READ MORE Written by John Prine, "Paradise" has been recorded by many artists. Prine wrote the song for his father and released it in 1971. The song speaks to the ill effects of strip mining and corporations bulldozing the 'little guy.' Although Lynn Anderson had the highest spot on the charts for the song, Jim & Jesse recorded a great version of it as well. Watch this video of Jim & Jesse performing "Paradise" from Country's Family Reunion: Grassroots to Bluegrass.
