JOHN PRINE

'CRAZY AS A LOON'



Tribute . . . . . . the missing piece and my favourite cover





John really dug Kurt and vice versa and Vile was one of the last people to play with him onstage. John supported loads of young(er) stars and had an extraordinary amount open concerts for him . . . he started it back in the day when a guest spot at 'The Point' concert in Dublin (1989) where he introduced the then largely unknown and only on his second album 'Pontiac', one Lyle Lovett . . . . . .! 

       here: Kurt Vile⁠, Pat McLaughlin (who co-wrote 'Crazy. . .' ), John Paul White [The Civil Wars],⁠ Jim James⁠ [My Morning Jacket] & and harmony vocals from Courtney Marie Andrews [Solo and Jimmy Eat World]
