In this special documentary written and presented by Ben Atkinson, we dive into the life and career of the late John Prine, arguably one of the greatest of American songwriters. In this special show, Ben takes you through John's career, from the early years in Chicago to his chance meeting with Steve Goodman and Kris Kristofferson. Throughout the story, you'll hear John's music and the music that influenced him. This documentary was recorded in the days following John's death from complications of Covid-19.
