Whether or not you scored tickets to John Prine's or Sturgill Simpson's upcoming multi-night-stands at the Mother Church (you've still got a shot at Prine, though Simpson tix are sold out), seeing the two songwriting titans together is a rare and special treat indeed.

On Tuesday, Prine and Simpson performed and sat down for an on-stage interview with American Songwriter senior editor Paul Zollo at the intimate Clive Davis Theater at the Grammy Museum.

Only 200 people could be in the room, but the show was streamed live and later posted to the Grammy Pro Facebook page in two parts, both of which you can stream after the jump.



The first clip features the bulk of the interview (begins around the 12-minute mark, runs to 1:30:00). The second features the last few questions, punctuated by "Angel From Montgomery." After a break, Prine comes back alone (around 13 minutes) to play "Souvenirs" and "Sam Stone," before welcoming "my partner in crime" Simpson back to the stage (around 24:30) with a conspiratorial grin. While Prine reels off "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness" and "Paradise" (whose influence you can hear on Simpson's own "Pan Bowl"), Simpson sings harmonies and plays subtle leads that land somewhere between bluegrass and something on a Sublime Frequencies LP.
