Episode 45: John Prine’s John Prine

Sad Dad Radio Hour

In the latest episode, the Dads pay tribute to the late, great John Prine. Specially they examine Prine's eponymous debut album with Atlantic Records in 1971. The legendary songwriter started off his prolific career on dare, and didn’t slow down until his recent death from the COVID. I mean shit, this dude beat cancer and still kept chugging along. Despite never reaching the mainstream success of his peers, Prine inspired a myriad of musician, from Conor Oberst to Jason Isbell. The man was able to deliver heartfelt, humorous, and eye opening social commentary without condescension or superiority. Above all, Prine just seemed like a really good dude, and he will surely be missed.
