Sturgill Simpson and John Prine Perform "Paradise" (Mr. Peabody's Coal Train) | GRAMMYs

[@MrJc7998]

Rest easy John prine. It’ll be a different world without this guy, for real. Rest easy man.

[@philipsmith9305]

He wrote all down as the progress of man. Twainesque humor wit, the heart and soul of Hemingway, throw in Dylan's open cowboy chords to boot. RIP John Prine.

[@ryanoneal8480]

Don't worry he's smoking that 9 mile long cigarette as we speak

[@MrJc7998]

@@ryanoneal8480 very well put.

[@luisvieira6598]

You can see the respect that Strurgill has for John by the way he accompanies him.

[@kab12]

stayed out of the spotlight. Sad to see john pass

[@CPD0123a]

Which is a direct departure from how John normally performed the song. He was always about using it to promote younger artists and give them a push.

[@stevenwhite7897]

Indeed

[@dimensionalbleedthrough2040]

Sturgill is a cool dude

[@Quinn37]

Prine is just in a tier by himself. Special, special artist. He is missed, but his body of work is still relevant.

[@redshadlizard]

John was a national treasure. This has broken many hearts. His music will live on forever.

[@jimmie200]

I was lucky enough to see John Prine and his best friend Steve Goodman in Austin, Texas, at Armadillo World in 1973. Just the two of them standing on the stage with their acoustic guitars. Everyone loved them. Then I saw him with John Lee Hooker, Doctor John and John Hammond Jr. in a small theater in Miami. Then another time in a beautiful, new event center Fort Lauderdale where I am from. The acoustics were beautiful. Just by himself up on the stage making everybody laugh and cry. I have been blessed. I swear I become a crybaby every time I listen to him.

[@horsehide3039]

jimmie200 Aw, I hear you brother. His songs are real special, and you got to see him. I am a little jealous, haha.

[@davidking6421]

That's respect. Sturgill could outsing John at this point but it never crosses his mind. That shoes class

[@Ben-toven]

He could have played an over the top guitar part too. It looks like He called someone out of the audience that knows the song and can play the chords. Hopefully Sturgil will keep making great music and fill his shoes for our kids to have an old guy that's still cool

[@eanandbarrettable]

Quite possibly the greatest songwriter that has ever lived

[@BarbellRoy]

Kristofferson & Prine were much, MUCH better!

[@charlotte50224]

@Patrick McKenna Cash hardly wrote anything! He did others' songs, such as Kris Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down", and Prine's "Sam Stone".... But Prine, and Kristofferson were right up there, by comparison to Dylan. All amazing talents as song writers!

[@spudwickthrockmorton2112]

Hank Sr is up there too

[@patrhea6165]

I will forever love John Prine and may God bless the story tellers.

[@saylemilne7692]

Heart is cracked open on learning of his passing. One of the greats. Hope you Fish and Whistle in Heaven.

[@b.r.sanborn6416]

First heard him 40 years ago...learned guitar to play his songs..still play his songs today. .love that sleepy eyed boy.

[@direwolf8124]

I grew up as a child in the 80's and my aunts friends were musical. They often played his music around campfires. I'm 42 and I am glad to know this genre of music

[@steveroberts8719]

I will love you forever, John. May you rest in peace and in Paradise. Be assured that your music, like one of your influences, Hank Williams, will live forever. Now you and Steve Goodman can sing duets once again!

[@Frenchy0.0]

I like this bc I was born in Greenville and my Memaw was born in a town called paradise and my papaw was a Peabody miner

[@TheManInTheRing]

Sturgill adored John and his time with him. He was somthing Special

[@charleyatkisson-ii3ow]

Sturgil Simpson just loves John Prine as do we all

[@wproct11]

Been a John Prine fan many years. First time I saw him was in the 70's on the Johnny Cash show performing this very song. He is a legend to our family!

[@stevelyverse6973]

i was lucky enough to see John Prine live at WKU in Bowling Green (Diddle Arena) 1968 or '69 - the memory hasn't left me.........

[@GregoryCrask]

At first this seems like a simple song... but after listening to it a few more time you realize it's another masterpiece from the master!

[@GregoryCrask]

The man is on another level…. Master song composer that knows just how to get to the heart of any song and make it his!

