Angel From Montgomery -Todd Snider and Keith Sykes

Todd Snider and Keith Sykes playing a song written by their old friend, John Prine. What's not to love about that! This was filmed during a three hour, unrehearsed jam session with some old friends in Memphis. This video is part of a larger project that I'll share sometime soon.
Filmed by Otis Gibbs and Todd Fox.

I went to Memphis with Todd Snider last month and filmed a bunch of stuff. This is from a larger project that we're working on that I'll make public sometime soon. Todd played a secret show for some hardcore fans and this is from that. He did 3 sets sets (zero rehearsals) with Keith Sykes and some other old friends. It's rough around the edges and fun. This was filmed by me and my buddy Todd Fox. please feel free to share this with your friends.

I have a pal, it's been for 45 years now, and back in the day whenever we were at a bar with solo acoustic music he would shout out, "Angel from Montgomery!" I did not yet know the song, but heard it a while later via Bonnie Raitt. We saw a Bonnie show and of course, Ted yelled out his predictable request. And also of course, she played it as an encore. I subsequently learned the tune and have performed it 100 times in the last 13 years or so, each time for Ted. John Prine was such a treasure.

[@garymehigan5004]

Great video, Otis grab Todd and come tour the UK 😊👏

[@josmotherman591]

That was a most excellent rendition of that great song. They were so together. 👍👍👌👌👍👍👌👌👌👍👍

Thanks Otis. It was nice meeting you. Fun surprise afternoon. By the way really enjoyed your Sputnik Monroe tune.

[@robertwynkoop7112]

Thanks Otis for this great version of yet another iconic Prine song. Saw you and Todd here in Eau Claire last fall (Halloween) and I got to shake your hand and chat for a quick minute…. Thanks for that too, and the inspiration and historical visions you share with all of us. In spite of it all, the human connection you provide-this matters most and is the essence of Art….

[@toddgriffis896]

Simply fantastic.... I've only seen Todd Snider once and it was at Gruene Hall in Gruene,Texas

They did a wonderful job on this, and you and Todd did a great job filming it. It suits Todd Snider.

He didn’t get that ripped from guitar only. Workin class heroes..

I don't think he's spending 45h a week framing houses or pushing wheelbarrows full of concrete.
