[@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.

[@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.

[@redshadlizard]

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

[@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

[@greggorsag9787]

Don’t forget Townes

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@JusticeAlways]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@charleyatkisson-ii3ow]

Sturgil Simpson just loves John Prine as do we all

[@TheManInTheRing]

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

[@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.........

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@jamiecollins32]

Rest In Paradise John Prine

[@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

[@kkampy4052]

A musical legend and future musical legend together.

This is beautiful. RIP John. We miss you.

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

[@rodie1994]

The Grammies are much less important than music like this.

[@cidspimms]

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

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🥰🥰🤗🤗

a wonderful song..... "where the air smelled like snakes"... what a great visual !

[@TheMichwolverines21]

Rest easy John. Greatest song writer of all time..

[@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.

[@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.

John Prine - "Paradise" When I was a child my family would travel Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered So many times that my memories are worn. [Chorus:] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River To the abandoned old prison down by Airdrie Hill Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols But empty pop bottles was all we would kill. [Chorus] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man. [Chorus] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away When I die let my ashes float down the Green River Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin' Just five miles away from wherever I am. [Chorus] And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
