From playing at pubs in western Ireland to the Ryman Auditorium, there is nobody better at spellbinding a room. For the last 50 years, he\u2019s been a voice for the overworked, underpaid and forgotten, and our current political times have made his songs even more relevant. He is a Johnny Cash-level talent we are lucky to still have performing, and he was kind enough to let us in on his life: making breakfast at home in Nashville, preparing for the biggest show of his life at Radio City and more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>John Prine: Hello in There<\/em> is currently in post-production with a theatrical release planned.<\/p>\n<p>Fuhrer said in a statement, \u201cAs John\u2019s band members like to say, \u2018There are two types of people: those who love John Prine and those who haven\u2019t heard of him yet.\u2019 John\u2019s philosophy on life \u2014 finding comedy in tragedy \u2014 is the heart of the film; his stories a daily reminder that there\u2019s always a way to laugh at your own misfortune.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/john-prine-documentary-hello-in-there-sony-pictures-792624\/\" target=\"_blank\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Prine\u2019s songwriting legacy and recent resurgence will be the focus of an upcoming documentary titled John Prine: Hello in There.
