John Prine is still singing about heaven and mortality — and sounding as vital as ever
John Prine has a number of ideas of what he thinks heaven might be, all of which are the focal point of one of 10 new songs on his first album of original material in a dozen years, "The Tree of Forgiveness."
The veteran singer and songwriter, best known for such songs as "Hello in There," "Angel From Montgomery" and "Sam Stone," also is pretty well convinced of one thing he doesn't expect to find should he make it past the Pearly Gates one day.
