Subject: RE: Any Bonnie Raitt Fans ?
Oh yes, much love for Bonnie.
She's done great work since, of course, but the first 4 albums are super special to me.
To her credit, Bonnie also works with great players and producers. Her take on Joni's "That Song About the Midway" is something I never tire of. (For me, it's close to musical perfection, if there is such a thing.)As noted above, she pretty much owns "Angel From Montgomery", too.(Both are on Streetlights, which features outstanding, sympathetic work by the great Steve Gadd on drums, and a host of other super-supportive players.)
Lots of great YouTubes, too (of course)..."Tennessee Waltz" w/ Norah Jones is nice, for example.
