@@tomy.1846 Unbelievably brutally honest. Not for the faint of heart for SURE! You can definitely hear the Hank Williams influence in his songwriting. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry has some beautifully dark lyrics in it as well. As do tons of other Hank songs.

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!!
Last night in Philly, Raitt did this one. She observed that John Prine may be gone, but his music lives on (when she and others give it to us so beautifully).
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.
I was lucky enough to witness the guess who in the 70s at Alex Cooleys electric ballroom and there weren't but about 50 people there,and 8 of us sat semi circle on the dance floor not ten feet away as they performed on a 3 ft high stage! Like our own private concert! Went to Jackson hole at 12 years old,but 65 now and would love to visit again one day
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
It was great to see Bonnie honored at the Kennedy Center Honors. I was lucky enough to see her perform in a small club in Madison, WI back in the '70s. Look her great she looks in this video!

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.

Have you checked the rest of their music? There is a duet of John and Bonnie singing this on You tube. Heartbreaking! Make sure to see every word John ever wrote. Never mind decades of Bonnies fabulous songs. Both GIANT talents. Lake Marie, Give Them Something To Talk About. Thank God the list goes on forever!

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.
I was lucky enough to hear both her and John prine sing it together live. Saw each by themselves multiple times. I love this song. Funny side note . My favorite bonnie raitt songs were written by other artist. Angel from montgomery - john prine That song about a midway - joni mitchell My opening farewell- jackson browne My little runaway - slips my mind at the moment , all great song and all made better by bonnie
John prine was a genius song writer. Some of the best country rock songs ever written. I'm a Brit who was brought up on Prine, Mitchell, Taylor, Crosby, stills and Nash, Dylan etc. My parents lived in the states for 4 years in the early 70s and these songs were their soundtrack.
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.
Amen, I'm 63,and I lived those times,and loved them 70,s especially! The best decade for music, Steely Dan to Stevie Wonder/ Bonnie/ I saw her in the 80,s,, but been a fan since the 70,s!!(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
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
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!
This sounds so strange without John in it. I was lucky enough to see them perform this song together, and now that's usually what I listen to. RIP, John.
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 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
If dreams were LIGHTNING And THUNDER were desire.. Is there any reason she changed the lyrics switching the to thunder then lighting? Or just her being an artist? Just wondering/ curious! :)
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.
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.
Maybe not racist but still slightly uneducated. She’s moving so “effortlessly” because she’s playing with a capo and it’s a 5-1 Chord progression. (The two chords she needs are Both in her palm, thus no string sliding sound). And it’s really up to the recording engineer to get either mic the fretting band or not. Lots of engineers love that sound because it makes the whole performance sound more natural
@@matthewrodriguez9009 I think that Von was talking about her vocals, rather than her guitar playing. I don't hear very many guitar players "sliding around" to the notes, but I hear quite a few vocalists doing it.
John Prine is peerless as a song writer. And Bonnie Rait’s interpretation of this magnificent song is by far the best. I’m particularly impressed with the guitar work in this version. Very clean.
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.
Came on for me in 2018, driving from wv to sc on vacation driving south. Family in car. 9pm at night. Felt the same. Set down in hotel, pulled up the song on youtube. Our family coming from around Montgomery alabama to wv in the late 1940s added to the feeling more.
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!!
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.
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!
I have always loved this lady! I also saw many great shows at the Santa Cruz civic center in the 70's and 80's. Lucky me - I didn't know how great at the time. Bob Marley. Zappa. Jerry Garcia band. maybe that was at the Catalyst. Miss SC!

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!
Thank you, Dennis, for your service to protect our country. Give yourself the credit for your own strength. You are the kind of people that John writes about and the rest of us admire.
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.
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.

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 find it interesting to see how she's performed this song through the years. Comparing this brighter, funkier version with the slower, more soul-driven version she performs now, it's clear that this song has changed with her as she's aged. I think it's a beautiful thing to see and hear.
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!
Kicked out of my house by my parents I had a notarized baptismal certificate as I'd that said I was 18. I hitchhiker the country EASTCOAST TO WESTCOAST I LEARNED HOW TO BE A MAN. I Hopped freight trains I met people who helped and stole from me. I got street smart and music carried me along.😊
Been a fan since I saw here at the Santa Cruz County Fair in the early 70's long before the public discovered her. Love her voice & love her slide guitar playing!
I first heard this song on the No Nukes Concert album & Bonnie was singing this song has me in tears everytime I hear it------ alot of wisdom there!!!!! I too am a fan of Hank Williamd Sr. My father loved to listen to Hank & I get that love of music from him. Well dad 's been gone for over 25 years now along with my mom & everytime I hear Hank I think & miss dad. Mom was a fan of Elvis & Tom Jones & Engelbert. I grew up appreciatinga all kinds of music!!!!! 😊 🙏 ty.

