This was originally broadcast in 2013 and is a great performance. If you are in the UK, watch it on iPlayer. If you're not in the UK, here it is on Youtube, but sadly whoever did the copy got the sound a bit dull.
I saw Bonnie a couple of months ago at Black Deer Festival and she was on top form, as were her band.
As she gets older, Bonnie's slide playing gets more and more Lowell George-like, which is no bad thing. Bonnie is a superb musician.
Long may she continue!
Shine On

I watched for the first couple of numbers but couldn't get into it.
I thought the band sounded a bit uneven and not very dynamic. I'm not a big fan of Bonnie Raitt, I watch in the hope of that 'wow' moment, it hasn't happened for me yet.
Ps I noticed the lowell George sound as well.
Hope that doesn't sound snobby, same as all music, some you like some you don't 😉

Not snobby, just different tastes. There are many popular artists in the areas of music that I am interested in, that don't appeal to me. If we all liked the same thing it would be a very boring world.
I have listened to Bonnie's music since her first album was released in 1971. Bonnie's acoustic slide playing on National guitars on her early albums was quite an influence on the young me. Twenty years later in 1994 I met Bonnie in London, she was delightful and a lot of fun.
Here she is with Junior Wells on her first album

Here's another early acoustic selection Harriet, I have the whole of this radio session. I originally had it on cassette and I cleaned it up and put it onto CD a few years ago. This copy sounds really clean, I would love to hear the rest in this quality Shine On Michael |
