From her California home, Bonnie Raitt sings her 1977 song, “Home,” dedicating it “to that Angel from Montgomery,” saying, “this one’s for John.”. In the description of the Twitter post, Blanton wrote, “Cried all day, then wrote this. Almost made it through the take without crying! Borrowed John’s melody and a bunch of his words, like I often do. They’re all embossed on all my guts. John, we’ll never thank you enough.
Blanton sings, “Hey, John Prine, thanks for the tunes / They were sweet as peaches, crazy as loons/ Always tellin’ us how to be good to each other / You smartass smilin’ Aimless Lover / But it’s rough down here since we got the news.” Cried all day, then wrote this. Almost made it through the take without crying! Borrowed John’s melody and a bunch of his words, like I often do. They’re all embossed on all my guts. John, we’ll never thank you enough.
