John Prine was a part of America's soul. We were lucky to have him

She does John Prines song more than justice .

Last song my mom shared on Facebook she had killer taste in music she passed this month. Beautiful blonde in a blues band. I'll see you soon mama. Can't wait ❤

Bonnie Raitt makes any song sound good, and good songs sound great! She can walk on water as far as I'm concerned!

Prine wrote a great song and Bonnie sang the shit out of it. So damn good.

What a gift Ms.Raitt is to this world ! Whether she covers another great artist or is her own !!!! Thank You Bonnie !!!!!!

My step mother chose this song for her own funeral that we held today 🙏 RIP Janneil Clarkson 💜

"How the hell can a person, go to work in the morning, come home in the evening and have nothing to say" is one of the best lines ever. It gives me shivers.

I had the privilege to meet Bonnie Raitt when i was a Teenager in Highschool. She somehow is friends with my Aunt. So we had Breakfast together in Washington, D.C. it was quite a memory i’ll never forget

So im 58 and I've just discovered this amazing tune. How the hell did I miss this. Brilliant

You have to remind yourself that not only is she gorgeous and sings straight from her heart to your soul, she is also an unbelievable blues guitarist (and went to Radcliffe). Nature held nothing back when it came to Bonnie Raitt.

Dear John Prine: may the Angel from Montgomery hover gently over you and your wife, Fiona, and deliver you safe and sound in the morning.

Nobody does this great song better. You would almost think it was written for her to perform. R.I.P. John Prine you truly were a master lyricist and musician

My sweet bride and I have shuffled across the wooden floors of this old farmhouse floor many times to this beautiful tune. Adore her and this song 💚

Dogdamn this is all the world needs, music brings authenticity & what matters into focus. Period. No dispute, no bullshit cause it's real soul feeling, simply because it is!!

She makes me cry and no one covers John’s song better than Bonnie. She is a national treasure.

She is just plain and simply beautiful!!! Gorgeous.

One of the most perfect songs that have ever been written. "I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man is another Child who's grown old If dreams were lightning And thunder were desire This old house would've burned down A long time ago" If John Prine had never written another song after this he would be one of the immortals and this version is one of the best.

OMG that woman, come on. She sings more in one phrase than most of us sing in a lifetime.

I'm 47 and just discovered her beautiful voice and music. Sad sad...she sounds amazing.

There will never be music like we had. The 60's and 70's were magic! I'm so glad to have been there for it!

His words and her voice = perfection. He bestowed gifts on the world... but we are all a little poorer for his passing.

Isn’t Bonnie beautiful singing this gorgeous song, while strumming so effortlessly, eh? LOVE IT!! 💗

Bonnie is national treasure.

I was age of Bonnie and little younger than Prime. Man I heard this song when I was very young and now my 33 old daughter LOVES it as well!! Shaped my youth!!

Thank you, John Prine for writing this song. Thank you, Bonnie, for delivering it so beautifully, with quiet power. Thank you, Creator, for both of them.

Just heard this song on the TV show...In Plain Sight... Had to re listen, brings back old times.

I had the great pleasure of seeing her perform in 1976 at a hotel in Jackson, Wyoming. No more than about 300 people, and we sat crosslegged on the floor right in front of the stage. I sure wish I could relive that night.

One of the few performers that the live version is always better. The passion and on the fly vocal adjustments.....never get old.

Yes! Bonnie has more soul in her little finger than most have in their whole body. Great song!

Beautiful lady. One of the top female vocalists, in my opinion. Love her voice

One of my very favorites of Bonnie. When she sang it with John-It makes me cry because it is so raw but comforting.

Bonnie and John, two of my favorite music people of all time.

I'n not at all a religious man but , when God got Prine and Raitt together , he knew what he was doing

Probably the best I've ever heard this played. Man that girl has soul.

Every now and a very long time, there comes a perfect performance. Every lick, every turn of phrase, every note shape, every plucked string is right on the money. Nothing needs improvement here - absolutely nothing!

