The other day Phil Cook posted to his Instagram page:

“That’s The Way The World Goes Round by John Prine

I got a text from Oliver Wood over a year ago wanting to get together and spend a day with him in Nashville writing music. I was nervous and excited as Oliver was one of my favorite songwriters and singers around. We hit it off famously and have gotten together more since then. We were supposed to spend a week together in April but those plans got shut down by the pandemic. So we found something else to work on together. Today we lovingly and humbly dedicate our version of John Prine’s “That’s The Way The World Goes Round” to Fiona , Jody, Tommy and Jack. Long Live John Prine!”

Oliver Wood commented:

Excited about collaborating with my musical soulmate Phil Cook He took my plain rendition of a John Prine classic and made it a party. Here’s to many more parties and collaborations Phil! And Much love to the Prine family.

Curious? Why don’t you give it a listen. I’d like to hear someone else try and describe the journey of discovery I was trying to capture here. What do you think? How would you tell this story?
