Never, and I mean never, did I think anyone could do John and Iris right if they ever tried to cover this song. I was wrong. Usually this song brings a tear to my eye, but seeing these two, obviously deeply in love with each other, singing this song as wonderful as they did, it brought a smile to my face. I have favorited this video, and plan on playing it again and again. WELL DONE!!!!
In every version of this song, it is the woman's voice that moves you. I have not heard a version of this song I didn't enjoy. The guy's part is very important, but boy does the woman's voice move you. Another great version, love it!
Mighty fine ....better than any other version on the tube. Just had to get my wife and many other folks to watch this as well. Many thanks for making us all laugh and smile.
Very seldom do covers do as well as the original. This is truly the exception. As some one said earlier, these two are in love and it shows. I also really love how the audience gets a good laugh. So well done!!!!
I heard this song for the first time the other day on I heart. the song reminded of me and my wife. I played it for her and we laughed. we haven't laughed together for a while thanks.
whats great about this song is its realism .... love is not about materialism, its about those little perceptions about each other that endear you to her/him :)
Their chemistry on this song is just incredible. The lyrics are cute as all get out... this is the best 'country song' (for lack of a better pigeonhole) that I've heard in 40 years.
I love John Prine for his talent and songs. As a Canadian, I can appreciate his folk words and songs, like I do Gordon Lightfoot here in Canada. I only discovered John about 10 years ago, but damn, I've been singing and promoting his songs (by singing to myself in public) so everyone can knows this great singer/song writer. Mine heart broke when he died. R.I.P. Mr. Prine, you did very well. Doug
Today I was reminded that John Prine liked a facebook post of mine back in 2017. I basically said that when I needed to hear the song I usually went to this version even over the original, which I think I first heard on a Bob Harris show; either on one of his BBC Radio programmes or on one of his TV shows on the Beeb. Today I needed it more than most, kerk
Just like a good book, I come back to this cover of two of my favorite performers, Iris and John, about once every six months. Sweet folks with a great sound.
John Prine is a genius with words. These two did a GREAT cover...did an excellent job...their humor and timing were spot on. That gal is REAL easy to look at...prettier than a winning lottery ticket. Would not be hard to fall for her. best of luck
I love this cover of this song. Reminds me of my folks before they split - the original John Prine song was their wedding song and they used to sing it together all the time. Really miss those days. Not gonna lie, teared up a little watching this.
you guys nailed that song, loved your version. Prine is always a hoot to see on stage, and I bet he would love this. You made me laugh, and you actually sound and look great together, so thanx, do more, please
I'm just re-watching Steve and Michaela's video's . I just wish there were more of them on here . Come on guys ... post some more :) , and I hope there is a record in the works . You two rock
Lucky YOU...definitely better late than never. John wrote songs that fit so many occasions and situations in life, you can't but identify with a lot of his work.
Simplicity is sometimes...(MOST times)....the best form of entertainment. Besides the lyrics, her smile and little giggles helped make it really fun to watch!
I checked out more of their stuff after seeing this video. They’re both great, but holy mackerel, Michaela has an amazing voice! I’d love to catch a whole show of theirs live!
What a great cover! Congratulations on doing such a fine job! I'm a Prine fan since the seventies when he was hanging out with Steve Goodman. But really, I'm a fan of so many wonderful folk musicians and bluegrass artists. My latest rave is Billy Strings. I really enjoyed this performance and look forward to hearing more of your music. Michaela has a fine and beautiful voice; a pure pleasure to listen to.
I just saw this about a month ago and keep coming back to it! Michaela this is so great!! I only began listening to John Prine when he died - hadn't heard of him until about a year before his death. The outpouring of fans sentiments on FB persuaded me to listen. Now, I listen every day. I wish I'd known to come watch this live. I was living in Fairfield then . . .
Obviously, the John Prine and Iris DeMent version of this song is great, but this is something more. As others have implied, it's Michaela that really makes this so wonderful. You can see the love between her and Steve in the way she looks at him, she has an absolutely lovely voice (I can think of many songs I'd love to hear her sing), and she's got the most beautiful smile. There is just nothing in this world like a pretty girl with a natural smile.
I think this was simply great!!! Not an easy duo to take on (John Prine & Iris DeMent) but I have to admit as stated elsewhere these two really care for each other and it shows and the only thing I can say to both of them is Bravo!!! And please keep singing!!!
I have known and loved this song for some years but I also laughed like I heard this the first time today. They are amazing performers and a cute pair.
Fun w/ better looking fun is a whole lot of fun. Hope y'all keep smiling big and living large. Here's to finding our way to the other side, In Spite of Ourselves.
>John Prine < who wrote this and Iris DeMent were just the professional people thiey are when doin this song, these two were just had fun doing a cute cover of it, which I found endearing
I was actually searching for the original , and I found this one . These two are great . The chemistry between them just adds to a performance by a very talented couple . Where can I get their cd ? And who hit dislike ?????????
I love John Prine. His version with Iris is great. This version, however, is obviously performed by two people very much in love. I think for that reason, it is better. Great Job!
This is my brother and his fiancee singing this...they are adorable!
Omgggg, I so love them!!
Wrong
I love the expressions on her face when she glances at him.
What a fantastic cover of this wonderful song. Her vocals are to die for! Their chemistry!
Everybody deserves someone, in their lives, that smile the way she does.
Agree!!!
Rest in Peace John. Such a great song writer. Great cover.
Shed an unapologetic tear there….a lovely warm rendition of my favourite John Prine song, may he rest in peace.
Never, and I mean never, did I think anyone could do John and Iris right if they ever tried to cover this song. I was wrong. Usually this song brings a tear to my eye, but seeing these two, obviously deeply in love with each other, singing this song as wonderful as they did, it brought a smile to my face. I have favorited this video, and plan on playing it again and again. WELL DONE!!!!
have you listened to the Viagra Boys cover with Amy Taylor (from Amy and the Sniffers) ? It's worth it's weight in gold !
11 years later I think he wrote this song for absolutely anyone to be able to sing
Her smile is going to be difficult to forget.
She's so cute. They are a cute couple.
I can't believe this has only been viewed 615,000 times. I'd have thought I had watched it more than that. Just great.

