John Prine's time in Chicago is often regarded as a footnote in his larger biography, which discounts its deep and lasting influence. Through a series of original interviews, exhaustive research and personal insight, author Erin Osmon, for the first time, paints an in-depth portrait of Prine's beginnings in the Chicago folk music scene, and the history and impact of his childhood in Western Kentucky and suburban Maywood, Illinois.

She takes readers on a journey through the city's neighborhoods, characters and clubs of the 1960s and 70s, a formative and magical period in Prine's life, before he was a figurehead of the Nashville scene.
