John Prine & Kurt Vile "How Lucky" Gland Ole Opry New Years 2020

[@godfreyzilla8608]

This past Saturday my daughter drove us to the wake of a cousin. He was only 65 but had a long illness and suffered a lot. I am not well and could barely walk, stand or kneel at his casket but I had to be there to say goodbye. Today my daughter was driving me home from cardiac rehab. This song, one of my Prine favorites, came on the radio. I had to look away thinking about my cousin and John so she wouldn't see the tears but she knew they were there. She turned the volume up a bit so I could hear the song above the outside noise. We had a long "moment" in silence as we drove home. No words were said nor needed. That's how John Prine touches people's souls.

[@davidprovance6609]

Sorry about your cousin and good karma to you. I'm 66m and really just started listening to him after he died. I knew Paradise from college but that was about it. I just retired and am finishing a cabin on the lake. However, I will be having both hips replaced this year. It makes you feel old, but I I have a lot of time to catch up on his music and every single song hits home. The man is truly a savior.

I bought a record in High School, John Prine sitting on a stack of hay. Loved his music ever since. How Lucky am I.

[@garyirwin2093]

Watching “Dog” on the plane, I said to myself “I think I hear John Prine”. Beautiful

[@BamaGirl1212]

I just watched Dog and heard the song. I had heard it before but had to hear it again.

[@ceciliamyers5434]

Just saw "Dog" tonight! Soundtrack was great, especially this one❣

[@sequoyahkearns8505]

What brilliance. How lucky can one man get to have lived in the time of John Prine?

[@shelly4012]

How can anyone not love this? Pure joy.

[@grandmav6002]

I agree I just found this song and I love

[@numalallemand1032]

Don't know!

[@natet5959]

I had never heard of Kurt Vile until I stumbled on this duet. He's has an interesting style. Great guitar player.

[@llaboe]

John was TRULY a national treasure. He is so so missed by myself and so many others. :(

[@jeremyreagan9085]

So good having an illegal smile thank John you been with me for 25 years and to steal a line "I got no hate. I got no pride i got so much love that i cannot hide". To my fellow songwriters keep writing even if no one hears the songs.

[@eeyuhn8038]

Thank you. I needed to hear that today. All the best

[@jeremyreagan9085]

@@eeyuhn8038 Your very welcome i am unknown and I could care less. I write songs because I have a passion for music and let me say this some of the best songs I ever heard are from artists who no ever heard of like Sneaky Pete of East Texas. Best slide and finger style guitarist i ever heard or met.

[@marissathomas5483]

[@maryolmstead3183]

This song makes me tear up because the words are so ironic to the fact that he passed away from Coronavirus in the spring of 2020.

[@jordanpowell9504]

I miss John so much.

[@TD-np6ze]

Thank you, Kurt, for your incredible talent and tribute to John Prine!

[@disneydad4005]

God bless John, and bless Kurt

[@MagicSwordFilms]

What a beautiful melody. We’re lucky to have gotten this brilliant duet

[@josevillarreal9920]

Man this can bring me to tears.

[@davidprovance6609]

Can? I think I cry on every song.

[@leokreimer6492]

Covid-19 takes the good ones. Kurt makes them live for ever,

[@ToddAndelin]

Damn how lucky am I to hear this amazing song from such talent...

[@TheManOnTheRail]

Met both these wonderful gentlemen and both gracious to speak with.

[@k4nful]

It will never happen again. But we never forget it. R.I.P

[@witness2theinsanity757]

Miss you John, RIP. Watching this Jan 1st 2021. Hope his kind, calm, wise words lead us to peace This Year.

[@zHumanfactor]

What a fantastic combo.

[@artemabashev2014]

Not even a small detune can spoil this beautiful union.

[@50Grassy]

John Prine understood pure human nature that we all have our little short comings and should enjoy or at least appreciate it.

[@margadam6358]

Stumbled upon this from "This is Us" netflix series

[@ReallyImWorking]

I was there. My family and I drove down from Michigan for the show. One of the best things we've ever done. God bless you, John, we sure will miss you!

[@mhm8222]

I was always a John Prine fan then i saw Kurt Vile at the Beale St festival 2weeks ago..then i found this!!

[@jaspernewcomb5656]

There's a candle that burns right through the darkness it shines so bright to light my way back home it caught my eye and filled my soul with music it was John Prine and a heart felt melody... I love you John Prine!

[@nikimccrossan9497]

Such a simple song but so catchy and memorable. Luv it.

[@scruffyp9480]

Coolest boomer and millennial duet ever. Great stuff.

[@nickparsons337]

It is great for sure; but Kurt's no millennial.

[@scruffyp9480]

@@nickparsons337 wow I thought he was in his twenties

[@nickparsons337]

@@scruffyp9480 Yeah, some people just age really really well. I was definitely surprised to find out that we're almost the same age; but then I don't look my age either.

[@tricias6621]

early 40’s I think... but yea, he looks younger

[@zzzzz78759]

John never really seemed to care who was singing with him, as long as they were singing with him. He just wanted to play his music and if someone was playing with him, that was a bonus.

[@MateoVillena-g8i]

What a pair, my god!!!

[@seltic13]

I love music these days

[@murphyslaw00]

What a beautiful man. RIP John.

[@davemcbroom695]

My favorite version. God is now learning how to write a song. RIP John.

[@jackandpiper]

A rising star and a prodigy ❤️

[@ToddAndelin]

these two really are in sync w each other... beautiful

[@benedettodenti9731]

moving song. R.I.P. JOHN. From Italy

heard this song on my spotify and i knew it was gold.... listened to it over and over.... love these guys..

[@MrJohnr47]

Good song to leave us with. Miss you my friend

[@tomf429]

JP once said that something as simple as his fan belt breaking at a hotdog stand could be the difference between a great novel and an insignificant song. That's the thing about John Prine. He makes a simple statements that provoke very deep thoughts. With most highly-educated scholars, it's just the opposite.

[@raymondlinde1966]

Prachtig nummer! Ook te horen in de film Dog (2022)

[@MrWalla27190]

En France des personne apprécie cette balade musicale

[@RareAngonDevan]

Nice music performance 👍

I must have something in my eye.

[@petehicks4866]

Next to my father John is responsible for a large portion of the wisdom that I possess.

[@74bobolink]

I wonder if John looked up Steve Goodman and did this song together in Heaven.

[@tricias6621]

who is the demon from hell who hit the down thumb? smh.

I bet they don’t eat the marshmallows in lucky charms

What is the title of this song?

[@cleanyourears]

How lucky Kurt Vile John Prine

[@mireilledischer3380]

Corona virus took John Prine and left the former Scrotus. If there is a God, what the pluck was he thinking ?

[@stephengordon808]

JP mistakes on the guitar were even beautiful.

[@blbseauxmuchjake3877]

[@davidmatthews3131]

Covid took John Prine about the same time it left us Donald Trump. Proof that if there is a God he's got a very dark sense of humour.

[@brianbrown8763]

COVID took John slightly after Tony released it. To remove Trump !! Do your homework & prove me wrong..
