Watch “John Prine – Angel From Montgomery” on YouTube

Do not own rights, paying homage.

Eminent songwriter, John Prine, is pretty much the music laureate of songwriters in the Americana/folk country/bluegrass scenes. This is on the scale of your Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. A real musician’s musician.

Montgomery is Alabama’s capital city.

Yeah, it’s not “hip” song but the character of the organ and key arrangement, very simple, sounds just like a Sunday church service my parents drug me to as a kid. The words sound like a very specific type of ‘worn hard and put up wet’ woman who knows what Southern Gothic means.

Great Dirty South song.

I am fascinated by the scientific endeavor and I read about or engage with those processes as much as possible. I am a compulsive reader and writer. With a background in anthropology and as an arm-chair/backyard scientist, I hope to improve my writing skills and learn about any areas of weakness or misunderstanding in my analytic skills. I am excited to share. Thank you for spending time here. Please reach out if you are so inclined. I'd be excited to hear from you. View all posts by writtencasey
