Singer/songwriter John Prine poses in his hotel room during a 1981 Nashville, Tennessee, portrait photo session. Prine created his own record label "Oh Boy Records" after being dropped by Asylum in 1980, eventually winning a Grammy for the 1991 album "The Missing Years".
To hear John Prine's wry, witty, heart-wrenching songs is to adopt them as your own. On this tribute disc, a new generation of musicians does exactly that, with standout tracks (and harmonies) from My Morning Jacket, the Avett Brothers and Old Crow Medicine Show.
