A new version of John Prine’s beloved song, “Paradise,” performed by Sturgill Simpson, is out now on Oh Boy Records. The song whose proceeds benefit UNICEF USA’s Covid-19 Relief Fund will be featured on the forthcoming Prine tribute record, Broken Hearts and Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine, Vol. 2, out October 8 on Oh Boy Records.
Simpson’s version of “Paradise” is the last song recorded at The Butcher Shoppe the studio Prine founded with Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer David Ferguson before the building’s demolition later this year. The studio was a meaningful place to Prine and Simpson, who shared a writing space in the building and recorded there numerous times throughout their respective careers. Reflecting on Prine’s influence, Simpson shares, “For myself along with many others, he was a mentor. He was very giving with his time and wisdom, and we were all grateful to get to know him.”
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. Simpson and David Ferguson, who co-founded the studio with Prine, co-produced the song; proceeds will be donated to UNICEF USA s COVID-19 Relief Fund, per an email to media.
