Kenny Vaughan on John Prine, Townes Van Zandt and The Great Credibility Scare

[@otisgibbs]

Imagine living a life so filled with cool and interesting moments that you don't remember if you've ever played with John Prine. That's why we love Kenny.

[@pjteahan6962]

John Prine had the Irish guitar player in the eighties band line up called Philip Donnelly , known here in Ireland as the Clontarf Cowboy. He used to have a red strat .

@@pjteahan6962 Tell us more, man. lol

[@janhensley3617]

I agree with you Otis 💯

[@kyleboehner535]

Kenny stories are always the best thing for the Mondays

[@ClintonCaraway]

Kenny is my favorite guest on a channel full of amazing people. He just seems like a guy who would give you a ride home after a show!!

[@brianmobley1720]

The interviews with Kenny are the Best!! 🐿️😎🐿️

[@OldHenryLee]

Mr. Kenny 'Fly On The Walls Of Music History' Vaughn 🤠 Top notch!!

[@chrisfriedrich6830]

Absolutely!

[@randydueck889]

Kenny is a great story teller - he is very positive and has kind (very kind) and insightful things to say about other artists. I'm impressed.

[@jasonstacy5587]

What an amazing life Kenny is living.

[@sayeager5559]

Man you got that right. Hes seen it all it sounds like. And just the coolest fella.

[@robbie5984]

Aren’t we spoiled. KV dropping some good old country music knowledge on us. Thank you!

[@guitardog]

Love cousin Kenny! Got to see him with Marty Saturday night. What a show! Man, that purple sparkly suit and that blue cowboy hat, those boys sure put on the ritz. 🤠 Thanks, Otis!

[@OldHenryLee]

Thanks a ton Mr. Otis. ... Another great interview. Entertaining & informative - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🤔 Kenny Vaughn might actually be my favorite outta your consistent guests. ... Great stuff all around 🤠

[@travisthornton1792]

This was one of his best! Thanks to both Kenny and Otis

[@alext.]

The last coupla minutes, of when Townes is telling Marty Stuart how he's figured it all out, lol. He just drives to Kansas City and plays a show. So perfect! I think I hear Otis say, "Life in a nutshell." Is there any better snapshot of the reality those guys lived? Priceless stuff, thanks to Otis getting it to us.

[@richardsypniewski9279]

Kenny & Marty are true kindred spirits.Both great players AND storytellers.🎸👍✌️

[@davidmckean955]

The return of Kenny has made this week really great.

[@MoustacheRob]

Thank you both,I can listen in awe with anything that Kenny Vaughn says.

[@janhensley3617]

Thank you Otis! ❤️ RIP JOHN PRINE. Forever missed. John Prine will never be forgotten! What a talent! Love you all and the sweet, kind Steve Goodman. Such dear men. ❤

[@scottworsham]

Kenny Vaughn for President !

[@clydehannah1056]

I Dig your channel Mr Gibbs and Really Dig your Guitar episodes but the interviews with Kenny are Just Great!

[@dianeswafford]

Jason Wilbur is also an excellent guitarist who accompanied John Prine for many years. Jason is also an exceptional singer/songwriter on his own. Miss John Prine 😢RIP 😇

[@StringsandWings]

you have one of the most entertaining, insightful and just plain enjoyable channels in this cesspool. I think you missed your calling as a documentarian. Or have you?? Thanks again Otis.

[@toddhawk9921]

You don’t hear the O Kanes mentioned very often. I always enjoyed them. Saw them with Jerry Clower and George Jones at a state fair show years ago.

[@tinman8518]

Kenny's laugh always makes my day. Thanks Otis!! 8:03.

[@keithwood574]

Otis, once again, your interviews are excellent!!!

[@bglrj]

When I die I'm leaving everything to Kenny Vaughn

[@catheryndenton1766]

😂

[@user-rl9mn6cy9s]

Love Kenny Vaughan!!

[@TheOldYellers]

Great stories about legendary folk

[@jammininthepast]

Thanks...love hearing from KV. You're appreciated brother.

