Instead of duplicating the song she chose to redesign it. And instead of redesigning it as a typical Bonnie song she chose to change the time signature. And instead of making it unrecognizable she chose to add in her slide and use background vocals...brilliant
with a little reggae groove. Nice. good 1.
@Bonnie Raitt Wow. Thank you. I saw you at the Brickskellar in 93. Awesome show. Thought the dress you wore was a little skimpy though.
The self absorbed, self proclaimed 'musical experts' here dissing Bonnie don't have a freakin' clue. This lady is an amazing talent and has more class, talent and soul and has forgotten more about music than you critics will ever know.
HELL YEAH! GET SOME!
Yes absolutely , she's a real, talented, touring musician and has lived the life , strong bluesy voice ,great guitar player [slide or acoustic] her live concerts on YT are a testament all that and more.
She can play a mean slide🎸🎶☮️🌷🇺🇸🌲
Bonnie Raitt is top tier of any musician alive
she is by far the best and most unique female vocalist, you gotta love her voice and musical style....
damn straight!
I agree, not many artist can pull off a great live performance. She's a great example to motivate older folks that it's never too late to pursue anything!
They lack an ear for music. The beauty of music includes the different within the familiar, the unexpected within the customary.
Bonnie deserves a like just for covering this gem.
thnx 2 bonnie for 40+ yrs of stellar talent - wishing her mega success on 'slipstream' - hope 2 hear 'take my luv w/u' everywhere, espec, on th top 10 - ♥♥ - ♪♪
How am I possibly just hearing this now?
The only things bigger than Bonnie's playing, is her brain and soul.
Thank you Bonnie Rait for 35 year and more of great real music!!! Started listening to Bonnie when I was 16, saw her about 20 times, sang back up for her at Avery Fischer Music hall in NYC, best night of my life - she is one of a kind. Just read that Dave Grohl is a big fan - so happy for her new album's success. I love this woman and her wonderful talent.
Beautiful song... Have the old LP from Gerry Rafferty... and Bonnie you have done the song justice and have honored the music of GR. Most of us songwriters would be honored by you covering our songs! Thank you for many years of inspiration. Your voice gets better and better. For many of us "it's been YOU, woman, right down the line!" THANK YOU!! xoxxox Alice D.
Can't stop listening to this!
Great version of a timeless track! Bonnie made it her own💯💯
Bonnie Raitt is the most amazing and beautifully talented singer-songwriter, chick slide player! to ever live
I've never heard a voice that could so accurately define me more, over the years, than Bonnie Raitt. I love this woman. AND she's a SCORPIO. 'nuff said.
Gerry Rafferty would be happy with this . Excellent
What a wicked cool version( AND by the way - to those who love to to fuss and hate..) a very sweet tribute from a great artist to a great artist. Thanks Bonnie!
Viva Gerry Rafferty ! Too bad we haven't a live duet with these two Rait/Rafferty. Cosmic ! RIP my brother ..Gerry. Alcohol got you...but for the grace of God, I have been spared.
Bonnie is the only artist th3at have held her own without skipping a beat! I have been a fan of her since 1973 and she continues to blow me away with her artistry. This album will be a gem to her already collection of soulful, bluesy magic..... love you Bonnie!
Bonnie Raitt... love this women... love her music.. I have loved her since 1972 and will continue to love her..
Only she could DARE to cover that song and do it justice. Simply stunning....That City to City album means the world to me.
Agreed
How is this so underrated?!? Good music
Bonnie is timeless. I love her take on this song. I appreciate her boldness and stand on how she feels about love. Many may not respect her openness to other kinds of love but I respect her and also agree with her. Keeping the blues spirit alive to this day. Love ya, Bonnie. Thank you for being such an inspirational artist and strong voice in music and in society.
I'm tired of remakes that try to sound like the originals... This is in her style and she made it her own.. YOU GO BONNIE!!!
When I finally get married I will sing this as my vows, it's never been done before, instead of the traditional promises vows (which no one keeps) I am going to give you my reasons for wanting to share my life with you , it's a dream of mine for the longest.
