Music legends Everly Brothers, John Prine honored with life-size statues in Western Kentucky

Life-size statues of a trio of music legends with Central City roots were dedicated on Friday in the small western Kentucky community’s downtown.

Bronze renderings of John Prine, who immortalized Muhlenberg County in his song “Paradise,” and Don and Phil Everly, two of the biggest stars in early rock and roll, now stand in the city’s new Festival Square.
