Someone called him the Mark Twain of singer/songwriters. He wrote songs like no one else could. His music was a big part of my life.

Godspeed, John Prine. Thank you for the music.

Damn. Me and my lady just shed a tear "in spite of ourselves". That is our Song. I had his stuff on 8track back in the day.

And he wrote, what?

He wrote a lot of stuff but his real mark is the long list of artists he inspired and worked with, practically everyone.

I'm not really that familiar with his work, but I'd like to be. Which album/cd would you say is a good starting point for listening to his music?

19 albums start with #1... 'John Prine'

Never heard of him.....and I'm sure the only reason he was mentioned was so the media could claim he died from COVID-19

You'd be wrong. John Prine was a legend among musicians and songwriters.

"Angel from Montgomery" has nothing to do with Alabama. It's about 12 miles from me.
