John Prine & Bonnie Raitt - Angel from Montgomery
Can you imagine seeing John Prine and Bonnie Raitt perform this legendary song together? I think my head would explode.
From John Prine’s 1971 self-titled, Angel from Montgomery may be the story of an Alabama convict sitting on death row hoping for a letter of clemency from the capital - an angel from Montgomery. This version is so full of blues and soul, it gives the song a feeling of desperation that differs from the original.
For this cover Friday, I submit a cover and a re-skin in one. Check the link below for the original album version.