Agree.
@@Tlpopescu That's because the man is playing an instrument, not just singing.
There are about 1.1 million too few likes on this video. Great job guys!
You can tell most of these people laughing have never even heard John Prine!!!! Sad! Great cover of this song!!!!
Am I'm a fool or are these two Deeply in love and happy?? GOD Bless!
Thank you John Prine for being born and the gift of your music
Live performances are one of the genuine treasures of TH-cam and this proves it.
Agreed!!
Can't stop watching !!!
Mighty fine ....better than any other version on the tube. Just had to get my wife and many other folks to watch this as well. Many thanks for making us all laugh and smile.
What about this one ? th-cam.com/video/VdXfbG_R1ZM/w-d-xo.html
Really, really great rendition of John's classic...so well done
Not often I prefer a cover to an original BUT this is one of those times. Nice Larrivee Guitar too.
me too found this one too th-cam.com/video/VdXfbG_R1ZM/w-d-xo.html
You two have done Mr. Prine and Miss Iris proud! Good job!
Great job. Blown away, you did jp proud.
Very seldom do covers do as well as the original. This is truly the exception. As some one said earlier, these two are in love and it shows. I also really love how the audience gets a good laugh. So well done!!!!
Absolutely Brilliant, John and Iris would be impressed.
The way she looks and smiles at him is beautiful!
I adore the Prine/DeMent version of this. But this is also adorable. How cool they are paying respect to an amazingly well written song. Love it.
what about this one ? th-cam.com/video/VdXfbG_R1ZM/w-d-xo.html
I'm guessing John and Iris loved this cover too.
I heard this song for the first time the other day on I heart. the song reminded of me and my wife. I played it for her and we laughed. we haven't laughed together for a while thanks.
whats great about this song is its realism .... love is not about materialism, its about those little perceptions about each other that endear you to her/him :)
One of the best covers, Ever !
This is great and so much fun....You can tell they like singing together....Luv it....Thanks for posting..

