“Aided by a remarkable crew of compadres, Billy Prine sings and shines from the inside out. Billy claims the young man old man blues, but, unlike many things in the world, he keeps getting better.”
-Peter Cooper (author and songwriter), Nashville
Billy Prine’s "A Place I Used to Know" is his first album release since 2013. It features two songs written by his legendary, late brother John Prine. Originally from Chicago and now living in Nashville, Billy’s new EP is chock full of his unique brand of American music – mixing blues, folk, and country into a stew of soulfulness. On the triumph that "A Place I Used to Know" is, Billy has this to say, “This is it – the record I’ve wanted to make for years. Hell yeah, we got a hot one here!”
