For their courage and persistence, the Levy County Sheriff's Office and 97.3 The SKY are proud to salute Sergeant LeRoy Prine, Deputy Burt Miller and Deputy David Rix as SKY Valor honorees. Their dramatic life-saving story of heroism

This week on Inside the Outpost, we celebrate the songs and legacy of the legendary John Prine through a special conversation and live performance recorded around our recent John Prine Tribute concert at Outpost in the Burbs, presented in partnership with Montclair Film. The one-of-a-kind concert featured performances by Laura Cantrell, Ted Leo, Leslie Mendelson, Sam Robbins, and Carolann Solebello, each bringing their own voice and perspective to Prine's remarkable catalog. Ahead of the show, we sat down with Ted Leo and Laura Cantrell following a screening of the documentary YOU GOT GOLD: A CELEBRATION OF JOHN PRINE, to talk about Prine's songwriting, influence, humor, humanity, and the lasting connection different audiences feel to his songs. The episode also includes an exclusive live recording of "Angel from Montgomery" from the concert finale, featuring all of the evening's performers together on stage.

I recently welcomed my friend Sky Smeed to spend an hour with me on the Mid-Coast Live! program on KKFI. I have a fifteen-year history with this Kansas songwriter; he was the first artist I had join me live in the KKFI studios as I launched The Tasty Brew Music Radio Show in 2010. I've  hosted Sky at my home for a house concert.  A good number of the songs masterfully captured by Barak Hill on his latest album, a live recording at The Rock House in Reeds Spring, Missouri are familiar to me as are some of Sky's life experiences that gave rise to songs like “Don't Know What to Do” “Lunker Bass” and “Without Music.”  That familiarity does not diminish the emotional impact of hearing these songs on this recording nor is it required to appreciate the underlying artistry of the words, stories and guitar accompaniment.  It is ALWAYS a treat to hear a new (to me) Sky Smeed tuneand this recording introduces me to precious guitar work on “Hangin' On”, the affirmation that “Good Luck” is indeed “sick” according to Sky's daughter Rosalie, the bittersweet and comedic reality of not wanting to work “Nine to Five” anymore and concurrence with “Keep Rolling On” that things do/life does change in the blink of an eye.Sky exhibits wonderful crowd work and pacing on this record;his Prine-like sense of humor is front and center on tunes like “Chicken of the Trees,” “Barbecue” and “Bumper Sticker.” I have always appreciated his homage to those masters that came before him. His take on Dylan's “Don't Think Twice” is stellar.  Just sing along…it's okay.I have been privileged to attend a number of musicalevenings at The Rock House over the years.  The folks that were in attendance on this particular evening got to witnesslightning being caught in a bottle.  Kudos to Rock House Co-Hosts Jeanette Bair and Bruce Anderson, recording engineer (and awesome songwriter in his own right) Barak Hill and of course, to my friend, Sky Smeed.  Well done!#songwriter #rootsmusic #communityradio #tastybrewmusic

A half dozen years after his death at beginning of the horrid Covid pandemic, songwriter John Prine is still very much on the minds of the folks in The Flood band room.In fact, every spring since the sad April 2020 day of his passing, John's wonderful songs start popping up among the tunes that fill the weekly rehearsals, like this one, one of our favorites, which Prine wrote a few decades back.As reported earlier, “One Red Rose” is a song that an old band mate, the late Roger Samples, got enamored of as soon as he heard it on John's then-new 1980 Storm Windows album. How the Song Got FloodifiedThe Eighties were a time of change for us. Rog was ending his time with The Flood, the band he helped form nearly a decade earlier. That's because he and his new wife, Tammy, and their young family were moving from their native West Virginia to the green hills of Mount Sterling, Ky., a hundred miles to the west.But before he and the brood hit the trail, Rog taught the rest of the guys the tune and played it for the folks gathered for the last of the Bowen Bashes in September 1981, as heard in the video below:Back then, The Flood never worked out a full arrangement of the song, and honestly the rest of us soon forgot it. Or we thought we did. But then a few years ago, Charlie Bowen woke up from a sound sleep grinning at a dream he had just had in which he thought he heard Roger singing that old song again.Here's brief audio of Charlie relating that very story at a gig a while back:Nowadays we do “One Red Rose” as a little three-minute reunion, both with Roger and with John.More Prine Music?Meanwhile, want to hear more Flood renditions of John Prine songs?

