If you ever get a chance to see John Prine live - DO IT! He is great...long time fan from the 70's...great memories of seeing him in so many different venues.. Randy

I love John Prine's guitar work on so many of his songs.

Just ran across John Prine and really fell in love with his music.

I saw John Prine at the Edmonton Folk Music festival in 1997. He was the most stunning performer I have ever seen. He had me in tears.

God, that's such a great song. That whole album, In Spite of Ourselves, is fantastic.

don't even remember what I was searching for on you-tube but I stumbled on John Prine...that was several hours ago...I am still listening....these songs are awesome!!! i live in a small town slash rural area and every word of this song is true!!

Go see John. My Dad turned me on to him. We saw him live at the Paramount in Austin on Pop's 70th birthday. An unforgettable memory.

Amazing how Prine can take everyday things and create music. Love it..never heard this one before.

Thank you to my parents for introducing me to this amazing musician at a young age

This song i so true, I've lived in many small towns.. AWESOME!!!!

Great song by two of the best John & Dolores

Spent the first years of my life in Port Alberni... John Prine is the best!

It’s days like this that I really miss John Prine. I miss his unique perspective on life.

I live in Sointula now and it's still like that. I love it.

Lived in LA or SF all my life. Recently exiled to Friggin Palmdale. Preach John!

Brilliant song!

Accompaniment by Dolores Keane, an Irish folksinger.

Great song (as all of John's are), and a really nice video. Well done.

I live on Gabriola Island, so I know what you're talking about. Love the video and, of course, love dear John.

I agree with you 100% on his politics but love his music. This song and very nicely done video combine to make this one of my favorite youtube postings of all time, and as wierd as it may seem I can't get over how thoughtfull the "I am the sunscreen" song is.

Great video, great music :) Thanks :)

I just saw John last Saturday night and he stated he still lives in Nashville. TN.

thank you so much for sharing!! Been a fan for a long time now, and so nice to enjoy your posting, and a very good video to accompany it!!

Erin Stevens that's so cool! I haven't seen this for a long time... sorry for the slow response!!! I can't believe this video has so many views lol thank you for your comment :)

@oopdog Kean. I've got it on Kane's album "Six Months No Sun" and he is the only credited writer. Love this version, too

😍👍❤

Its actually Delores Kean that is singing with Mr. John Prine in this song, and she does a good job eh? I can't help but think about how different your life can be by simply living in a small town, a decent sized city, a large city, or huge metropolis. I suggest that everyone experiences life in both a small and large place, so that you can appreciate the differences wherever you live. One things for sure, beauty can be found absolutely anywhere!!!!!!

@03Gadu08 Same here, Through KZread I find more and more music that I go out and buy to support the artist. I think a lot of people do this.

ya he's pretty good, huh

My niece is from Sointula....

@03Gadu08 You are one of us now...

kieran kane wrote the song, delores kean sings with john on the song ;) at least im pretty sure thats right.

SM. town GULLY MN.

Island life smaller than small town life...

Hey my girl friend is from Sointula, do you know the Lanqvist family? Or George Huson?

Was this song written by John Prine? Sounds like something he would write.

This is close to co-incidental...I think the most beautiful version of this song I've heard is by a fellow named Kiernan Kane. That's close to Keane....any chance of a typo and a family line? And for Prine's anti-american songs...I'm pretty sure your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore.

@jamesjones950 my reply to oopdog was only parly reproduced. is this fault of the awful changes to youtube? anyway, I said it was kieran kane, but not with delores kean.......try again!

.

I find myself watching this video atleast once a week. can anyone tell me where this is made. Love Prine music, I'm just not a fan of his overtly anti-America songs.
