Bonnie is my Queen , beautiful voice, songwriter , and a mean slide guitarist. This woman rocks and has played with every blues and rock guitarists. She has a major catalog .
true. she's all south isn't she? I think of Louisiana or Cajun every time i hear her. not sure why. played w/ Jimme Vaughn too. beleive she attended SRV's funeral and did a eulogy. Just love this artist. the best!
I have never perceived this as Country. She has always sounded more like Southern or Delta Bluesy to me. She is famous as a slide guitarist and has played with several blues musicians, including Stevie Ray Vaughn,
Bruce Hornsby & The Range "The Way It Is" is his most well known and an absolute must listen, but "Mandolin Rain" is probably the one of his that y'all will appreciate the most with the lyricism and musicianship!
Just so you know Bonnie Raitt is arguably the finest blues slide guitar player alive today. She has played with a slew of the great blues players. This rabbithole is deep as her career has spanned 50+ years!
A love song with absolutely no angst or bitterness. It’s IMPRESSIVE. And she is one of the all time great singer/guitarists ever. Also, the video was just as sweet.
Bonnie isn't "country"; she's all BLUES. She has done so much to support older blues artists and reintroduce them to young audiences! You should watch the video of her duet of "Woman, Be Wise" with Sippie Wallace.
The song is definitely "country " with a blues tinge.. particularly the guitar tuning and tempo Not knockibg her blues stuff or blues in general but you can hear the country sound in this
Blues are the glue that holds together country, rock, and most other popular genres of our time. And she's great at it. Always forget how much I like her stuff until I hear it again.
@@AP-gb3eh Blues is definitely the strongest element in this song. But you also have country, rock, pop, and even a little gospel type back up singing. Few songs are 100% pure to their genre.
A&A, you’ll love Bonnie’s “Angel From Montgomery”(cover), "Not the Only One" and “A Thing Called Love”(cover)!!! She is known for her voice and slide guitar!!! Saw her in concert July 1990, great show!!!! edit- She's on slide guitar and the slide guitar solo!!
There's a ton of great songs in her catalog, and she's insanely talented. She won a Grammy in 2023 and Gen Z went nuts....lol But definitely listen to Just Like That. Beautiful song with a deep meaning.
This song was written by Canadian singer-songwriter Shirley Eikhard . That's Bonnie on slide guitar , you guys are lucky to be able to discover her music going back to the 70s !
Bonnie inherited both top tier musical genes and experience from birth from her famous father, musical stage starJohn Raitt. So special when the children turn out just as good or better than the parents at the same craft.
My dad, born in 1930, thought John Raitt was better, but he saw John Raitt on Broadway, but I saw Bonnie Raitt in the mid 70s. We'd go back and forth on who was better! Love Bonnie!
So glad you loved this. Next you need to hear Takin’ My Time-it’s sad and powerful and showcases her vocal depth. And it’s totally under appreciated. Bonnie spoiled me for female artists because she’s the complete package (Joni Mitchell too).
Saw Bonnie in a ski lodge during a massive blizzard that left the lodge with about 20 guests back in 1973. Not only was her performance stellar, but she let the audience buy her drinks and shot the sh*t with us till the wee hours. Best concert of my life. The 2 hour drive home in 3+feet of snow was not so fun.
Bonnie’s debut album was released in 1971. She toured and perfomed relentlessly, running under the radar for almost 20 years until her break out album Nick Of Time won a Grammy in 1989. Luck Of The Draw in 1991 was the next album winning three Grammys including Best Pop Female Performance for Something To Talk About. In 2000 Bonnie Raitt was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Not under the radar many my age In the 70s! I'm 73 now and she was around with Jackson Browne, John Prine, the late Stephen Bruton, don't let me get started!!
America's Sweetheart. Saw her perform at a ski resort near SLC years back. When a lighting storm knocked out the resort's (Snow Bird) power ~20 minutes into her performance, she just picked up an acoustic guitar and sang louder.
Longtime Bonnie fans will know that her early music was more bluesy, and though not well-known, well worth checking out. Some choice cuts: Love Me Like a Man Angel From Montgomery
Queen of the slide guitar. Played the Philly Folk fest when I was 15 in 1971. My friends started talking about her then.......loved her ever since! Another chick who hung out in the Canyon!!
