RIP - John Prine

[mart broad]

I see that he did not make it through the virus and complications so gone at 73 the superb singer / songwriter John Prine one of Country/Americana’s unique talents a true loss to American music.

I think there are going to be so many RIP threads sadly. Thoughts with his family.

One of the best.

RIP John Prine. I became aware of him after hearing Natalie Merchant's version of 'Hello in There.' A hugely talented guy and true gentleman. Here's an example of his self-deprecating humour and a song (in his latter years so cut him some slack):

Perhaps more relevant today than it ever was. RIP John.

My Twitter was full of him this morning - and I've never heard of him. Is there a particularly good album to start with?

Saw him at Cambridge Folk Festival a few years ago. One of those musicians who was more highly regarded by fellow musicians (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash...) than by the record-buying public.
