NATIONAL BESTSELLERA vivid, joyful, moving window onto the life and heart of an American icon.In the spring of 2018, Tom Piazza climbed into a 1977 Coupe de Ville with the great singer-songwriter John Prine to write an article for the Oxford American. Their Florida road trip ignited a deep friendship, full of tall tales over epic meals, long nights playing guitar and trading songs, and visits back and forth between their homes in Nashville and New Orleans. Along the way, Prine invited Piazza to work with him on a memoir, with John telling sprawling, often hilarious stories of his youth and family in Chicago and Kentucky, his breakthrough into the national spotlight, his riotous early years in the Nashville country scene, and much more. When Prine died suddenly of COVID in April 2020, that unfinished memoir evolved into an intimate and very personal narrative of the artists final years. In it, Piazza offers fans an unforgettable portrait of the beloved musician in his late gloryas a boyish cut-up, an epic raconteur, a great American poet, and, most important, a beloved friend.
