    Interview 1:
JOHN HIATT: Let's talk a little bit about Paradise. You talk
about, sometimes the song comes out of some places you've
actually gone. You grew up in Illinois but you had family in
Kentucky?

JOHN PRINE: Yeah, my dad and mother are both from
Kentucky. I come from a family of four boys and we were all born
and raised just outside of Chicago. Our dad raised us kind of like
any time we were going back to Kentucky. So, we spent some of
our summers there or vacations. We still go there. I just came back
from a family reunion near Paradise.

JOHN HIATT: So, that is where the family was from?

JOHN PRINE: Yeah. It was a neat old town. Looked like it was
out of a Disney movie. And sometime in the late sixties a coal
company and the TVA they wanted to build something there. So,
they just bought out the town and tore it down and everybody that
lived there was more or less glad because they got about ten times
what their property was worth at the time. But it's just kind of sad
to see the town go. So, I wrote that song just kind of for my dad
cause I knew he would connect to it. I wanted him to know that I
was a songwriter. Like I could actually write about something that
he knew about and turn it into a song.

JOHN HIATT: It's a beautiful song.

JOHN PRINE: Thanks.

Interview 2:

JOHN HIATT: Who have you brought with you today? Can you
talk about some of the players you've got?

JOHN PRINE: Yeah, well, they've been with me for a while. I've
got Dave Jacques on bass and Dave has been playing bass with
me since The Lost Dogs Tour. We started out in I guess I don't
know when that was. '95 or something like that. '94, '95. And
Jason Wilber's from Bloomington, Indiana and Jason has been out
with me for a couple of years now. Both of these guys work out
real good with me. They kind of know when I'm going to make a
mistake and they make it along with me and all of a sudden it
sounds like something good.

JOHN HIATT: That's some plan.

JOHN PRINE: And we have a guest singing. I've got my guest,
Iris Dement is going to be singing the duet with me. I'm a huge fan
of Iris.

JOHN HIATT: Wonderful voice. And she writes songs as well,
doesn't she?

JOHN PRINE: I love Iris' songs. I really do. And so I'm just glad
to be out here. I'm going to get to see -- Iris out on tour with us --
see her do a show and she's going to come out and represent the
duet record with me.