I’m 31 years and counting and I can still proudly say I’ve kept every single vow 🥰😇. Not gonna lie it not been all roses and sunshine but at the end of every day, regardless of what’s happened through that day…we always say I love you before we go to bed..together. I can honestly say as much as he can anger me I still look at him sleeping and yes sometimes I want to slap him, as I’m sure some days he wants to too, but I still love him til death do us part. He is my heart and soul ❤️💞
God I hope she plays this in Glasgow, it'll bring the house down
Just saw Bonnie for the first time live, in Toronto, tonight. She was amazing (3 heartfelt encores!) and this song was perfect. Understated, true, no preaching, about love pure and simple.
This is an awesome cover. Love the reggae. Just great.
Finally a music video without pyramids, checkerboard floors, monarch butterflies, one-eyed sell-outs and illuminati clap-trap. Bonne Raittt is genuine and pure music and a fantastic arrangement of Right Down the Line. Love it!!
Lol yeah not everyone like symbology I guess.
A song of innocence and experience by a doomed romantic sung by a great survivor .Saw her live in the west of Ireland a couple of years ago-what a great musician.Rock on Bonnie & all you joy bringers.
Find it hard to understand those who slag this off. Rafferty's song was great - no one loved it more than I, but anyone with an ear, (soul), for the Blues has to love this on it's own merits. I often think that Blues women like Bonnie really don't get given the respect they're due because they don't fit with the Blues 'crusty old black-man pickin' on his geetar' image... Love her to bits....
It sounded like reggae to me.
Her voice is so emotional and her guitar makes love to the whole world. I love you beautiful Lady.❤️🎸😎
Damn, what a underrated singer. If only she had more hits
also good guitarist
+Spoder Man good is an understatement
Legend
She's not underrated...she's a Grammy award singer.
Aniyah Jung definitely not a household name tho
This is one of my favorite Greg Rafferty songs and I had no clue Bonnie Raitt did a cover of it. WOW sing it Bonnie! You made my day :)
Same, right here!
@@StarKnight1Sunshine agreed!
Personally, I think that they are both great versions. Bonnie always chooses her covers with great care and it always shows. Love the diversity of couples in this video!
Love Bonnie. This is new to me today. All I can say is Wow.
i heard thi live at byron bay blues fest ,the sound she had that day was awesome , much fatter biger crunchyer ,great cover one of my faves rafferty songs
So beautiful. Such hear-felt vulnerability and honesty makes my soul fly. Thank you so much, dear Gerry.
the incomparable bonnie raitt
She did Gerry proud , great song ,Bonnie's bluesy voice and guitar ,good band too.
bonnie is 2 cool! what a beautiful video - such a humanitarian - oh, did i mention she's been a
stellar talent 4 over 40 yrs & cooler & prettier than ever? - salute 2 bonnie's band & all her
musicians!
She is great a beautifull voice and it is real a good song.
Way to put some new life in a great old song! Thank you Bonnie! You are a true artist.
If it was not for Bonnie Rait. I would have never had the inspiration to pick up a guitar again. Love that about the way music hits your soul...male or female.
Oh boy best cover right here it is
This cover still blows my mind. So beautiful.
Send it, Bonnie! Rafferty would approve.
I always loved Jerry Rafferty’s work, but I have to say that this rendition is phenomenally soulful and meaningful.
I have listened to this back in my childhood and never thought it should be redone. Guess what....This has exceeded all expectations! WOW! So freakin' good. Bucket list...to be able to jam with a sista since moving here to Florida. That's all!
OutStanding!!! I am a ForeverFan of MsBonnie's as well as, on keys, Mike Finnigan!...and who dosen't love George Marinelli blending with James "Hutch" Hutchinson and the beat of Ricky Fatarr ?!! I am buying this album! Yip!!!
Always went to see Bonnie Raitt opening for Little Feat every time they came to Atlanta. Thanks for being there.
Gorgeous song---Gerry is amazing---but I LOVE Bonnie's version! First timing hearing this---just great.
She's great but nobody compares to the genius that was Gerry Rafferty...in my opinion 💥
Love the original and I love this too. Thank you
Guitar solo in side Mr George Marinelli 🎵🎶🎸 🎧
A phenomenal take on one of my favourite songs of all time. Is there anything Bonnie can't do?
