legendary & influential BBC DJ & OGWT presenter, Bob Harris and performs two songs from his latest album ‘The Tree Of Forgiveness’

Earlier this year (2018) legendary singer/songwriter John Prine released his first album for 18 years. Tonight he plays songs from it and discusses his 50 year career with Bob.

Back in 1970, Prine was playing at the Chicago folk club The Fifth Peg when the young journalist Roger Ebert dropped in for a set. At the time, Prine was a 23-year-old mailman who had been singing his original songs every Thursday night for about two months. Ebert wrote a glowing review for the Chicago Sun- Times , essentially launching Prineís music career. Kris Kristofferson became one of his earliest advocates; their friendship has lasted decades and they have toured together extensively over the years. In turn, Prine has invited a new generation of songwriters, such as Jason Isbell and Margo Price, to open his concerts. His 2018 tour schedule includes select dates with Sturgill Simpson.

Prine still remembers the first three songs he performed on any stage: ìSam Stone,î ìHello in There,î and ìParadise.î With humility, he recalls, ìI sang those three songs and people just sat there and looked at me. I thought, ëWow, those are really bad.í They wouldnít even applaud.î

Of course, the opposite is true today. Those three songs are Prine signatures. His songs have been recorded by iconic singers like Johnny Cash (ìSam Stoneî), Bette Midler (ìHello in Thereî) and Bonnie Raitt (ìAngel from Montgomeryî).

Notes:

Here’s John Prine at the Playhouse in Fredericton, NB last August with filler from Halifax, NS a few nights later. I included Far From Me from Halifax because John did it solo there, and because there was room to include it. The crowd noise between songs is always a problem in small venues, but I’ve put in some long hours on this one and I believe it’s a pretty good listen now.
Front and back artwork is included. Comments are welcome.

RIP John Prine. Honour his memory by purchasing official releases and merchandise.
Please pass on in a lossless format only; reserve mp3 and other degrades for your own use exclusively.
D o not profit in any material way from this recording.

Superb performance by Prine and band; if you are considering your first investigation of Prine’s oeuvre, here is an excellent place to begin. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am unaware, for the superb source recording; the vocals and instruments are clear and distinct. Torrent has applause in balance and is a fresh transfer from my clone. Therefore it will differ from previous uploads of this performance, if any.

Fault: Very minor and infrequent usual audience interference which might even add to the atmosphere.