Almost two years ago I was traveling along good old 66, somewhere between Seligman and Kingman, and in a route 66 shop someone was singing this song. And I cried a little bit. Just being there, just going somewhere.
Yeah....I travelled that road from wherever I picked it up in, what, south of chicago??? in '67. Left L.I. New York and headed west....had a gas station map and just drew a red line across it till I got to LA....once in a lifetime for sure...I miss that "me" now....how to explain..?
I played this song over and over when my father died drank hard and finally cried hard after having to deal with my mom hospice my older brother just checked out.
"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.

John Prine was a part of America's soul. We were lucky to have him
Last night in Philly, Raitt did this one. She observed that John Prine may be gone, but his music lives on (when she and others give it to us so beautifully).
Started listening to my dad's albums, one was Sweet Revenge, when I was about 6 years old, I've never stopped. John Prine songs are the best.❤
I'm named after my mother. She died from Alziermers. I will follow her . I 'm the youngest of 6. It's my path.
Hope not@@JanelleCarroll-e2u

I saw her back up Eric Clapton, and she closed with this song; it was great. As for in your lap concerts, Motorhead. Huh? Come again?

That's beautiful!!!
Wow, that's so great for you both!❤❤❤❤
I'll always be greatful to her music! Always
Could you share something more from that day if you could. please, Sir>?
Many Thanks.
Prine wrote a great song and Bonnie sang the shit out of it. So damn good.
RIP Prine
Brian Harder, you said it all!!!!!
It is truly amazing. susan tedeschi does a version, not like this, but as good , worth listening to.
Bonnie's and the voices of the guys in the band: beautiful harmonies
Oh yeah
I'n not at all a religious man but , when God got Prine and Raitt together , he knew what he was doing
Yes! What an amazing duet🤍
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.
I only just heard. Love to everyone that's suffering with/because covid 19. ☮🧡🖖🌹

delivered to the next phase😥

Hard to believe that John Prine wrote this song when he was 25 years old.
We were so lucky he didn't stay a postman....what a treat he was.
He was a old soul
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.
"Nature held nothing back" I love that!
Damn straight she's the whole classy package!!!
Amen! Preach it
Success made her wait.....and wait.....and wait.....and wait some more. Nobody was listening to her kind of music for literally decades.

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.
Written by John Prine
The song was written by the late John Prine who was an excellent songwriter.
I was lucky enough to hear both her and John prine sing it together live.
Saw each by themselves multiple times.
I love this song.
Funny side note . My favorite bonnie raitt songs were written by other artist.
Angel from montgomery - john prine
That song about a midway - joni mitchell
My opening farewell- jackson browne
My little runaway - slips my mind at the moment , all great song and all made better by bonnie
Another brilliant lyric:
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening
And have nothing to say

AMEN to that
69, and could not agree more !
80's wasn't so bad, either for what it was. Just fun!
There will never be music like we had in the classical period. Wigs and white powdery asses. I'm so glad to have been there for it all.
Bonnie Raitt makes any song sound good, and good songs sound great! She can walk on water as far as I'm concerned!
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
That is true of most of the songs she sings, that I am familiar with. "I Can't Make You Love Me, if You Don't" comes to mind strongly.
I found Bonnie Raitt through John Prine
It was written for her
Susan Tedeschi does a wonderful version as well.
@@StevenJowers-o8u
How do you know that?
He wrote it when he was 19 or 20.
Bonnie and John, two of my favorite music people of all time.
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 💚
Rock On Brother- that's good stuff.
My Daddy called my mother his "Bride" for their entire 51 years. Miss them both!
She does John Prines song more than justice .
Her cover is an incredible tribute to JP.
She's even more responsible for people being familiar with it than John himself. Her 1974 recording brought it widespread attention.
Gold
OMG that woman, come on. She sings more in one phrase than most of us sing in a lifetime.
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!
2020, ol' John Prine has died. Thankfully, we had him around for these years. Bonnie here, please please stay healthy, WE NEED YOU
Bonnie you are an angel 😇
This sounds so strange without John in it. I was lucky enough to see them perform this song together, and now that's usually what I listen to.

