Bonnie Raitt has shared a new video paying tribute to the late John Prine, who died on April 7 from COVID-19 complications. In the video, Raitt performs “Home,” written by Karla Bonoff and covered by Raitt on her 1977 album Sweet Forgiveness.
“For those who aren't blessed to have a secure and safe home, and adequate medical care, and are worried about their economic future, and going through medical health crises, my heart is going out to you,” she says at one point. “I'm still so heartbroken over the loss of John Prine, and I know you are, too.... To that angel from Montgomery, this one’s for John.” Watch that below.
Earlier this year, Raitt performed “Angel From Montgomery” at the Grammys in celebration of Prine’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
