Hospitalized with COVID-19, John Prine is Now Stable

- “Sing his songs. Stay home and wash your hands,” Fiona Prine says

John Prine is stable, his wife, Fiona, said in a statement.

The Singing Mailman has been hospitalized with COVID-19 since March 26 and on the 29th, his family said Prine’s “situation is critical.”

In a tweet March 30, Fiona Prine said her husband is now “stable” and she has recovered from her own case of COVID-19.

“Please continue to send your amazing love and prayers,” she tweeted. “Sing his songs. Stay home and wash hands. John loves you. I love you.”

Artists and fans echoed Fiona Prine’s message:

“If you won’t stay home for yourself, stay home for John Prine,” the Weeks tweeted.

“Pray for John Prine and listen to his songs and ask God for a little bit of mercy,” Margo Price tweeted.

“I love John Prine and this is just not fair,” Ron Sexsmith tweeted. “Send out prayers and or positive thoughts and keep him in your heat.”

The Weeks “Two Moons” 2019. Romanus Records, limited edition (50) Glow-In-the-Dark Sand-Filled vinyl (first of its kind!). Two Moons is The Weeks’ 7th release (also available on Crooked Letter Records though probably not on nearly as cool vinyl); they’ve been around since 2006 when guys were young teens. Hailing from Mississippi, The Weeks are an indie/alternative band with a southern twinge. It’s hard to avoid Kings of Leon comparisons: southern indie rock composed of siblings (The Weeks have twins Cain and Cyle Barnes, Kings of Leon has a slew of Followills) plus The Weeks signed to Kings of Leon’s label Serpents and Snakes, putting out two albums in 2012 and 2013. (All of that said, I really like The Weeks and not so much Kings of Leon, mainly because of the vocals. Cyle Barnes vocals are rich and melodic while I find Caleb Followill’s voice whiny and irritating. Sorry!) My top tracks on Two Moons are “Paper Mache Houses,” a really lovely anthemic indie ballad, “Comin’ Down,” a hard-driving rocker (those two tracks I blogged about previously after getting the single on a coffee-and-creamer filled 45, also on Romanus Records), “Believe Whatever,” another rocker, “Scared of the Sunshine” which has a fabulously groovy bass line and little tinges of southern psychedelia, and “Fools Gold” which reminds me a bit of Pearl Jam with a little less grunge.  

Here it is, all glow-in-the-dark!
