John Prine & Marty Stuart : Souvenirs

[bvallier100]

Beautiful song.

[acerocket1]

My first thought while watching this was, "Man, he's gotten old". The second thought was "Man, he's still got it". And Marty (a talented musician in his own right) had the good sense to just stay out of his way and let John work his magic. Prine wrote this song when he was in his twenties, he always seemed wiser than his years, it's interesting to hear him sing this at his age. Here's to you Mr. Prine, "May your home always be too small to hold all of your friends".

I love when people ask who's your favorite singer ?and you say John Prine and they say John Who? and you just think to yourself what they've missed all these years

[wproct1]

Nice video. Watching a legend and a legend in the making!

[MrFlatroofer]

Beautiful.

[TheIrishboy67]

This is real music!! Mr. Prine just gets better!!!

[CharleyP919]

Is that Eddie Stubbs (former Johnson Mountain Boys fiddler) who comes out at the end?

[jeepman41]

@CharleyP919 Yes that is Mr. Stubbs. He is the host on the Marty Stuart show every Saturday night on RFD TV.

[blundon]

Im 27 years old, and would love too see John Prine live, but I think the time to do so is running out.

[nvoshart]

@blundon

John just finished a tour of Eastern Canada. He played 2 solid hours in Ottawa. The time to do so is now.

[dannooozy]

9/24/2011, 9:23 am on a beautiful sunny Florida, Saturday morning. Here I sit with tears in my eyes. Thank you John Prine.

[sheilaowens55]

John Prine is the best. I've loved him for more than 40 years. His music runs the gamut. Nobody can touch him. This is one of his best.

[deltaf22]

Fantastic little treasure here. Cash did a few sweet Prine covers- I love this stuff.

[gilliser]

John, I,m on your side.

[freetickeys]

I don't know that I've heard John sing this without mentioing Steve. This is one of the best songs I have ever heard.

[josephkenny77]

God Bless You, John Prine and Marty Stuart.  RIP Steve Goodman, we love you and miss you so much

[Thyme2dream]

WOW, this is literally priceless! Marty does such an amazing job of appreciating the treasures around him...tears in my eyes, smile on my face:)

[michaelb5e2]

broken hearts and dirty windows make life difficult to see.. who but the genius of john Prine could come up with that

[Stormclouds777]

The age in his voice makes his music sound so much more sincere. Beautiful!!!

[cosmicowboy111]

Heard John Prine sing this song for the first time in the summer of 78 .... always have loved the lyrics great tune. Course only a class act like Marty would bring him back to the attention he deserves.

[RichiePattinson]

John Prine looks like a cartoon bear in the face now. Like from the Gummy Bears show. And he is as always one of the greatest songwiters I have heard. He deserves his fame. This makes me feel like rope on the Goodyear blimp.

[Rik7366]

Just type in Marty Stuart....he'll lead the rest of the way. Prine is another example.

[wirenutt57]

Like Marty, I can't pick my favorite Prine song, but this one is on the short list. Very, very nicely done, kudos to Marty for setting this up. He filled Steve Goodman's shoes quite well. Thanks for sharing this, I'd never seen it, and it's a keeper.

marty stuart comes to watseka theatre watseka illinois on july 2, 2011

[hanksnow82]

I never met anyone that has gone to see John Prine and didn't think it was a great experience

[Jodieileen6]

@hanksnow82 I'm going Friday! WOO HOO!

[TheGeeze11]

i love both these artists especially Prine... you know i don't know why but i have always thought Marty might be the son of Johnny Cash! But, i was also crazy enough to think Clint Black was the son of Roy Rogers! I guess i'm just a crazy old man...

[DeepRootsRebel]

@TheGeeze11 Well he was Johnny's son inlaw

[rocmaven]

The great Mr. Marty Stuart comes to the watseka theatre watseka illinois on saturday july 2, 2011.

[AmericanaMamaify]

I adore Marty Stuart and John Prine both. This is a great video to see. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. RFDtv is just great.

[ThreeChordGuitar]

@AmericanaMamaify A more perfect comment doesn't exist.

[Dwightinho56]

Thank you!

[jeremylr68]

This originally aired on "The Marty Stuart Show" on RFDtv. The airdate was January 2nd, 2010, but it was pre-recorded. Great song. Prine also performed "Paradise" [1971] & "Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness" [1986] on the show. 1000Magicians has uploaded these, too. Prine is a living legend. Finally saw him live last year with Levon Helm as his opening act.

[1961slam]

"broken toy's and faded color's"............this song flat hurt's. And his haunting delivery, you cry for him.

[curbshoppin]

He is a great songwriter and a awesome entertainer...thanks for posting

[MrJojogun]

My how this old Postman still delivers!!

[MrJeffnow]

I'm afraid to say I didn't know who John Prine was till the Marty Stuart show on RFD. Wow, I was so impressed then started looking things up on him. I like him as he ages better. Just want to say hats off to him and Marty Stuart as well, for just being a great and talented guys. Its all good!

[millzee]

A remarkable video, must have been from RFD TV. I can't believe how the years have slipped away from JP. I look in the mirror and ask myself the same thing. Where has time gone and what do I have to show for it ? Now almost 60 years old It seems like just yesterday JP was playing those songs back in the day . God Bless JP and all of us who have experienced the pleasure and joy of music through the ages. Man.... I love this guy and his gifted writing ........... he Followed his brothers advice

[Zsolto66]

A magical post, thank you 1000Magicians. My eyes filled with tears not only with the song which is my favorite of all his wonderful tunes but also with my hope that he will be around for many years to come. I most sincerely wish him All the best.

Teary I am is all I can say! Stirred up my emotions like when the wind stirs up autumn leaves in the Fall. What am I saying?! Loved this never heard this before. Wise Old Man!

[Mntgoatsfan]

So beautiful... I'm crying here. Ah.. thank you for the music, John.

[TheNannaCate]

I must agree John Prine is a truly national treasure. We have seen him so many times we have lost count and if he was playing within 200 miles tomorrow we would be on our way!

[31Uwe]

Prine is a National Treasure.
