Today John Prine is known around the world for the human stories he portrays in song.  The country folk singer-songwriter visited with Studs Terkel in 1970, shortly before the release of his first album. They spoke of Prine’s time as a mailman in his home town of Maywood, coal mining, and music.  Prine also played his Martin guitar while performing “Paradise,” “Angel From Montgomery,” and more.
