    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

    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.

    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.

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.

    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 ❤️💞

  • @AFremen
    @AFremen 7 років тому +1

    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....

    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!! :)
