John Prine - You Never Even Call Me by My Name (1987)

The full show can be streamed at    • John Prine - Live on Mixed Bag 1987 - Full...  . From a WNEW-FM radio show, 1987. John Prine told the story behind the song - how it came into being and how he refused to take a writing credit and got a jukebox instead. Then he sang the song and dedicated it to the late Steve Goodman, another co-writer of the song. John was accompanied by Philip Donnelly here. This is one of the rare occasions where John sang this song in public.
