John Prine

In 1992, John Prine delivered an unforgettable performance on Austin City Limits, showcasing his signature blend of storytelling and folk music. This live recording came shortly after the release of his album 'John Prine,' which was an acclaimed comeback that reintroduced his poignant songwriting to a new generation. One interesting tidbit about Prine is that he had been in somewhat of a career lull prior to this album, making his subsequent return especially impactful. The 1992 episode highlights timeless tunes like 'Jesus: The Missing Years' and 'Angel From Montgomery,' all while embodying Prine's distinct warmth and humility. It truly captures the essence of Prine's artistry, with special guest Bonnie Raitt adding an extra layer of magic to the evening.
