John Prine - Six o'clock news
Hey everyone, I have an interesting John Prine story. I was working as a musician on a cruise ship and i was browsing some random spotify playlists and i came accros the song 'Clay Pigeons' by John Prine which i absolutely loved. i couldn't stop listening to it. (which i now know was a cover)
Being from Wales and being relatively young-ish, i have never heard of John Prine so i thought he was an unknown artist. Anyway i played the song at one of my sets that night and a passenger came up to me and said 'oh John Prine is my favourite, you should listen to this song!', i think it was 'souvenirs'. So i went and listened and i thought that it was amazing, so a few nights later i played it for the passengers that told me and they loved it. After the set finished more and more passengers came up to me telling me their own personal John Prine stories and giving me loads of recommendations about which songs to listen to and which songs to play by him. Now i have about 20 of John Prines songs in my repertoire and i absolutely love his music. its so simple to play but such genuine music. i would play 'Sam Stone' to all the older American folk on the cruise ships and they would also come up to me afterwards and give me their personal stories regarding war, PTSD etc.
I just feel that it was a shame never to have heard of John Prine while he was still alive.
anyway i made a cover of 'Six o'clock news', probably my favourite John Prine song. Take a listen on youtube and subscribe to my channel if you can, that would mean a lot.
