Kurt Vile gave a captivating performance of the John Prine classic "Speed of the Sound of Loneliness" at Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thanksgiving. Vile participated in a star-studded tribute to Prine earlier this year after the the folk icon passed away from Covid-19, and on his newest EP Speed, Sound, Lonely KV, there is duet with Prine.
Kurt Vile was not the only one in the room who holds a special place for John Prine. Seth Meyers gave a touching introduction to the performance, saying “My family loved John Prine and we booked this act because we thought it would be a perfect song to listen to together on that couch." He goes on to say, "Now we can’t be together, and it was unplanned, but this is a perfect song for anyone who’s not with their loved ones this year.”
