SOUNDSTAGE:JOHN PRINE  (DVD English)

John Prine's appearance on the acclaimed PBS concert series Soundstage is the only archival concert of his to be released on DVD. Included are the early classics Angel From Montgomery and Hello In There, as well as songs from his signature album, Bruised Orange. Intercut between songs is an intimate look at John in his childhood hometown of Maywood, Illinois where he takes viewers to the actual scene of The Accident, and then to the back porch of his childhood home, where he performs and tells the stories behind Paradise and How Lucky. Discovered by Kris Kristofferson and covered by everyone from the Everly Brothers, Dwight Yoakum, Bette Midler and 10,000 Maniacs, his affecting lyrics have given him a stature and longevity uncommon in the music world.
