Nearly a year after he died from Covid-19 and just over a year after he was granted a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award, the late John Prine hovered angelically over this year’s American Roots field with two Grammy wins on Sunday. His posthumously released single “I Remember Everything” was named Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song, a songwriter trophy shared with Nashville’s Pat McLaughlin. Prine now has four career Grammys.
“The music community in Nashville and beyond, your love and encouragement has meant the world to us this past year,” said Fiona Prine, John’s widow, via live video link after the first win. “And to the fans, you span several generations now. Thank you for supporting and continuing to promote John’s words and music in the world.” The Prine sons Jack, Tommy and Jody had a brief chance to make remarks after the second award was announced.
