Prine began his country singing career in 1971 with an Atlanta records-produced album, which was also self-titled. His music was once described by his fan Bob Dylan as "pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mind trips to the ninth degree."

The 73-year-old singer has battled cancer twice in his lifetime, first in 1998 and secondly in 2013. He is married to Fiona Whelan, who's also his manager.
