He was one of Johnny Cash's favourite songwriters, a "real national treasure" for Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Dylan once said "Prine's songs are pure Proustian existentialism". Nicknamed the Mark Twain of songwriters, John Prine simply preferred to say that writing was the only thing he ever knew how to do. One thing is certain: with his death we have lost one of his great folk poets and chroniclers of ordinary people, disaster, love and regret, which he often treated with empathy and humour in his ballads.
since the 80s i never missed a ch to see john when he came to seattle ive probably seen him more times than any other artist because every john prine show is filled with real actual magic no one can enchant me the way john did.. bless him 🕊️
