gillybob - another C&W fan here and I loved John Prine's music. My favourites are Grandpa Was a Carpenter and Please Don't Bury Me.

But his best song ever is Angel from Montgomery as sung in a duet with Bonnie Raitt.

RIP brilliant JP.

The brilliant singer song writer John Prine has died aged only 73 although he had been ill for some time.

Whether like me you love country music or not I just wanted to share this song with you. It’s typical of him and really good fun.

It’s about a man (with a nagging wife) who is able to travel in his mind to escape ....usually to the pub . grin

RIP John Prine