Angel from Montgomery!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ I saw John Prine. Halfway through the show he says “ now I’m gonna play a Bonnie Raitt song, it’s sure not mine anymore” Angel from Montgomery is Bonnie’s song for sure. And it’s soooooo Good! A must listen RIP John you devilish genius
I'm late today - I just let out a lil scream when I saw what you posted today. YES! ♥ Bonnie is a hellava' good guitarist too gentlemen. Love Bonnie - check our her song called "Runaway". It's a cover - not the same song as Bon Jovi - sang it in a bar. Also her song called "Can't Make You Love Me". I've sang that one - her range is good for me. Well... it used to be back when I could sing. *sigh*
I got to see Bonnie Raitt live in the mid 80's and before that I had only heard a few of her songs on the radio and never realized she was the guitarist. After the concert, I was so impressed. Probably the best female guitarist in her style of music (country/blues/rock) ever. And, I would rate her up there with some of the best. She doesn't show it off a lot in most of her music, but when she does WOW. It was a great show and I had a whole new appreciation of her after that.
Bonnie is a Queen 👑 She also surrounds herself with the cream of the crop, musically. I give this woman her flowers all the flowers she deserves, including the way she doesn't mind sharing the spotlight. Her colabs are brilliant, as well. She's how I found John Prine's work, along with so many others'. Her duet with Sippie Wallace on "Don't Adverise Your Man" is juke joint blues perfection. 🙌🙌🙌
I've been hearing her since I was a small kid thanks to mom's collection. She also loved Janis, Phoebe Snow, Joni - I think Tedeschi Trucks Band - Somehow is another mandatory listen.
BONNIE WAS A PHENOMENAL FEMALE ROCK AND BLUES GUUITARIST💯 AND SHE HAS A HUGE MUSIC CATALOG ANDY & ALEX!👍😊 SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN IN MY TOP 3 FEMALES : JONI MITCHELL, KAREN CARPENTER RIP☹ TO THAT ANGEL, AND BONNIE
Bonnie is amazing. I was introduced to her music in the late 70s. She has made me dance, laugh, smile, and cry. I hope she knows how much she is loved and appreciated. Yes, that is her playing the slide guitar. I would like some more, please.
Bonnie is magnificent. You... will... LOVE: 'Have a Heart', 'Nick of Time', 'Too Soon to Tell', 'Thing Called Love'... heck ANY Bonnie song is worth listening to!
Bruce Hornsby is great: from Mandolin Rain, Every Little Kiss to The Way It Is. He's a talent on keys and a lyrical genius. Raitt is a top notch guitarist with sexy vocals. Good one.
All great songs with great piano! If A&A want to choose: The Way It Is is an insightful commentary on racial injustice; Mandolin Rain is a wistful look at lost love prompted by hearing bluegrass music; Every Little Kiss describes missing one's lover when working far from home (maybe an extended stint on a fishing boat). Another great window on Bruce's piano is the Chaka Kahn song "Love Me Still"-- absolutely gorgeous piano shares the spotlight with beautiful vocals by Chaka.
Love, love Bonnie! This song pretty much tells the story of how my husband and I got together. We worked for the same company, he was in the field and I was in the office. This song came out about that time I guess. Anyway, 30 years going strong! Thanks, Bonnie!
In 2000, I had the privilege of seeing a concert with Bonnie Raitt, the Indigo Girls, and Dar Williams. They closed the show with the four women singing "Angel from Montgomery" and it absolutely took my breath away. Bonnie's solo version is top notch, but I'm partial to Susan Tedeschi's "Angel from Montgomery." She's another phenomenal vocalist.
My favorite Bonnie Raitt song is “You”. So lush and dreamy. Susan Tedeschi’s voice always reminds me of Bonnie. And it’s even cooler that they have played and sung together for a performance.
Love Bonnie! I was in a record store one day And I heard this awesome voice I hadn’t heard before. I asked a clerk who she was and that was my introduction. She has so much more!
Bonnie's a great Blues Rock singer and an amazing slide guitarist who did her apprenticeship as a teenager with Blues legends like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and Mississippi Fred McDowell.
If you want an absolute tear-jerker, you need to listen to Just Like That, about organ donation. It won the Grammy for album or record of the year. So powerful!
Bonnie Raitt is rated as one of the top slide guitar players in the world. Her voice in incomparable. Her favorite type of music is Blues and Blues Rock, though she does more pop and pop/rock as well.
Others from Bonnie: “Love Sneakin’ Up on You” is a bluesy banger similar to “Something to Talk About.” “I Can’t Make You Love Me” heartbreaking ballad with Bruce Hornsby on piano.
As a longtime Bonnie Raitt, this is one of my all time favorites. Got to see her live in Connecticut! Yeah I agree! So straightforward and fun! She played blues slide guitar influenced by some blues elders. And her Dad sang on Broadway, not the same style but talented family!
Ahhh Bonnie! You can’t miss with her! She has a song for every vibe and she’s so good on that slide guitar…I have tickets to see her later this year and I’m so excited…it’s gonna be a jam! ❤
One of my favorites from her-- so bouncy! As you noticed, she's not locked into a specific feel, but they definitely elicit thought and emotion. I recommend "Home", "Runaway", and "Nick of Time" for other dimensions of her catalog. As for Bruce Hornsby: Chaka Kahn did a song called "Love Me Still" that showcases everything beautiful in both her singing and Bruce's piano.
