Sturgill Simpson brings the same bluegrass sensibilities of his two recent
Cuttin Grass albums to a new cover of John Prine s classic song Paradise. The early-career cut reflects on the devastating effects of coal mining in Paradise, Ky., in Prine s family s home area of Muhlenberg County.
Prine wrote Paradise originally from his debut album, 1971 s
John Prine for his father. The song has been covered by numerous artists over the years: John Denver, the Everly Brothers, Lynn Anderson, Roy Acuff, Dwight Yoakam and even Johnny Cash all recorded versions of the song. Per Oh Boy Records, Prine s record label, Simpson s version of Paradise was the last song record at the Butcher Shoppe recording studio in Nashville.
Lucinda Williams, Blackberry Smoke, the Randy Rogers Band, Shovels & Rope, Pat Green and other celebrated musicians from the Americana and âRed Dirtâ genres are slated to perform during Key Westâs Mile 0 Fest, scheduled Tuesday through Saturday, April 27 through May 1.
The fourth annual festival is expected to draw more than 60 performers, all representing the musical styles that blend elements of rock, country and the American roots tradition. The event is named for Key Westâs geographical location at the beginning of U.S. Highway 1, which is marked with a green âMile 0â sign.
Attendees can enjoy five days of main stage shows at Key Westâs open-air Coffee Butler Amphitheater at Truman Waterfront Park, located at 35 E. Quay Road. Intimate acoustic jams and songwriter swaps at other island locations are to round out the offerings.
McEntire was in the fourth season of her smash sitcom
Reba on the WB when Parton guested on an episode titled Reba s Rules of Real Estate. The country legend was cast as Dolly Majors, the ruthless owner of a real estate agency at which McEntire s character, Reba Hart, lands a job.
As the episode goes on, Hart begins to see behind Majors sweet facade and realize how cutthroat she is. She comes to find out that if those are the requirements, maybe working for such a power player is not the right move for her after all.
McEntire and Parton have teamed here and there for one-off musical performances over the years, too, and in an interview with E! in 2017, McEntire said she d love to tour with Parton.
