It’s a good, heartening send-off to a songwriter who was one of the very best this country has produced and to a sensibility that only this country could have produced – Mark Twain meets Man Ray with a side of heartbreak.

Prine’s songs are full of wisdom, drama, laughs and heartache, and as such they’re the real show.

For fans of Prine, You’ve Got Gold is pretty much essential viewing, of course, but for those who have never experienced his work before, it will serve as a wonderful introduction to his legacy

You Got Gold, the documentary of the memorial concerts for John Prine, is a glorious tribute to the man and his brilliant song-writing craft. The music chosen from the performances is the best of the best, and the clips peppered in from the man's own life and interviews with the artists who knew him best are powerful, poignant and meaningful. Bonnie Raitt, Tyler Childers, Brandi Carlisle, Lucinda Williams, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jason Isbell - I mean, come on now! Hearing the long list of musical greats perform his music was a true honor for them and for the audience. Thank you Fiona and others for working so hard to create this gem.
