Unforgettable Duet As John Prine And Bonnie Raitt Sing “Angel From Montgomery” Beautifully
Classic songs always have a strange allure. Across decades, whenever their melodies echo, these songs still touch the hearts of many. Now, let’s rewind to the 1970s. Which song left the deepest impression on you? We conducted a survey, and many people mentioned “Angel from Montgomery.”
“I am an old woman.” This iconic opening line from the song set the stage for John Prine’s debut in 1971, despite Prine himself being neither female nor elderly. “Angel from Montgomery” marked Prine as a songwriter with a vivid imagination and a deep empathy for people of all ages and walks of life.
Following Prine’s debut, covers of “Angel from Montgomery” quickly emerged, with Bonnie Raitt’s soulful rendition in 1974 becoming particularly famous. Raitt’s interpretation of “Angel” helped make it one of Prine’s most beloved and widely covered songs.
Enjoy their amazing collaboration below:
They were honored to perform it at Americana 18th Annual Honors airs on November 23, 2019 on PBS and it successfully conquered millions of hearts.
The soulful voices of both artists blend beautifully, complemented by the gentle strumming of the guitar, intensifying the song’s depth and emotion.
The audience in the room keeps silent to ẹnoy every moment of the performance but can’t help applauding enthusiastically after each segment John Prine and Bonnie Raitt complete. As the song concludes, the entire audience erupts into applause, praising how incredibly they did.
Sadly, John Prine passed away due to complications from COVID-19, leaving behind a void in Americana music. He was not just a foundational figure but a guiding light, embodying the spirit of the genre. Despite his loss, his songs will continue to resonate and be cherished for generations to come.