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

Amen to that, brother.
The only song writer/singer pairing that comes close is Dylan/Hendrix.
Yes but Heaven just got a little richer my Friend ☮️

I've always loved Bonnie. I'm 66 and I have never swayed my thoughts of this gem.
69....same
Yes
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.
Oh wow! I wish I'd been there! Her singing that song is unbearable nirvana!
I saw her in Berkeley at the Greek. It was a great night under the stars. It was packed with folks a bit long in the tooth.. Great night!!!
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!
I have always loved this lady! I also saw many great shows at the Santa Cruz civic center in the 70's and 80's. Lucky me - I didn't know how great at the time. Bob Marley. Zappa. Jerry Garcia band. maybe that was at the Catalyst. Miss SC!
it's impossible NOT to fall in love with Bonnie Raitt!
Yes it is Ken ... Bonnie is SWEEEEET !!!!
You would be robbing the cradle ; ) Bonnie's only 67.
After age 40 there can be no cradle robbing.
Bonnie Raitt is an absolute goddess, blessed with incredible beauty and talent.
How fortunate we are to witness this in our lifetime.
wow, been listening to this song from her and John Prine for years and years, but just found this video!! what a treat!
Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, I wouldn't be where I am today without your loyalty and support. How long have you been a fan ❤🎵❤
"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.
Wow.
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!
@Dennis Bennett, thank you for your service, I'm sure you are well on your way to that awesome concert in the sky, save me a seat! xoxoox
Thank you, Dennis, for your service to protect our country. Give yourself the credit for your own strength. You are the kind of people that John writes about and the rest of us admire.
Yes! Bonnie has more soul in her little finger than most have in their whole body. Great song!
I believe that this livin' is just a hard way to go...
RIP to a genuine Amercan voice.
Peter Hoffman
I weep for America.
Indeed glad sharing this time in life with ya
One of my wife's favorite songs and artist. Rest in peace, Colleen. D. 02/22/2010.
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.
One of the few performers that the live version is always better. The passion and on the fly vocal adjustments.....never get old.
As I sit here weeping, all I can say is Dear Lord, please hold John close to you. What a loss for us, and what a gain for heaven.
I, too, have been crying like a baby. RIP Mr Prine.
John Prine and Bonnie Raitt; a combination that puts most of today's "country" music to shame.
Probably the best I've ever heard this played. Man that girl has soul.
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.
Its crazy
Amazing
What a beautiful lady. A voice from heaven
Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, I wouldn't be where I am today without your loyalty and support. How long have you been a fan ❤🎵 0:00
@TheBonnieRaittFanInbox00 from the first time I heard her. Must 40 yrs..
@@bobswabski3590 okay, so do you mind me adding you to my special fans club where you can easily get updates on concerts and shorts conversations?
Just heard this song on the TV show...In Plain Sight... Had to re listen, brings back old times.
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
Ahh righteously so giddy up
This is how music is suppose to be ! Thank You John !
I find it interesting to see how she's performed this song through the years. Comparing this brighter, funkier version with the slower, more soul-driven version she performs now, it's clear that this song has changed with her as she's aged. I think it's a beautiful thing to see and hear.
Peter Kennedy If you want to see a song change through the years with an artist, watch Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now. Equally moving.
One of my very favorites of Bonnie. When she sang it with John-It makes me cry because it is so raw but comforting.
A strange coming together of a singer, a song, and a live performance producing a moment of magic.
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!
You will be greatly missed John Prime. I guess you're an angel now.
No doubt, John is in heaven forming a band having a cocktail and a 9 mile long cigarette and writing songs for the angles.
Kicked out of my house by my parents I had a notarized baptismal certificate as I'd that said I was 18. I hitchhiker the country EASTCOAST TO WESTCOAST I LEARNED HOW TO BE A MAN. I Hopped freight trains I met people who helped and stole from me. I got street smart and music carried me along.😊
You are a survivor, me too. 6757
Prine wrote this beautiful song and Bonnie made it special. She is so beautiful.
Chris Edwards john prine wrote this song......but prince could have cuz he was f....awsome
Tracey Carriere, he said Prine wrote it. He wasn't spelling Prince wrong.....
Prine's version was pretty special too

