This is a really nice cover of one of my favorite JP songs.

Nice post. Prine is such a treasure. Three chords and the truth. But a genius at it.

I keep pulling out the JP songbook I've put together, just to read and sing those lyrics. :wink:
"Three chords and the truth." Very well said.

Very nice, one of my Prine faves too

Kid's got a great voice - didn't expect that to come out of him :shock:

Yeah, it's different and quite easy to listen to. Nice rendition.

I've been working on that song since I posted the link, after hearing JP do it on NWPR this morning. I'm searching for that, too, and it sounds like a newer version. Dynamite lyrics!

Glad you liked it, :wink:

Simple lyrics, simple chords, simple guy. So how come nobody else can do it like he does? Difference between good and great I guess.

Exactly.

Can't remember who the "three chords and the truth" quote came from. Might be a Willie Nelson line???