One of my wife's favorite songs and artist. Rest in peace, Colleen. D. 02/22/2010.

im 63 i introduced a 20 year old coworker who loved music to john prine , he said i like all of these songs

I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man is another Child who's grown old If dreams were lightning And thunder were desire This old house would've burned down A long time ago Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold on to To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go When I was a young girl Well, I had me a cowboy He weren't much to look at Just a free ramblin' man But that was a long time And no matter how I tried The years just flowed by Like a broken down dam Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold on to To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzin' And I ain't done nothing Since I woke up today How the hell can a person Go to work in the morning Then come home in the evening And have nothing to say? Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold on to To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go To believe in this livin' Is just a hard way to go

2020, ol' John Prine has died. Thankfully, we had him around for these years. Bonnie here, please please stay healthy, WE NEED YOU

The intelligence, talent and emotion that goes into writing and performing some of these "Americana" songs should be counted among our national treasures. RIP John Prine

I listened to Bonnie's music all through my first marriage in the '70's. I finally realized that she was singing my songs of deliverance. I left in 1979 and never looked back! This woman gets down to the gut and raw truth of life! What a beautiful messenger!

I've always loved Bonnie. I'm 66 and I have never swayed my thoughts of this gem.

She really sings the ever living hell out of this, her voice sounds connected to a 220 line.

No autotune, no silicone, collagen or botox. 100% natural talent.

"How the hell does a person go to work in the morning, come home in the evening with nothing to say", a truly outstanding line sung by the queen.

A special song from a memorable time in my life. Taking the kids to the Ohio high school football championship game, I’m 2004. They were in jr high, and we wore this out over the four hour drive. Memories, with those you love.

I had the pleasure of seeing her perform one evening, under the stars. (1990?) Greek Theater in Berkeley on a Summer night. It was comfortable just being there, but I swear, she added 10 degrees of oozing warmth to the experience. She just oozes something. What a voice....and how she just pours and purrs it on. Loved being there and listening to the great Raitt. When she brought out her pianist for "I can't make you love me" the pain was too much.

Bonnie Raitt is an absolute goddess, blessed with incredible beauty and talent. How fortunate we are to witness this in our lifetime.

How can I simultaneously have tears streaming down, and a smile on my face at the same time? Thank you Mr. Prine and Miss Bonnie. ♥

This song has been covered so many times, including myself, but NOBODY compares to the legendary Bonnie Raitt. Nuff said.

Absolutely amazing how much emotion and feelings can be packed into 3 minutes and 19 seconds of lyrics and soulful singing. Ain't no angel but I am from Montgomery since 1953.

For all y'all youngsters thinking what you hear on the radio from female vocalists is a style of their own. . . This girl's got a hell of a lot more soul and she can play! One of the best, always loved her music!

Picked up her first album in 74. She still is the best.

This is so good, her voice, the storytelling. Music like this makes me feel at peace with the world.

I’m a classic heavy blues rock and hard rock fan who grew up in the 70s on Led Zeppelin and early Aerosmith... but this woman’s singing pulls my heart strings like something very special.

I believe he has started his rock and roll band already, having a Vodka and Ginger Ale, smoking his cigarette that is nine miles long. I am a viet nam veteran, His song Sam Stone kept me from going down the path of an addict! God Bless you John Prine. Hope to make it to heaven myself someday to see you and hear you singing in your Rock and Roll band there!

The strawberry blond hair, that big ol guitar, the awesome band, that steel guitar, the piano, THAT VOICE...perfection! ❤

one thing that is for certain her voice is timeless…… I love you for that Bonnie Rait🔥

Happy 73rd, Bonnie. Still killing it in 2022. A force of nature playing slide guitar.

Such a beautiful song by John Prine and a perfect interpretation by her. I was a drummer in Cambridge in 1974 and she came to a gig I played at Jack's on Mass. Ave. Very cool.

