The late, great John Prine is once again being celebrated. Fresh off a some posthumous Grammy wins, the artist will be treated to a new live album featuring the likes of Roger Waters, Jim James, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff and Lucius.

Called John Prine and Friends, the double-LP release captures Prine's 2017 Newport Folk Festival appearance, and the vinyl release will only be available exclusively through the festival.

The live effort will arrive on 180-gram vinyl in October, but each pre-order of the album arrives with an instant digital download of the set. Proceeds from the sale support the Newport Festivals Foundation's ongoing initiatives to aid musicians in need and music programs across the country.

You can check the star-studded tracklist down below, where you will also find a newly shared live video. The clip features Prine performing "That's the Way the World Goes 'Round" interspersed with clips from throughout the set.