[@Caperhere]

Love Kenny stories. Thank you both.

[@spooley]

Love Kenny stories. Bet 5-1 the Prine CMT show was the show he did Speed of Loneliness. He had Phil on lead making a beautiful Hawaiian sound bending the strings and a drummer using bongo set to keep time. Great performance as always.

[@glennjarrett2223]

I had the please of meeting Kenny before a show in Jacksonville a couple years ago such a great guy.

[@duncanfrere2656]

There's a reason Kenny got to stay after hours at the Bluebird... he's a world class player and raconteur like the rest of those guys hanging out and yakking. Imagine the repartee...!!

[@mairianncullen8753]

He is - but note that he said, in that company, he sat quiet and listened. That's Kenny Vaughan!

[@jeffsmith1945]

You guys are making my day! Thanks 😊

[@julesotis13]

everyone blessed with seeing prine live after tree of forgiveness came out (adding like Laaaaavon Helm Prine was yet enoguh example of someone battling cancer told he may never be able to play sing again nor live as long as they did) got the memorable life affirming amazing delight of seeing that prine dance off stage to lake marie ooooooooooh baby we gotta go nooooow even babies like to chaaaa chaaaa top of the world maaaa.... described in stories and song so well by rev todd snider.....amazing! thanks brother otis kenny priners - SJOCR

[@steveroche8584]

Through your interviews with Kenny, I've come to learn that he's one coolest, laidback, knowledgeable and talented guys around. What a great hang he'd be. I think the Superlatives are in town tomorrow. Unfortunately

[@backdoorarts5243]

As a fan of everyone spoken about in this video I am dumbfounded that I've never heard of, or at least not remembered the phrase, "The Great Credibility Scare". Kenny is always great. As are you, Otis.

[@billbaum1706]

Wondering what that means

[@JeffreyOConnell-g4x]

He's being facetious about a brief moment in time when the best artists were also the most popular.@@billbaum1706

[@citizenswain]

Oh Kenny. He's so adorbs.

[@jcmacmusic]

Fantastic thank you ❤

[@julesotis13]

i love prine listening while steve earle runs his mouth lol

[@photoebj]

The New Year’s Eve show was JP’s last show in the US. His last ever was in Paris the following February. 😊 Nitpicking, I know…

[@JohnLeePedimore]

Kenny played on Sleepy LaBeef's last album too.

[@rivett310]

One Cool Cat. I remember seeing KV at Audrey Auld’s CD release in Nashville for her Tonk CD. My thoughts were wow, Aud nabbed that brilliant guitarist. Go Audrey. 🎵❤️🦋🎶

[@johnglenn30csardas]

Apropos of the new refrigerator story, the story goes that Paul McCartney came over to John Lennon’s house and said, “ok John, let’s write a swimming pool.”

[@sevenmileridgeband]

Awesome!!!!

[@joeshmoe1739]

Seems like Kenny is a really cool cat. Me and that dude could be friends for sure.

[@anthonymcgill8035]

Kenny Vaughan, the most interesting man in the world…

[@brettauten7175]

Always down for KV stories

[@bradc32]

"i'm not drunk i'm just drinkin"

[@brandonmullins7579]

Great stories, but that wasn’t John’s last show. His last show was in Paris

[@hanscatokristiansen9586]

Thats right! And in Oslo Norway before Paris. I was there. Great consert.

[@jimbanda]

Probably Philip Donnelly was playing with JP at that time while Rachel was on Bass

[@julesotis13]

dave jakes played with him for 25 years and jason wilbur was with him for man years too...i do like some of the rachel peer what fiona desricbes as when john was trying to be more rock n roll era......cuz i love all prine....but hard to argue the more mellow raw style fit him best.....but prine was always great.....

[@arlingtonhynes]

Thirty years ago? Like Nirvana, you mean?

[@Bill-cv1xu]

[@rustybeltway2373]

If you go see Marty, him and the boys are at a table in the lobby shaking hands and signing cd's. I got to meet Marty & Connie and Kenny et al. Kenny is class, all the way. He's just like you see here.
