I saw Bonnie Raitt sing this live and it was enough to just about bring a grown man to tears. Susan Tedeschi also does
a great job on the song (and the flute solo by Kofi Burbridge is wonderful.)

Tragically, Prine died early in the pandemic. Very interesting character for sure.

I am a big Jason Isbell fan. I think he is one of the greatest songwriters today. When talking about songwriting, he has mentioned that a 25 year old Prine writing and singing "Angel from Montgomery" from the perspective of an older woman was a revelation and, in no small part, informs his writing.
