Lots of these John Prine tribute songs have been trickling out onto U toob lately.
This one gave me goosebumps and had me sitting immobilized for the whole song
My brother says there's no one who can cover a John Prine song as well as John Prine and that he won't listen to anyone who has covered his stuff.
I think he's missing out. There are some that, yeah, not the best. But others? Some absolutely nail it to perfection.
Sturgill Simpson, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Bonnie Raitt, EmmyLou Harris...
Go check out the whole album. No, it isn't John Prine, but they are his songs, performed and recorded with love, respect and honor.
Ah shit, just que'd up Bonnie Raitt singing Angel from Montgomery, shit's got me tearing up while I write this.

Bonnie Raitt's version of Angel from Montgomery is my absolute favorite. There's also a duet with Bonnie and John that is sublime.
i think this is a new recording, at least a new release, I've heard the two of them and her version (live mostly) but i feel like there's some more depth to the emotion on this recording