This week, a tribute to legendary singer-songwriter John Prine by his long time guitarist Jason Wilber & lifelong friend and co-writer Keith Sykes recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park in Mountain View, Arkansas. Also, OHR executive producer Daren Dortin sits down for a conversation with Jason Wilber. Each June, the Ozark Folk Center State Park pays tribute to John Prine with a concert weekend featuring world class musicians from a seemingly endless list of friends, family, and colleagues that loved the legendary singer-songwriter. In 2025, host Keith Sykes welcomed John's guitar player of 24 years, Jason Wilber, for a night of songs & stories. John Prine was an American singer-songwriter of country-folk music. Widely cited as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation, Prine was known for his signature blend of humorous lyrics about love, life, and current events, often with elements of social commentary and satire, as well as sweet songs and melancholy ballads. He was active as a composer, recording artist, live performer, and occasional actor from the early 1970s until his death in 2020. John was connected to Mountain View, Arkansas through his love of fishing and Jack's Resort on the beautiful White River. John visited Mountain View regularly since his childhood and made many friends in the area. In fact, according to John, his first public performance as a teenager was for fellow patrons at Jack's White River Resort. https://www.johnprine.com/about Jason Wilber - “I was 26 when I started playing guitar with John Prine. During the summer Time Traveler was recorded, I turned 50. I had been playing with John essentially my entire adult life,” Wilber says. “John and his wife Fiona, their boys, the band and crew, they're like family to me. I love them all, and I loved working with them. It was a special gift to stand beside John all those years and watch what happened between him and an audience. I can't deconstruct it for you, or explain exactly why it was so brilliant. But I can tell you that something amazing was happening. There's something about John's music and his performance of it that touches people deeply. It's very special, and it was a pleasure and a joy to get to be a part of it for so long.” - https://jasonwilber.com/jason_wilber_bio/ Once upon a time in the summer of 1967, Keith Sykes hitchhiked to the Newport Folk Festival and saw Arlo Guthrie perform “Alice's Restaurant.” In the fall of that year he got a copy of the album, learned the whole song and sang it at a Holiday Inn in Charleston, South Carolina. They hired him on the spot for a regular gig playing music in the hotel. In the more than 40 years that followed, he would become a troubadour and storyteller, a massively successful songwriter with more than 100 songs recorded by artists as diverse as Rosanne Cash and George Thorogood. He would tour every corner of America and play in just about every conceivable kind of venue, appear on Saturday Night Live and Austin City Limits, and host songwriter nights on Memphis' legendary Beale Street with many of music's most talented songwriters. He would join Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, tour the country and record the Volcano album – the title track for which he co-wrote with Jimmy. - http://www.keithsykes.com/ In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1979 archival recording of David Prine, John's brother, performing the classic Carter Family song “Hello Stranger,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives.

In this episode, host Janet Michael sits down with Martha Reynolds to explore everything happening at the Barns of Rose Hill in Berryville, Virginia this spring — from stunning gallery exhibitions and hands-on art classes to jazz concerts, film screenings, and sustainability milestones.

A vanished hometown. A son who came back different. An elder on a quiet porch waiting for someone to say hello. We follow John Prine's trail from Maywood, Illinois, to the coal seams of western Kentucky and the factory streets of Michigan, mapping how his songs became a living record of America's working‑class migration.We start with the family story: parents who left Muhlenberg County for steadier pay, weekend drives back down the Green River, and the language that knit southern memory to northern labor. That double vantage shaped a body of work that feels at home in both coal camps and auto plants. Paradise turns industrial extraction into compact family history, explaining why so many left towns that now exist only in stories. Sam Stone pulls the curtain on the cost of war in neighborhoods that sent more than their share, capturing addiction and broken promises without sermon or spectacle. Hello in There lowers its voice to honor elders displaced by geography and time, reminding us that attention is a form of care. And Grandpa Was a Carpenter sketches a worldview built on work, loyalty, and a plain, steady pride.Along the way, we walk the line locals know by heart—the Hillbilly Highway—where Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas families followed Dixie Highway and U.S. routes into Illinois and Michigan, trading coal dust for factory grit. Prine didn't just sing about characters; he archived a code: show up for your people, honor your history, do your part, and expect your country to keep faith. When he died in 2020, the loss felt less like a star going dark and more like a neighbor setting down the notebook where everyone's names were written.If you care about Americana music, labor history, or the quiet ways songs hold communities together, press play. Then tell us which John Prine lyric still finds you where you live.

