Honor John Prine a month after his passing with Eric Church’s ‘must-listen’ song list

It’s been one month since the music world suffered an immense loss, and country fans across the globe are still in mourning. On April 7, country great John Prine passed away at 73 years of age. In the hours that followed his death, country superstar and “Drink in My Hand” singer-songwriter Eric Church got in touch with The Highway (Ch. 56) host Storme Warren to chat about Prine’s massive impact and incredible catalog.

The GRAMMY Award-winning singer spent his life writing truths and putting them to music, changing the country music world forever. Inspiring fellow musicians such as Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, and Kris Kristofferson, Prine was so often the brains and the soul behind songs that the masses would fall in love with without even realizing where they originated. Though some still may not know his name, they do know his words, his stories, and his songs.

Of those songs, Church shared his personal list of “must-listen” Prine tracks that every country fan should check out — see his recommendations below.
