Prine is a folk singer . They sing protest songs about important stuff , including politics . Have you ever heard Iris Diment ? That kind of singer gets informed , and has strong political views . You have to expect that they will express their views . if you don`t like those views , you probably don`t like them . Stop listening to them . You will be happier and so will they .

[@randylong8156]

Sorry but not as good as John

[@Country-Side-Drive]

Duh

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Your comment is irrelevant my friend

[@jamesdjesse]

her voice is amazing...his...not so much

[@featheredcoyote5477]

Well you fall within the minority with that opinion.

[@missmymountain]

Really a pretty poor attempt at this song. He's the epitome of a great songwriter that shouldn't sing or play in public.

[@bronxcheer1484]

Too slow