It was 16 years ago tonight at the Christmas Eve-eve-eve party in the Bowen House that the late Dave Peyton gifted us with a classic rendition of his all-time favorite John Prine tune. And fortunately, Pamela Bowen had her camera running to preserve the video above.“Come Back to Us, Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard” was introduced on Prine's 1975 Common Sense album, but the song didn't really resonate with Br'er Dave until he heard it again about a dozen years later as the opening track on the John Prine Live album.By that time, The Flood had gone in recess, as reported here earlier, but the song was still very much on David's mind when the band reconvened in the mid-1990s, and “Barbara Lewis” then kept coming back to us in the years to come.About the SongThe late John Prine said in the liner notes for that 1988 “live” album that he wrote “Barbara Lewis” in the summer of 1973 while he was touring Colorado ski towns with Ramblin' Jack Elliott. The lyrics were inspired, he said, by the “leftover hippies” he encountered in the Rocky Mountains, people who had drifted through various counterculture movements and religions without ever making it all the way to California.It was, he said, as if they got to the Rockies and said, “God, I can't get over that,” and just settled in.Besides that, John added, “I had different friends of mine who went through the ‘60s, from being totally straight or greasers, then turned into hippies, and then into a religious thing. So I created this character who had done all those different things.”About the title, Prine said he got the name Barbara Lewis from the R&B singer (”Hello Stranger,” 1963; “Baby, I'm Yours,”1965). And the rest of the name of the character? “It just falls off the tongue really nicely,” John said, noting he often tried to match a syllable for each note. “I call it the Chuck Berry School of Songwriting. He's got it so dead-on that you can just read his lyric, and that would be a melody.”More John and More DaveIf this single song doesn't completely satisfy your Flood needs right now, you can have many more helpings at the band website's free Radio Floodango music streaming service.For instance, if you'd like more Floodifying of John Prine songs, check out our John Prine Memorial playlist.

On this week's episode of The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief takes listeners on a ride to the heart of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, where music, history, and whiskey all share the same soul. He sits down with Thom and Kim Bard, the founders of The Bard Distillery, inside their beautifully restored 1920s schoolhouse to talk about heritage, community pride, and the craftsmanship behind their exceptional lineup of spirits. The first half of the show opens with a pour of Cinder & Smoke 10 Year, a bold and expressive bourbon that reflects the Bards' commitment to long aged, character driven whiskey. As they sip, Thom and Kim share the story behind the Cinder & Smoke series, the inspiration for its name, and how their small town roots and historic distillery shape the identity of everything they make. The conversation moves into the next pour, the Cinder & Smoke finished in Oloroso sherry barrels, a whiskey that deepens the experience with layers of dried fruit, rich oak, and soft smoke. Big Chief and the Bards explore how the sherry influence complements the base bourbon and why these types of finishes matter to them creatively. The second half begins with something truly meaningful: "You Got Gold," their tribute whiskey honoring the legendary singer songwriter John Prine. Thom and Kim talk about their personal connection to Prine's work, the emotional weight behind creating a whiskey in his honor, and the care that went into crafting a bottle worthy of his legacy. The moment is heartfelt, a blend of memories, music, and the unmistakable Kentucky spirit that shaped both Prine's songwriting and the Bards' approach to distilling. To wrap up the ride, they pour Muhlenberg Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, a spirit dedicated to the county they call home. Big Chief and the Bards discuss what Muhlenberg means to them, how the local community continues to support their journey, and why this bourbon stands as a living tribute to the people and pride of Western Kentucky. The conversation closes with reflections on the future of Bard Distillery, their hopes for growing their footprint without ever losing the authenticity that defines them, and the importance of family, music, and tradition in every drop they release. By the end of the episode, listeners walk away not just with an appreciation for the whiskey, but with a deeper understanding of the heart and grit behind The Bard Distillery. Thom and Kim's passion, their commitment to their craft, and their dedication to their community make this ride one that truly captures the spirit of The Whiskey Trip, where every bottle has a story, and every story is worth the pour.

