Click here for the original audio.
Multiple Grammy-winning songwriter John Prine died of COVID-19 complications in April 2020. More than two years later, on what would have been Prine's 76th birthday, musicians gathered to pay tribute.
Now, a documentary film, "You Got Gold: A Celebration of John Prine," captures those concerts. It's in theaters through the spring.
We revisit host Peter O'Dowd's conversation with Fiona Whelan Prine, John Prine's widow, and producer of the concerts and the film from last December.