I love this version. 👍🏻👏❤️
I love it, love it, love it, I think I listened to it and sang it over and over for about 2 weeks straight, and the song proves one thing about love, it is what it is between whomever it wants to be between, it's as simple as that. Generalization in lyrics is the golden key to the lock of human diversity, played by one of the best artists in the business. Although I always liked the original, it doesn't hold a candle to this one, Good job!! :)
Bonnie you got this song down! Love the way you sing it!👏👏❤2021
Bonnie never fails to deliver. She was magnificent back when she and I were young, and I saw her in Boston in an acoustic show with just Freebo accompanying her, and she is still magnificent now!
This reinterpretation is a daring choice. I enjoy the original far more, but this is a worthy effort-just what one would expect from Bonnie Raitt. Nice work.
Absolutely love this and can't stop listening to it. I can't believe it's taken me this long to appreciate this woman's talent, but now I'm going back through her whole catalog. She is one of a kind. And still bringin' it at 62 with just as much passion and emotion as ever.
This tune is Bonnie.
I sang it like I meant it when I was but a kid and now to hear it from Bonnie is a kiss of Life.
1st time hearing my favorite song sung by Bonnie. Love it.
No less than a compliment to Gerry Rafferty.
Thank you! ;)
Holy crap, this is awesome.
I Absolutely love this Woman. She is a Great Hell of a Singer Songwriter, and musician. Super sexy guitar style they Bonnie you really put swagger on tht song.
@Bonnie Raitt Awesome Ms Bonnie thank you so much for the reply God bless you and be safe. ♥️
I fell in love with Bonnie's voice first time I heard songs. Sight unseen and yet I fell in love with her beautiful red hair ( have a weakness for red heads ). All other concerns posted for effect on this site diminish the expierence of listening to her voice. Love to you all.
I love the original, but Bonnie's version is sultry and she made it her own! Bravo!
GREAT GEORGE MARINELLI
Exquisite!
P.S. World's best slide guitar player is Bonnie.
P.P.S. Bonnie is from Heaven!
Truth.
LOVE this song; the singer is GREAT too! Seeing love always warms the heart.
Her voice has always touched me in ways that bring joy.
Great version. She adopts it as her own.
Right down the line means until the end. Forever. Through it all.
One of the ways that Bonnie puts her own personal touch on this one, is that shes sliding the notes on her guitar (and not bending them ala Gerry Rafferty '78). Superb!
Bonnie, great cover. Love the tempo change. Thanks also for keeping Gerry's music alive. Miss him.
A reggae influenced version of Right Down the Line, well done Bonnie!
Beautiful!
Such a great singer. Damn good guitarist as well
Love it and the new album... Glad to see real music and musicians are still around!
This is what love is all about! Wow! Thank you Bonnie for showing us that love knows no bounds. God Bless.
Brawo brawo brawo.
Piękny czysty głos.
Świetny aranż.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱
subtle & powerful - tht's 'th raitt thing'
I'm with you on that. Isn't all about the MUSIC!
Damn! righteous cover! holy hell!!
love bonnie so much and even more after seeing this video. it says so much about love and acceptance that it inspires me to open my heart more! Cracked me open! Love it!
After a dozen views, I realized that whenever I get married again, I absolutely want Bonnie singing this song at my wedding (live would be the greatest imaginable, but recorded will be fine too ;)
Замечательно звучит. Дух 70-х не пропал.☻
oooo Bonnie, you just keep on getting better and better. Rock on, sistah!
My wife and I were married during the 6 months gay marriage was legalized in California, and our first dance was to Gerry Rafferty's original version of the song. Bonnie's version has hit the nail on the head, doing real justice to this song and love's diversity.
How come it took me 8 year for me to watch this? Great version for one of Gerry's best hits.
I always loved, loved, loved Gerry Rafferty's version of this song but I must say that Bonnie has done this song proud!!!
love and trust is just that...where ever you can keep that very close and stay true to it.
great version of a great song
Bonnie stays owning it!
Jesus, don't know which version I love more more, this one or Gerry Raferty's original. Perfect Mrs Raitt
Absolutely spot on. You cannot improve on perfection.Nice version but the word NEXT comes into my mind.
ps... I LOVE the video... thank you for doing exactly the way you did. It's beautiful.
