Long Monday: John Prine
Monday morning, one of my favorite singer/songwriters, John Prine, with a lovely little song. Not sure who the accompanying singer is, but one of the YouTube comment writers thinks it’s Mindy Smith.
This one is particularly nice with headphones.

I’m Easy
Monday morning, Keith Carradine in the film Nashville apparently singing to three women each of whom think he’s singing specifically only to her, until they finally realize he’s singing to Lily Tomlin, whose silent reaction is something to behold.
The story told by author Michael Schulman is that Carradine originally wrote the song for actress Shelly Plimpton. Carradine, a newcomer to New York City, saw Plimpton in the Broadway play Hair when he was nineteen, and then showed up at Plimpton’s apartment door, playing the song for her. And they became a couple for a while…

“Summer’s End” Again
I recently posted John Prine singing his song “Summer’s End.” I ran across this cover done by Brandi Carlile who has performed with Prine in the past, and I’ve been playing it non-stop all week, so I thought I’d share it with you. The purity of her voice makes a nice contrast to John Prine’s growl.