Bruce Hornsbey…you definitely need to check him out. Definitely hit That’s Just the Way It Is & Mandolin Rain. P.S. Bonnie Raitt is a legend. A beautiful voice and her lyrics generally tell a nice story.
Love Bonnie Raitt. Check out a live performance! That's her on guitar, she kicks azz. I've been a fan since the 70s. I've seen her live 5 times, once with Bruce Hornsby, Jackson Browne and Shaun Colvin. She has a has a lot of great albums. When she FINALLY won a Grammy for this album I was thrilled. Well deserved. She is, by nature, a blues chick.
Bonnie is my Queen , beautiful voice, songwriter , and a mean slide guitarist. This woman rocks and has played with every blues and rock guitarists. She has a major catalog .
She's amazing 🤩
She is a national treasure, imho.
She might have the best slide guitar tone EVER. Absolutely glorious, like a dark chocolate or stout beer.
This song was written by Canadian Shirley Eikhard.
You guys need to do more Bonnie Raitt...you haven't even scratched the surface of who she is as an artist and a guitarist.
Yes, and not just her post-1989 material. She had some great albums in the 1970s, like "Sweet Forgiveness".
Pls, please…do Bonnie Raitt’s “Gnawin’ On It”…sooo good! Thanks
Oh Bonnie and John Prime
Angel From Montgomery.
John= illegal smile...we spite each
The Judds/Wynona as well.
true. she's all south isn't she? I think of Louisiana or Cajun every time i hear her. not sure why. played w/ Jimme Vaughn too. beleive she attended SRV's funeral and did a eulogy. Just love this artist. the best!

I'd have to go with "The Valley Road". Bruce's left hand is the king of the world in that song.
@@WavesRay And they need to see his hands on the keys for that one.
Mandolin Rain is an absolute favorite
Yes, "Mandolin Rain" is superior. Though I like "The Way It Is", it's a bit whiny.
She's a master of the slide guitar
"master"
They totally missed her exception slide playing in this song.
BB King said she is the best slide guitar player today.
Just so you know Bonnie Raitt is arguably the finest blues slide guitar player alive today. She has played with a slew of the great blues players. This rabbithole is deep as her career has spanned 50+ years!
As far as females guitarist she far and away at the top.Check Colin Linden out he plays with Blackie and The Rodeo Kings.
@1bigrowdy Male or femalle Bonnie is at the top of the list. With Duane Allman gone, the only one I can think of in her league is Ry Cooder!
@@adderman1950 THANK YOU. can we get together and call ourselves and institute? i have been wanting so bad for these guys to look into ry.
@@adderman1950 Derek Trucks is the true heir to the legacy of Duane Allman both in his ability and having been mentored by him.
Trucks is my #1 by a long shot, but she is in the top 5 for sure.
A love song with absolutely no angst or bitterness.
It’s IMPRESSIVE.
And she is one of the all time great singer/guitarists ever.
Also, the video was just as sweet.
Bonnie has been a national treasure for decades. You may have spotted her in the audience during the HEART- STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN tribute video.
Bonnie was in the audience during the Led Zeppelin tribute as she had performed earlier in the evening as part of the tribute to Buddy Guy.
“Nick Of Time” was her comeback LP. Her follow up “Luck Of The Draw” killed it.
Bonnie isn't "country"; she's all BLUES. She has done so much to support older blues artists and reintroduce them to young audiences!
You should watch the video of her duet of "Woman, Be Wise" with Sippie Wallace.
The song is definitely "country " with a blues tinge.. particularly the guitar tuning and tempo Not knockibg her blues stuff or blues in general but you can hear the country sound in this
Blues Rock with a slight country accent. She has a gorgeous duet with John Lee Hooker ☮️
Blues are the glue that holds together country, rock, and most other popular genres of our time. And she's great at it. Always forget how much I like her stuff until I hear it again.
@@timlawrence2759 An element of truth to that but Scots Irish and English folk is the ancestor of much of it too.
@@AP-gb3eh Blues is definitely the strongest element in this song. But you also have country, rock, pop, and even a little gospel type back up singing. Few songs are 100% pure to their genre.
Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, and Stevie Ray Vaughan played concerts together! I saw one- just outstanding!
A&A, you’ll love Bonnie’s “Angel From Montgomery”(cover), "Not the Only One" and “A Thing Called Love”(cover)!!!
She is known for her voice and slide guitar!!! Saw her in concert July 1990, great show!!!!
edit- She's on slide guitar and the slide guitar solo!!
I love how Bonnie Raitt songs have the ability to momentarily slow down life a bit so we all can enjoy its gifts!! Great tune .
