If you want to know the kind of impact John Prine has had on country music, you don’t need to look any further than this.
Eric Church is not a social media guy. He’s not on Twitter, he doesn’t do Instagram, for the most part you only really know what he’s doing when he’s on stage.
However, the passing of John Prine has prompted even the mysterious Eric Church to pick up his guitar, flip on that camera (props for landscape mode) and honor John with an emotional rendition of “Long Monday.”

Eric recently debuted an encouraging new song called “Never Break Heart,” a much-needed reminder of hope as we struggle to make sense of things during these tough times.
