Bonnie Raitt pays tribute to John Pine

Bonnie Raitt notes on John Prine's facebook page today would have been John Prine's 75th birthday that she last sang with him covering his classic country/folk song 'Angel From Montgomery' at the American Music Association* 18th Annual Honours airing on November 23, 2019



Again I have mentioned before that I came across John's work through Bonnie's covering this song and simultaneously Nanci Griffith singing 'Speed of The Sound of Loneliness' as two favourite 'country' singer songwriters that it would be two women who introduced me speaks volumes I think

Nanci and John much missed . . . . . . always

She says
"In honor of what would have been John Prine’s 75th Birthday, this footage comes from the last time Bonnie and John Prine performed Angel From Montgomery together at the Ryman Auditorium for the Americana Music Association. "
