John Prine Top 10 Songs

[@jeffphilips9279]

Still missing him after 3 years

[@chickenjio]

You and me both

[@jeffphilips9279]

Don't go a day without at least one of his songs

Saw John live many times. Twice with Bonnie Raitt. Once with Bonnie and Tom Waits. "Christmas in Prison", "Far from Me", "Mexican Home", "Dear Abby", "Come Back to us Barbara Lewis Hara Krishna Beauregard", "Common Sense", The Accident, Quit Hollering at Me, I Remember Everything, Big Old Goofy World, Some Humans ain't Human, and maybe (in my humble opinion) the saddest song he ever wrote "Donald and Lydia". The entire first album, Common Sense, Diamonds in the Rough, Sweet Revenge (really never recorded a "bad" song. He was generous in his praise of others and I was the fan who never met him, but he wrote the background of my life since I heard the first album self-titled John Prine. A friend and I played it (album) and by the 10th listening we were "singing along with the songs". That was in my twenties and still listening. His death took me by surprise. I recommend his book of lyrics and personal notes and background on some of his songs ""Beyond Words", I like all kinds of music (ironically not country), but Motown, singer songwriters, heavy metal, new wave, alternative and yes, some disco. John Prine is the best songwriter of all time because he wrote for the common everyday man. Joni Mitchell, Lennon/McCartney, so many great songwriters, but John Prine is in a class by himself. This is what he was - a class act. When my husband told me of his death, he brought me a box of Kleenex. He was the family member that I just listened. Hope his music doesn't die. Have introduced it to many people over the years and have to laugh when someone told me recently, he's the new Bob Dylan. Dylan too arrogant. It's a terrible disservice that he wasn't honored for years and years. Used to call the Nashville radio stations and got the reply always "who is John Prine?".

I am a huge fan of JP ( and will actually do a cover of one of his song on april 7: 3 years after he left us. ). we miss him. Thanks for sharing this video. As for the explanation of the songs, each one recieves his lyrics differently, the way one feels ( sorry for my poor english).

[@JayPooler]

i do a bunch of songs by John and Im always uncovering another that I not heard

[@chickenjio]

I’ll have to check the cover out!

[@sumofan5686]

Saw him with Bonnie in the 70’s and then every time he was playing near me. I cried hard when he died.

So Willy and Waylon are watching John play, Waylon asks Willy "so, what do ya think?" and Willy sez "I suppose we could break his arm" True Story That's high praise coming from those two.

[@chickenjio]

Willy and Waylon and the boys. The successful life we are living got us feuding like the hatfields and Mccoys

[@gbereterbide6440]

Thank you.

"How Lucky"........"can One Man Get?" The Moral of this wonderful song?? The Past is the Past so you shouldn't let the bad events in your past life, rule your present life....and your future. "I don't think I remember, hey, how lucky can one man get?" Very, Very Wise words from one of the greatest lyricist who ever wrote a song. He was a gift......

“And water tastes funny when you’re far from your home, but it’s only the thirsty that hunger to roam” truly a genius song writer

[@tailwheel65]

His first album is amazing.

[@chickenjio]

Totally agree it’s what made me fall in love with him

[@ulfstrom9678]

JP would fall asleep listening to you

[@chickenjio]

Thank you!

[@Jane-ij3vy]

Clocks and spoons is one of my favorites. But there are so many that I love

[@bizfix11]

Couldn't listen....more John...less you

[@chickenjio]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@stevesmith152]

[@chickenjio]

[@denniscallahan6005]

San Judas Tadeo. My tribute song to John Prine

[@krisbower7943]

Great artist

[@chickenjio]

Totally agree

[@intuitmusicgroup]

RB Morris wrote That's How Every Empire Falls

[@wesleycastner4860]

❤🎉 on point 💯🤩💯👏

[@billyd2593]

I’m as big a jp fan as there is but every empire falls is a cover of R.B. Morris. JP’s version is my favorite for sure though

[@chickenjio]

Oh thank you for pointing this out. I will have to check out R.B Morris as I have never heard of them

[@jerrylagesse9046]

Sabu is kind of a poke at the entertainment business

[@cindysmith7125]

Sabu the Elephant boy was a story from the late 1920s. I think he was an actor,

[@gregoryknox4444]

Stop rambling and get to the music. And then you don't play?

[@chickenjio]

I’m simply reviewing the songs not playing them but good point on the rambling I’ll get straight into it next time!

[@mannyg9059]

Blah, blah, blah, blah. You're not doing John justice, just stop it, and fade to black.

[@spedoclctr]

Well, I've had enough of this guy's blabbing 😅
