I would like to find a site to listen to some John Prime, "Everybody Needs Somebody", and others.

Where can I hear "Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County?" ( or is the title "Paradise"?)?
Also, where can it be purchased on CD or cassette?

It's called "Paradise" and one place it can be purchased on line is here - click me ...although by no means the only place. You can probably find John Prine at your local record shop. He's pretty much mainstream.

Or you can find him all over eMule and other PtP file sharers...

You can also find a lot of Prine's stuff at his record label web site:

Best part of all---tune in to Traditions (WFDU 89.1 FM in NJ) Web: www.wfdu.fm ( the Blue Clicky thing is down). On most Sundays you will hear a John Prine piece in the context of what I am doing.

PS: Paradise is a beauty---but many listeners have requested Sins of Menphisto---which I am still trying to understand.

A gem of a tune that didn't get the accolades it deserved, my opinion, was Prine's "The Late John Garfield Blues." The only song I am aware of that relates a joke within the lyrics:

"Two men were standing on a bridge,
One jumped and said, 'You lose,'
And left the other one standing there,
With the late John Garfield blues" - John Prine, "The Late John Garfield Blues"

erinshaham -- John Denver also recorded "Paradise"; a pretty nice version.

Is a joint rolled by 'John Prime' called a 'prime number'?

Probably why the spelling was wrong---hard to spell cirectlie id dat shape.

That was my guess too!

BTW, both Seldom Scene and Jim & Jesse do great versions of "Paradise", the song which has the phrase "take me back to Muhlenberg County". Seldom Scene's is a bit ethereal. Jim & Jesse make it more gritty and believable.