Its really interesting to hear Bonnie Raitt as a younger artist, then compare her voice now. Both excellent but definitely hear more rasp/grit in later years.

I went to a Bonnie Raitt concert in Plymouth NH - she was awesome in concert. THEN she actually came and hung out at the restaurant bar I worked at. (We had the best blues band play there). She was just, I thought back then and still do, the coolest and nicest musician I had ever met.

Thank you, Ms. Raitt for the many decades of memories.

some of the greatest lyrics ever written. Thank you, John. You killin' it, Bonnie!

how could you not love this woman

Hard to believe that John Prine wrote this song when he was 25 years old.

great song ...and the right singer to sing it from the early 70,s still holds up!

No one has that voice, smooth, with wisdom and blues, all at once. Props to her backup singers as well.

Truly one of the finest songs in existence.

I have had the pleasure of seeing and hearing this beautiful woman and her spellbinding voice several times. She stopped in the college bar where I was working and was all smiles and radiated beauty and courtesy with a perfect smile. She left me a 5 buck tip and lasting memory.

The authenticity of Bonnie Raitt's voice brings alive the deep feelings of life. There is a noble southern tint to that solid feminine voice borne out by her style of guitar mastery. She reframes every song with her own soulful style. How wonderful that she has the connection and appreciation of John Prine to immortalize "Angel From Montgomery". Another favorite is her rendition of "Dimming of the Day". God bless you Bonnie, what a genuine artist!

The effortlessness that she moves from note to note, not sliding around like they do now, but hitting each note perfectly gives me chills. What a talent.

John Prine was a master songwriter. Kudos to The Great Bonnie Raitt. ☮️♾️

That Soul will ring through eternity in her own song..

A strange coming together of a singer, a song, and a live performance producing a moment of magic.

Bonnie Raitt one of the best female blues singer.

Raitt has always been a great performer whether the world knows it or not.

One of the Best in blues and a Beautiful Lady To sing it !

This is my favorite version of this song. My favorite Bonnie Raitt song.

You will be greatly missed John Prime. I guess you're an angel now.

My wife of 35 years straight up looks like Bonnie. I am a lucky man.

I'm obsessed with Bonnie Raitt all over again as an adult after listening to it from the backseat of the car growing up 💚 this is my favorite song

THAT VOICE.... Thats all I got.....Smmfh....Love you Bonnie !!!

WOW Bonnie Raitt so young and beautiful... she's always beautiful, but I've never seen what she looked like when she was young! one of my hero's that's for sure!. I met her when I was a busser in a restaurant and she had so much charisma and kindness!

I was 16 years old, sitting in a friend's care. Radio blasting. A From M, came on the radio...we froze. We wanted to here the song again, and the DJ dd as well. He played the song, again. We sat in the car, crying. We both bought the record, the next day.

This is how music is suppose to be ! Thank You John !

One of her many best . Thank You John , Thank You Bonnie .

She is such a beautiful soul. I've been in love with Bonnie for decades.

Bonnie is truly one of the world's best guitarists.

Nice One of my new favorites.Old but Gold.

I seen back in the early 70s with her old band great show love bonnie she the best❤❤😂

A lot of extremely talented people have covered this song, but Bonnie owns it!

Is it really possible to fall in love at age 75 on a video clip? Saw Bonnie YEARS ago (maybe '73+) at the Santa Cruz Civic, a small, sweet venue, and she knocked my very socks off! Give a redhead a big Gibson and stand back! Flat awesome!

Man, Bonnie's voice is so amazing here. So sultry and bluesy. And she is as Foxy as the day is long!

I've listened to this song a thousand times, and it always takes me back to that first time I heard it, a long time ago.

I believe that this livin' is just a hard way to go... RIP to a genuine Amercan voice.

Holy Smokes.. She's got it all. That voice, soul and very easy on the eyes.

Great song, written by a great songwriter, and sung by a great singer. 🎵🎶🎸

RIP John. One of the greatest folk artists ever! Thank you for sharing your gifts
