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.

"I love you Bonnie" "I love you John"

Thank You John and Bonnie …..a treasured duet …now and forever !!!

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.

Back in 1971 I went to see and hear John Prine in a small club on Congress Ave, Austin, Texas. John did several songs before saying of someone he wants us to see, "Welcome Bonnie Raitt". The first song they sang together that evening was "Angle From Montgomery"

Tears in my eyes, we miss you John.

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.

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.

My favourite performance of this song. Bonnie's 'from montgomery' at 0.51-0.54 makes me almost burst into tears every time i watch this. The way she sings that line on this particular performance, you can almost hear the ghosts of all the times she has sang this over the decades, you can almost feel the memory of it yourself, mixed with a sense of loss and nostaliga. Stunning.

Best performance I've seen of his best song. We lost a legend today. RIP, John.

Levon Helm summed up the perfect description of the essence of music when he said ' music is not a fad , or a style , you can make music do lots of things 'cos music don't care ! '

Mann some drunken gentleman told me to listen to this and I had to open a beer after hearing it. Great vibes

I don't have the words to thank you, Brother. Thanks for walking me home.

I love this song. Sang it with fans in the parking lot outside Toronto music hall. He will be missed.

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.

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.

If interested, compare to other versions of her singing this with or without John. They both are international treasures, though often referred to as "national" treasures. Nope; this compares to anybody~~anywhere. I could not appreciate or love them more. What they have added to my life is immeasurable.
