Living in the Present with John Prine
by Tom Piazza
€ 20.99 Save €2.75 (RRP €23.74)
ISBN: 9781915841230
A moving portrait of John Prine’s final years, blending memoir, biography, and storytelling to celebrate friendship, music, and a life well lived.
John Prine (1946-2020) is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest singersongwriters in American history. Over nearly six decades his music influenced generations of country and folk artists, and earned him millions of fans, who treasure the connection they feel to his distinctively authentic and ingenious songs.
Acclaimed author and music writer Tom Piazza met John Prine just before the release of Prine’s final album, the gloriously joyful ‘Tree of
Forgiveness’.
What started as an ordinary magazine profile turned
into a buddy-comedy adventure in a 1977 Coupe de Ville. Inspired
by this unexpected intimacy, Prine asked Piazza to help him write
a memoir, telling the writer extraordinary stories of his childhood,
breakthrough and riotous years with stars such as Johnny Cash and
Bonnie Raitt in Nashville.
Between luminous and revealing chapters in Prine’s own voice, Piazza shows the artist in his final years. Nostalgic and moving, Living in the Present with John Prine is a resonant work for anyone who has lost a
close friend.
