Wynonna – “Angel From Montgomery” (John Prine Cover)
Wynonna Judd is releasing a covers EP next month, featuring her take on songs by Slim Harpo, Nina Simone, Fats Domino, and the Grateful Dead. It also includes a cover of the late, great John Prine’s classic and much-covered track “Angel From Montgomery.”
“I was sitting in the kitchen when I got the news that John had flown,” Judd said in a statement. “I told [my producer] Cactus I needed to sing ‘Angel From Montgomery’ that night because I needed to honor how much John had meant to me. I learned that song when I was a teenager, and now, forty years later, I’m still singing it, and hopefully passing it on to the next generation who will keep on singing it, too.”
