He was 73.<\/p>\n<p>He was hospitalized in March and spent 12 days in intensive care. He&#8217;s survived by his wife Fiona and their three children.<\/p>\n<p>John started as a folk singer in the &#8217;70s and was tight with the late Steve Goodman. They co-wrote the David Allan Coe classic &#8220;You Never Even Called Me by My Name&#8221;, but John chose to be uncredited because he considered it a novelty song.<\/p>\n<p>He had 15 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. His most recent was &#8220;The Tree of Forgiveness&#8221;, which went to Number Five in 2018. He was also an author, actor, record-label owner, and a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>Some of his songs were recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Carly Simon, Johnny Cash, Don Williams, The Everly Brothers, Joan Baez, Bette Midler, Zac Brown Band, Miranda Lambert, and George Strait.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rolling Stone&#8221; has a great quote to describe his music:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Prine explored a wide variety of musical styles, from hard country to rockabilly to bluegrass. He liked to say that he tried to live in a space somewhere between his heroes Johnny Cash and Dylan.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Prine passed away on Tuesday, April 7th due to complications from COVID-19.
