      Well, where do I start my relationship with John prime from the 70s? But the main thing is John prime prime. I keep saying prime. Well, that's voice text. I aint gonna correct it old job. John Prine got your feelings and you knew he had them. He grabbed up on your feelings hair and he pulled up on him a little bit. And he didn't like it at first. And then you was like d*** what happened to me. That's what he used to say.
      Anyway, anyway, John pr. I. N. E! Figured out, not from Kentucky. From Chicago. Love you, John prime PRI NE.

      Montgomery Alabama; Montgomery is the capital city of Alabama. The Black Granite Civil Rights Memorial and adjacent exhibition center commemorate the Civil Rights Movement. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, a hub for the Montgomery bus boycott. Close by is the domed, 1850s Alabama State Capitol. East of downtown, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts displays porcelain and American and African art.
      Much respect.

    John was only 24 when he wrote this song, amazing. Wonderful how sensitively Bonnie balances her voice when John leads. Look up and listen to his original version of this tune, then find these two singing it together when they were young. Beautiful, thank you both, John Prine and Bonnie Raitt.

    John was certainly a child that grew old, gracefully and gratefully. He hung around long enough to teach a generation, even two to sing songs of the soul. As loved as he was, and still is, he conveyed a spirit of loneliness so deep you've got nothing to say. But John had plenty to say and these things will be said for generations to come.

    • @IlaughedIcried
      @IlaughedIcried 4 года назад +16

    There's everything to love about this song and this performance. A perfect example of the best of Americana. But two things impressed me most. One was how unabashedly John sings the female gender-specific lyrics without so much as batting an eye. The other is the harmony Bonnie chooses to sing with John. So respectful and complimentary. Years of experience singing this classic gives her the ability to do so. Simply wonderful!

    I have never seen Bonnie Raitt do the same arrangement twice on this song (at least on YT). I like how she went understated doing the lower harmony, which gave more prominence to John Prine's voice. The respect they have for each other is so evident, and the talent they give us is unmatched!

    My wife and I sang this song at my 50th birthday - it was part of a personal fantasy of mine - we played his first record nearly in its entirety. Prine wrote this song, which, like many of his songs, features vivid lyricism, but Bonnie Raitt really made it her own, and when they sing it together it is really special. As I turned 50, I really felt the line .."the years they just flow by like a broken down dam." Thanks John Prine and Bonnie Raitt - you are two of the really good ones.

      Kind words from the great Bob Dylan:
      "Prine's stuff is pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mindtrips to the nth degree. And he writes beautiful songs. I remember when Kris Kristofferson first brought him on the scene. All that stuff about Sam Stone the soldier junky daddy and Donald and Lydia, where people make love from ten miles away. Nobody but Prine could write like that. If I had to pick one song of his, it might be Lake Marie. I don't remember what album that's on," Dylan told MTV producer Bill Flanagan.

    My goal was always to go listen to John live. Never made it. I can truthfully say that on half a dozen occasions as someone who suffers from suicidal depression I got in the car fully intending to kill myself and then I turned on John's music and got so interested in listening to it and singing along with him and his songs which touched my soul, and his songs brought me back from the brink. I just wish I could have done the same for him. Vanderbilt saved me from AMML and I thought they would save John from Covid as well but it wasn't meant to be. I owe him a great debt. What's left of my life. Bonnie Raitt said that he was the closest thing we had to Mark Twain living today (a year before he died) and now I know that the representative of 60,000 folks on the Hillbilly Highway in Chicago produced a great writer, not of books, but of stories set to music. RIP John.

      Hey Professor, I just saw your comment apparently from a year ago. Are you still with us? I'm even more disappointed to see not a single person was compelled to reach out than I am with the GOP. Maybe not my business pard but I'd appreciate if you'd let me know. Thanks

    Proof an epic novel can be reduced to a simple poem. It's not the words, it's the vision created in one's mind hearing or reading it. This couldn't be more of an epic tale if it was a thousand pages. That's a writer!

    He was that polite singing mailman. One of the good guys. He'd already endured so much pain, even had a chunk removed from his neck. No one deserves to die from coronavirus, but damn it all, did we have to lose John? Angel From Montgomery has been a song I've always loved, but now it's become some kind of anthem and reminder of these Covid-19 days. RIP John Prine, the world is a little less sunny without you. Bonnie, you're a treasure. .