Prone did it better
how could you not love this woman
+Pam Collier I have been loving this woman's music for several decades and it always shows me something new.
Been a fan since I saw here at the Santa Cruz County Fair in the early 70's long before the public discovered her. Love her voice & love her slide guitar playing!
Well said Pam!
because she is a liberal .... great musician ... BUT .... she needs to sing and keep her opinions to herself
Oh I have for many decades
She really sings the ever living hell out of this, her voice sounds connected to a 220 line.
That means something cool I wish I knew what.
@@darrinsiberia Fishing line? I dunno. lol
@@darrinsiberia 220 volt power line?
She is electrical
More like three phase 277v
Raitt has always been a great performer whether the world knows it or not.
When has the world not known that? She has ten Grammys.
What are you talking about?? She's been famous a LONG time
They know all about it...
We all know the rest got no taste
@@shawnhardy7044 you suck
This song was played at my wife's funeral Bonnie was her favorite. We saw her every time she was within 300 miles from us.
Sorry for your loss but at least you had that together.
For our 10th anniversary. I bought 2 front row tickets to Jackson Browne. John Hiatt opened up for him and he stole the show!
Bonnie Raitt one of the best female blues singer.
A lot of extremely talented people have covered this song, but Bonnie owns it!
Thanks for mentioning that. When someone wants to cover this, are they really prepared to be compared to the one who "owns it" ???!
Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell are my favorite women singer song writers of all time- just freaking other worldly musicians.
I’m 15 and it’s sad that barely anyone around me knows music like this anymore
sad to think that around us as a teen dont know about this music and nice old stuff..just trap or reggaeton..btw im 15 too and sry for my english
@@Den-wk1mx we need to begin a revolution to bring real music back to life
count me in..
Be grateful you know of this music, you are tapped in.
Fly high and carry the torch 🙏🏼😎
The strawberry blond hair, that big ol guitar, the awesome band, that steel guitar, the piano, THAT VOICE...perfection! ❤
I first heard this song on the No Nukes Concert album & Bonnie was singing this song has me in tears everytime
I hear it------ alot of wisdom there!!!!!
I too am a fan of Hank Williamd Sr.
My father loved to listen to Hank & I get that love of music from him. Well dad 's been gone for over 25 years now along with my mom & everytime I hear Hank I think & miss dad. Mom was a fan of Elvis & Tom Jones & Engelbert.
I grew up appreciatinga all kinds of music!!!!! 😊 🙏 ty.
Truly one of the finest songs in existence.
Did John Prune write this song?
Yes, it appeared on his 1st album
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. ♥
I’m with you. Much love ♥️
The absolute perfect comment, thank you.
Ya, me too. Glad you had me realize that. Thanks
WHEN I was a young girl I had me a cowboy....
...MAKE me a COWBOY, flys from Montgomery...
HOW the hell can a person go to work in the morning and come home in the evening and have noting to say?
... to believe in this living....
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Amazing lyrics, amazing song.. OMG . Bonnie Raitt = 🔥🔥🔥
This is my favorite version of this song. My favorite Bonnie Raitt song.
Picked up her first album in 74. She still is the best.
Bonnie and John. God bless them both
Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, I wouldn't be where I am today without your loyalty and support. How long have you been a fan❤
Bonnie Raitt could sing the phone book and win a grammy. Such a beautiful voice.
Too bad I'm finding her late
Almost two years ago I was traveling along good old 66, somewhere between Seligman and Kingman, and in a route 66 shop someone was singing this song. And I cried a little bit. Just being there, just going somewhere.
Sjaak Pols God that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.
I like how you said that
I let out for Amarillo ... from NY of all places...sat on a porch for a year and a half and played till my fingers were bleeding....I love Texas
Joni Mitchell
Yeah....I travelled that road from wherever I picked it up in, what, south of chicago??? in '67. Left L.I. New York and headed west....had a gas station map and just drew a red line across it till I got to LA....once in a lifetime for sure...I miss that "me" now....how to explain..?
I played this song over and over when my father died drank hard and finally cried hard after having to deal with my mom hospice my older brother just checked out.
To me, this song is evidence of God. So beautiful. I saw Bonnie in concert in 1978 in Syracuse NY. What an epic experience. Thank you Jesus.
God bless:)
God bless:)
