Whatever 'it' is, Bonnie Raitt has it.

Blues, rock n' roll, you name it, she can play it, sing it, own it, with attitude, that voice and those magic fingers. She can scoop me to her lair anytime. ^_^

I've known EmmyLou since before her hair changed colour.

Rosanne Cash is awesome too. Definitely under-appreciated as a voice and a wonderful, witty human being. Smart as a whip and so compassionate.

yeah i enjoy her stuff

That's a great live version of "Runaway", especially the harmonica player.

She also does a nice cover of Richard Thompson's "Dimming of the Day":

Sadly, the live version I see on YouTube (with RT joining her) has a bunch of audio glitches.

When I met Rosanne after a concert here in Ottawa a few years ago, I was completely mesmerized, star-truck, could barely utter coherent sentences. Her aura is amazing. It was like having a full tarot deck thrown at me in living person.

Bonnie Raitt did some duets that are awesome also, they give her a chance to work the slide guitar a bit.

Carrot top is Bonnie Raitts daughter.

She's a talented musician for sure, for some reason or other her voice has a twang to it I don't care for, I'm in the huge minority here but it is what it is..

I heard this song on the radio after my marriage of 23 years ended with divorce...I had to pull the car over....very moving. One of the very few times in my adult life that anything brought a tear to my eye.

I'm with you on this one here. I don't listen to red headed musicians.

Bonnie with the folks from Was (Not Was).

 

[tcsenter]

She's a pretty solid guitar player, too. Blues, rock, country.

That's pretty cool! I had the opportunity to see her perform at a very small theater a few years ago, excellent show.

It was like having a full tarot deck thrown at me in living person.

Bonnie & Alison FTW!

That song knocks the wind out of me every time I hear it. So powerful, and the piano work by Bruce Hornsby really complements it well. (He's another amazing musician.)
