- The influence of John Prine, who died last week from complications related to COVID-19, is clear in the latest installment of our In My Room series. We asked some of our favorite artists (and some of Prine’s) to play one of his classics. They didn’t disappoint. Fellow Chicagoan Jeff Tweedy plays “Donald and Lydia,” the 1971 ballad Prine wrote on his mail route, about two people that “made love from 10 miles away.” Ashley McBryde performs a mini set that includes a mournful take on “That’s the Way the World Goes Round” and a deeply moving “Mexican Home,” the song where Prine addressed the death of his father. (McBryde becomes emotional at one point, and needs to stop herself). Todd Snider plays the underrated “It’s a Big Old Goofy World.” Jim James puts his own stamp on the songs “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness,” “Spanish Pipedream,” and “Paradise.” Margo Price and Jeremy Ivey play a gospel version of “All the Best” in their family home.

Thank you, Ashley! That was absolutely beautiful, no doubt John would approve!
"The air is as still as the throttle of a funeral train"
That's how you write great songs.
Only an unassuming genius like John Prine could write lines like this.
Thanks John for making my life richer with your words and music.
Ashley McBryde has such a beautiful voice. She's so genuine, I cried to Ash, I cried too..... ❤⬆️
Ashley McBryde killed this.
She made me cry when she choked up.
I enjoyed all of them but you’re right, Ashley just killed all three of hers. Love her “World Goes Round” rendition. Fitting tributes from artists that clearly loved JP.
RIP Handsome Johnny.
wonderful to see how many of this generation of singer songwriters love john prine.
Brilliant rendition of “world goes round” by Ashley.
Still missing the wonderful John Prine. He just took up such a big spot in my world...it surprises me how vast it is and how empty it now seems. These songs fill it some. Thanks.
Great version of that’s the way the world goes round. Real talent. Beautiful voice.
They all did a great tribute to John Prine
John Prine's in his heaven, drinking cocktails and smoking his 9-mile cigarette. I'm ever so grateful for the music he left us to enjoy. Cheers to his old soul, he'll never truly leave us.
ASHLEY MCBRIDE.......AWESOME!!!!!!!
I see I am not the only one taken by Ashley’s interpretations here. When I saw this when it went up I immediately became an Ashley fan and love here work. Her voice cuts glass and lights gasoline on fire, with a feather.
Living it up time for living the down time
Jesus crisis knows what all the models show our Doom and gloom
Singing In The Everlasting Arms we'll survive
This song's for you John Prine
Fuels in the reefer keepn' folks who died from this fever nice and cool Wall Street Blue
This big fat ones for you John Prine
Hear the Herd Immunity four horesman apocalipitly in view Praying way overdue it's true
Now we're all saying prayers for you John Prine
Living it up time for living the down time
Jesus crisis knows what all the models show our Doom and gloom
Alone in my room I'm just fine but you passed away John Prine
Apologies for a social distance Nation
Songwriting is a nomadic occupation
Oh Boy how you could ryhme on a dime
This poem is just for you John Prine
Drinking washed my hands of sorrow
Alcohol sanitizes tommorow and cold beer is mighty fine
This brew's for you John Prine
Living it up time for living the down time
Jesus crisis knows what all the models show we're all Doomed too
Quarantined in our homes we share a good bye cry
These tears are just for you John Prine
It's amazing how many people's hearts were and are touch by the post man making his rounds , ... Mr John Prime
You know that John Prine must have been an amazing man. His music and lyrics could have never come from a hard heart. There was too much love in there.
Snider is a God if you don't know him you gotta check him out
Paul 6 he's a satirical genius. Was blown away seeing his live show. Combination of story telling, stand up comedy and brilliant songs.
Cool living room Snyder!
Ashley you absolutely nailed it - great song choices and voice and guitar were amazing - clearly a genuine JP fan - more please!
John: I hope you are enjoying your vodka and ginger-ale with the heavenly choir
I think the nine mile cigarette will more appreciated.
Beautiful tribute to the wonderful John Prine.
Just my opinion but one person missing is the great Iris De Ment and her
version of
My Mexican Home.
Jeff Tweedy looks just like his name.
Jeff Tweedy is brilliant. Everything he writes for Wilco and his solo projects are gold.
This tragedy takes the good ones.. RIP John
Thank you for keeping John keeping on
It's like Ashley is eating the most delicious meal.
I am just now dealing with losing John prince tears fall when I listen to his music
Beautiful tribute of some beautiful songs.
Oh Ashley ❤️
Dang! Y’all done John proud. Beautiful.
Nice , very nice @ashleyMcBryde
Special thanks to Margo Price
Feels like a hymn
This was a blessing. Thank you
Jim James singing the electric guitar parts cracks me up
I still feel this.
Todd Snider did a good job
FIRST!
Yim Yames is my hero
Who's the blonde singer with all the plants?
Todd Snider
@@marianneczapiewicz1807 thanks. Gonna check out more of his music
Jeffrey foulcault does better versions of every John Prine song covered here and the fact he dont get asked to do a version of song is disappointing. Shoot the moon - the songs of John Prine. Amazing album. Available now on iTunes. Also has great artwork. Go buy it and then send me a wee message to say thanks.
That's your opinion, doesn't make it fact.
Typical music snob jackass thing to say. This isn't about who does it better, it isnt a fking contest.
you are the worst
Lovely! I knew John in high school.