[@jamiecollins32]

Rest In Paradise John Prine

[@jasongoodman1311]

Beautiful performance by both. And I grew up on the Mud River which feeds the Green. About 20 miles from Paradise as a crow flies. Love hearing this

[@mikemyers766]

love this song!!! been singing it for years every time i cross in to mulenburg county on the WK and cross over the green. used to embarrass my girls everytime they had friends in the truck lol. john sick COVD-19 god be with you my friend!!!

[@austinhaynes2777]

What a memory I will carry for the rest of my life. I'm so saddened at your passing. Rest easy john P

[@larrykuhn7162]

He had throat cancer and I have heard he was sick again I've been a fan for years and I have not ever seen him in concert praying for him to get well I'd love to see him in concert someday

[@kkampy4052]

A musical legend and future musical legend together.

[@r37l36]

My exes father played this song on his twelve string and sang it to us many times. I will never forget his amazing talent. Miss you and your guitar WJK. I know it’s very unlikely you will ever see this post but never the less I truly hope I will get to hear you play even if it’s for just one more time. Be well.

[@JoshuaWaltz-fj4rg]

This is beautiful. RIP John. We miss you.

[@JusticeAlways]

John Prine was the master wordsmith of songwriting. I play many of his songs in my setlist... God bless you brother John. 😊

[@robNeedles213]

I've had too much bourbon for this. Just all tears and laughter.

[@gregneal5322]

I’m proud that I’m a Kentucky boy myself and I was born here and I will die here not to mention John was one of the greatest song writers of our time til then brother

[@jimenamariacardonadiaz3097]

Hasta hoy, conozco este cantautor americano..por una emisora americana, que estoy oyendo..las reseñas hablan que era un Poeta.. Que descanse en Paz🙏🙏

[@rodie1994]

The Grammies are much less important than music like this.

[@lindajacobsen5322]

Best songwriter, bar none. For all the enjoyment you bought , I thank you from the bottom of my broken heart. Rest easy John Prine.

[@nekkidpossum4397]

Thank you, Mr. Prine.

[@cidspimms]

Rest in peace, Mr. Prine. Thank-You for all your music throughout the years.

[@SatrajitSanyal]

Rest well Mr.Prine...I'm sure you're not "halfway"...but if you've chosen to take a short detour, we'll find you in Paradise🥰🥰🤗🤗

John Prine for President!!

A visual you can SMELL. That is the power of that man’s simple, yet impressive words.

John Prine is Forever my Hero saw him in Cincinnati 6/9/18 AWESOME AND AMAZING

[@denisfoley]

My favourite song of Mr John Prine ,, what a legend and what a loss what a poet .

[@theriverken]

My dad lives in Greenville, a few miles away. My grandad had a farm on the Green, close to Paradise. Saw the shovel as a child.

[@peterbu57]

may your ashes float down the green river. rest in peace, mr prine

[@jimmyhenderson1653]

Shouldn't John's name appear first, since it is his song??

[@rodmckenzie8276]

Yes

[@danielweber8548]

Probably trying to increase views by listing the current most popular guy first.

[@ulogy]

@@danielweber8548 I've still no idea who the other guy is.

[@rw9495]

@@ulogy Sturgill is really good, and a great guy according to my friends who've played shows with him. Listen to You can Have The Crown, Turtles All The Way Down, Life Ain't Fair, and Railroad of Sin to get a feel for him. Great voice with a strong southern accent.

[@aaronbowers3660]

Even though he's talking about coal ruining "paradise", I feel this song as one who's childhood home was overtaken by urban sprawl here in Idaho.

❤ damn good song

[@michaelalan8046]

Whoever thumbs downed this, obviously has no real sense of what music is.

[@ryanatkins1817]

Bluegrass is revolution music. It’s always been revolution music. 💯

[@Stillpoint23]

AI might be the next "coaltrain" someone will be singing a touching, mournful song about. What an amazing duet! Hopefully our youngsters listen to his profound music, I know mine has :)

[@sequencerman5]

The Everly Brothers have a good version of this song. Actually, Don and Phil's version was the first I ever heard of this song.

[@durstmonger7394]

New artists can't make me feel this'a way

John Denver did a version of John P's song that's 'prettier' musically. But the determination in this song is equally emotionally moving. Coal Inc. is ugly on the environment for sure and on us.