Would not be hard to fall for her.

I've always been a lover of Prine and Dement. You two have done them proud

The outpouring of fans sentiments on FB persuaded me to listen. Now, I listen every day. I wish I'd known to come watch this live. I was living in Fairfield then . . .
I just now noticed that many of the comments are from when the great John Prine was still with us.
Caught myself smiling while watching this :) Too cute!
This is my late husbands and my song.Great Job.
this is the cutest video!!!
This song always makes me smile
Great cover! Another John Prine jewel :)

I listen to this totally me and my lady
loved the Prine Dement version but this is special
yup
Amen brother
Nothing in this world.
I think this was simply great!!! Not an easy duo to take on (John Prine & Iris DeMent) but I have to admit as stated elsewhere these two really care for each other and it shows and the only thing I can say to both of them is Bravo!!! And please keep singing!!!
Y'all did John and Iris proud!
Oh jeez that smile. He is a lucky man ;)
I have known and loved this song for some years but I also laughed like I heard this the first time today. They are amazing performers and a cute pair.
Fun w/ better looking fun is a whole lot of fun. Hope y'all keep smiling big and living large. Here's to finding our way to the other side, In Spite of Ourselves.
the absolute best cover I have EVER heard!!!!!!!!!!
That was extremely well done!
What an outstanding job on this cover. Love Michaela's voice, would like to hear more of her singin.
Absolutely Gorgeous. Bet she is soooo proud of herself. Stunner !!!
Beautiful moment with a great crowd!
Most cover songs sound contrived. These two OWN this song. Fantastic and dare I say, moving.
Absolutely lovely. He's a lucky guy.
Hey ... nice job you two! (and I love John Prine!)
Very impressed, brilliant cover, ye made it ye're own! The humour is brilliant!
>John Prine < who wrote this and Iris DeMent were just the professional people thiey are when doin this song, these two were just had fun doing a cute cover of it, which I found endearing
Better than the original.
@mrbeaverstate I agree. I respect John and Iris so much. But this is best. This couple is so cute.
No one would ever be better than the original!
you're just a sad person, yoj find a life
I was actually searching for the original , and I found this one . These two are great . The chemistry between them just adds to a performance by a very talented couple . Where can I get their cd ? And who hit dislike ?????????
wasnt me, but check this one out th-cam.com/video/VdXfbG_R1ZM/w-d-xo.html
Big singer and song writer and above all, big and compasionate heart.
Really good. Sincere and honest I absolutely loved it.
I love John Prine. His version with Iris is great. This version, however, is obviously performed by two people very much in love. I think for that reason, it is better. Great Job!
Great cover. Well done!
you kids are great ,you really do it justice !
i loved this rendition!! they were so wonderful!! enjoyed this very much!
What a nice cover ! Congratulations to them and thank you for sharing this video.
Terrific version, enjoyed it very much, thank you for sharing it!
Awesome!! When she starts to laugh a little made me laugh! What a lucky guy you are! Great job
one of the best C&W sonfs ever!!
Excellent rendition.
this is beautiful...great song great performance...keep on keeping on.
So slow.. i play it by 1,25x I love Iris and John! Greatest show in country music... from the early 80s
These folks are the bomb,just great talent with a great song to show it.
The more you play it the better it gets !
just love this. thanks!
I love the chemistry between iris and John. So cute and genuine.
That is not Iris & John though - this is a couple covering a song Iris & John did for a movie, I believe.
It was written by John Prine for a movie he did with Bill Bob Thornton
Craig C is right. This is Steve & Michaela - who have great chemistry here, too.
HUGE smile on my face right now : )
You guys are AWESOME!!!!!
