<\/div>\n

Todd Snider<\/a> has said that he wouldn\u2019t have a career without John Prine<\/a>. In his early days as an open-mic singer, Snider studied Prine\u2019s songwriting constantly, and he met his hero and worked for him as a runner while Prine was recording 1991\u2019s The Missing Years<\/i>. Prine soon signed Snider to his <\/span>label, Oh Boy Records, and took him on the road. The two performed together as recently as last year. \u201cHe created the job that I have,\u201d says Snider.<\/p>\n

Snider has been staging livestream solo concerts from his East Nashville practice space every Sunday morning, a format one fan compared to church. This week\u2019s was deeply moving: More than half of Snider\u2019s song requests were for covers of Prine, who is currently in a Nashville ICU suffering from COVID-19<\/a>. Last Friday, Prine\u2019s wife Fiona said<\/a>, \u201cHe is very ill, and yet I remain hopeful that he can continue to fight this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snider played two of his favorite Prine deep cuts, both from 1978: \u201cCrooked Piece of Time\u201d and \u201cBruised Orange (Chain of Sorrow).\u201d Prine shared the story of writing \u201cBruised Orange<\/a>,\u201d and other classics, in a recent Rolling Stone<\/em> feature.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to send a quick love-you to the Prine\u2019s,\u201d Snider said. \u201cFight on John. Fight on brother.\u201d .<\/p>\n
