Americana singer/songwriter David Starr honors the late John Prine with a cover of “Angel From Montgomery'' as part of his ongoing Touchstones project. The classic song gets a fresh take with a rootsy approach of mandolin, fiddle, pedal steel, and Starr’s signature emotive vocals. To commemorate the passing of the prolific songwriter and artist on April 7, 2020.


“John’s writing has inspired me and countless others over the years to be better at our craft. So, when I decided to record my Touchstones album of cover songs in 2020, ‘Angel From Montgomery’ was always on the short list of songs for the record,” David Starr notes. “I’ve played it for years all over the US and in the UK. The response is universally warm; as if it belongs to us all. That seems to be the magic and legacy of John’s songs. And I am profoundly grateful for the gift of his music.”