In this revealing episode of The MCP, I sit down with Grammy-nominated songwriter, guitarist, and Americana mainstay Will Kimbrough for a wide-ranging conversation on the hard truths and quiet joys of a life in music.From his early days as a 12 year old electric guitar player to getting signed to EMI, and then John Prine's Oh Boy Records, to his work with Jimmy Buffett, Shemekia Copeland, and Todd Snider, Will offers a masterclass in musical longevity, humility, and hustle.A few of the stories and names he mentions reminded me of what I sometimes foolishly take for granted — namely my geographical proximity to musical greatness. For instance celebrated producer Jay Joyce has a studio not 50 hundred feet away from where I now sit, and in the other direction, three houses opposite, is Eric McConnell's studio, the legendary location where was recorded my favorite album of all time, Todd Snider's East Nashville Skyline.Incidentally, in the picture at top I am sitting across the table from that album's producer. I was so excited I had to share the story of discovering that album in a CD listening station at Waterloo records in Austin in the closing moments of an otherwise very dismal experience, which was me playing SXSW in 2004. That album is why I moved to East Nashville, and why I live there still. Crazy but true.Back to Will. Kimbrough opens up about navigating the highs and lows of the industry—learning to trust a team, the freedom of doing things DIY, and how obligation can become an artist's best creative ally. His career parallels a number of iconic Nashville personalities and institutions, like Mike Grimes (with whom Kimbrough formed the beloved trio the Bis-quits and signed to Prine's Oh Boy Records).Finally we get into his life-changing work with veterans through Songwriting with Soldiers and post-traumatic growth programs, and share a few stories about sobriety (his, mostly) and how he's managed to steer clear of some of the darker potholes that might have otherwise claimed a career now well into in its fourth decade.And yes—there's a live performance Kimbrough's song “For the Life of Me,” with me in there on guitar.00:00:00 "Desired Obligation" 00:01:08 Congrats on the Grammy Nom, Will 00:03:06 What caught your ear early on? 00:04:12 Seeing Bruce Springsteen on your 12th birthday 00:05:19 Riffing with Doyle at Grimey's about the power of earlier radio 00:06:18 The first thing Will did with an electric guitar 00:09:04 Constant Throughput makes you less precious 00:10:19 Riffing on Jay Joyce 00:11:51 Getting signed - "the shackles were on" 00:17:22 The collateral positives of getting signed 00:20:18 how to negotiate the tension between personal freedom and teamwork 00:23:11 Meeting Jimmy Buffett through Todd Snider 00:24:32 Trying to get dropped and forming the Bis-quits 00:26:49 Energy optimism and drive in finding a manager or launching a record 00:27:20 Why is it you make your best work when you're in a bad way? 00:28:48 Will's collective songwriting 00:31:31 Writing records with Todd Snider East Nashville Skyline and the Devil You Know 00:32:33 Korby's "East Nashville Skyline" story 00:35:54 The story about Todd Snider's fallout with Jimmy Buffett 00:38:00 Getting addicted to the school of Todd and Rodney Crowell and that crew 00:38:56 A version of the dream as expressed by Korby 00:39:55 Working with Shemekia Copeland 00:40:44 Warrior PATHH program 00:41:39 Wills Bob Dylan movie story 00:44:42 Setting up "For the Life of Me" live in studio 00:53:06 Will Kimbrough performs "For the Life of Me" 00:57:07 "Addicted to gratitude" 00:59:53 A story about John Prine's "Hello in there" 01:02:50 Are you melancholy or even-keeled? 01:05:41 How have you stayed open to the constant change? 01:07:30 Some notes on sobriety 01:12:27 That plato quote about everyone is fighting a hard battle 01:15:17 Talking about reading and writing 01:17:15 How a story about a song connects people 01:18:00 A story about writing with Jimmy Buffett Get full access to The Morse Code with Korby Lenker at korby.substack.com/subscribe

Heartland Souvenirs is Becky Schlegel, Katy Tessman and Nikki Lamire. The three songwriters found each other almost by accident.

This week, a tribute to legendary singer-songwriter John Prine by his son Tommy Prine & longtime friend and co-writer Keith Sykes recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. John Prine was an American singer-songwriter of country-folk music. Widely cited as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation, Prine was known for his signature blend of humorous lyrics about love, life, and current events, often with elements of social commentary and satire, as well as sweet songs and melancholy ballads. He was active as a composer, recording artist, live performer, and occasional actor from the early 1970s until his death in 2020. John was connected to Mountain View, Arkansas through his love of fishing and Jack's Resort on the beautiful White River. John visited Mountain View regularly since his childhood and made many friends in the area. In fact, according to John, his first public performance as a teenager was for fellow patrons at Jack's White River Resort. https://www.johnprine.com/about Tommy Prine is an American singer-songwriter and is the youngest son of John Prine. After his father's death in 2020, Tommy decided to pursue a musical career. At the age of 10, Tommy learned how to fingerpick from his father. As a teenager, Prine traveled with his father's tour primarily to assist with merchandise, then occasionally joining him on stage for the encore. While Prine endeavored to create distinct and independent music from his father, his influence is remembered by everything from covering John Prine songs to writing songs about his father. While Tommy is often compared to John, he developed his own path while acknowledging the legacy of his award-winning father. https://www.tommyprine.com/ Once upon a time in the summer of 1967, Keith Sykes hitchhiked to the Newport Folk Festival and saw Arlo Guthrie perform “Alice's Restaurant.” In the fall of that year he got a copy of the album, learned the whole song and sang it at a Holiday Inn in Charleston, South Carolina. They hired him on the spot for a regular gig playing music in the hotel. In the more than 40 years that followed, he would become a troubadour and storyteller, a massively successful songwriter with more than 100 songs recorded by artists as diverse as Rosanne Cash and George Thorogood. He would tour every corner of America and play in just about every conceivable kind of venue, appear on Saturday Night Live and Austin City Limits, and host songwriter nights on Memphis' legendary Beale Street with many of music's most talented songwriters. He would join Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, tour the country and record the Volcano album – the title track for which he co-wrote with Jimmy. - http://www.keithsykes.com/ In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1976 archival recording of John Prine himself performing his famous song “Paradise,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins discusses the Ozarks' influence at the “Festival of Festivals,” the first National Folk Festival held in St. Louis, Missouri in 1934.