This whole album "Nick of Time" (also grammy winner that year.) is an "S Tier" for greatness.
All the best,
M-
There's a ton of great songs in her catalog, and she's insanely talented. She won a Grammy in 2023 and Gen Z went nuts....lol But definitely listen to Just Like That. Beautiful song with a deep meaning.

Wow, lucky….it was a good day for you.
So much talent in this woman, and that voice just grabs you.
Melissa Ethridge "Im The Only One" She is also a singer-songwriter who plays guitar. She's a beast 2 Grammys Best Rock Vocalist & 1 Academy Award
Two more of her biggest songs:
"Ain't It Heavy"
"Come To My Window"
Yes some Melissa Etheridge is definitely called for.

Under the radar ... no way. She always sold out concerts here in Richmond. Idol of many guitar, blues, and female artists.
Not under the radar many my age In the 70s! I'm 73 now and she was around with Jackson Browne, John Prine, the late Stephen Bruton, don't let me get started!!
America's Sweetheart. Saw her perform at a ski resort near SLC years back. When a lighting storm knocked out the resort's (Snow Bird) power ~20 minutes into her performance, she just picked up an acoustic guitar and sang louder.
She’s a real Blues voice. I liked all of her sings on the first album I bought of hers. Her dad is an opera singer. She’s been around a long time.
Longtime Bonnie fans will know that her early music was more bluesy, and though not well-known, well worth checking out.
Some choice cuts:
Love Me Like a Man
Angel From Montgomery
Mighty Tight Woman is a fun one from her debut too.
I'd suggest "About to Make Me Leave Home" or "The Glow".
Absolutely!
Goosebumps -- just reading "Angel from Montgomery" ...
Angel From Montgomery is such a great storytelling song, written by the amazing storyteller, John Prine.
One of my absolute favorites!!
I’m still saying, check out Bonnie’s collaboration with John Lee Hooker, I’m In the Mood, from his album The Healer (1989).
FINALLY!! Ms. Bonnie Raitt!! I have been requesting her for at least a year. Thanx Gents!!💜
Her on the slide guitar.....PERFECTION
Queen of the slide guitar. Played the Philly Folk fest when I was 15 in 1971. My friends started talking about her then.......loved her ever since! Another chick who hung out in the Canyon!!
Angel from Montgomery!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw John Prine. Halfway through the show he says “ now I’m gonna play a Bonnie Raitt song, it’s sure not mine anymore”
Angel from Montgomery is Bonnie’s song for sure.
And it’s soooooo
Good!
A must listen
RIP John you devilish genius
Bonnie is a world class slide guitartist. She's been killin' it for years. I saw her life back in 1972, great show ant talent.
Runaway, a great cover. Bonnie on slide.
Bonnie has a full catalog of great music. Decades of material. Thanks guys for showcasing her today.
"Angel from Montgomery" is a beautiful song from Bonnie. Also "A Thing Called Love" is rockin and so fun. Love Bonnie Raitt.
Thing Called Love is also another one of her fun, upbeat ones
Bonnie is an old school icon. Very respected guitarist singer writer.
One of the most underrated artists!
And this great song was written by an underrated 🇨🇦 singer-songwriter, Ms Shirley Eikhard!
This is the best busting out of the friendzone song of all time.

She won a Grammy last year for song of the year. Check out "Just Like That". She wrote it.
Raise your hand if you still have this CD.
Continue with Bonnie…must see her Live! To see her work her slide guitar is just Cool!
Next - Nick of Time

"Thing Called Love" -- Bonnie Raitt, written by John Hiatt [or his original]
Bonnie is magnificent. You... will... LOVE: 'Have a Heart', 'Nick of Time', 'Too Soon to Tell', 'Thing Called Love'... heck ANY Bonnie song is worth listening to!
One of the best albums of the 90s. S-plus all day
Bonnie's talent is timeless! I've seen her twice with James Taylor and once in a small venue, unplugged. This is one of my favorites. Such a groove.
Nice. YES, please do some Bruce Hornsby
Suggest "The Way it Is" with The Range, as well as "Love Me Still" by Chaka Kahn.
"Harbor Lights", with a Pat Metheny guitar solo! And Bonnie Raitt sang backup on his song "Rainbow's Cadillac".
@@scottmarleneking6298 Great suggestions!

In 2000, I had the privilege of seeing a concert with Bonnie Raitt, the Indigo Girls, and Dar Williams. They closed the show with the four women singing "Angel from Montgomery" and it absolutely took my breath away.
Bonnie's solo version is top notch, but I'm partial to Susan Tedeschi's "Angel from Montgomery." She's another phenomenal vocalist.
Speaking of very talented female artists/guitarists/vocalists/musicians,, The Indigo Girls "Closer To Fine" & "Galileo" 🔥❤️🔥
Don’t forget guys, she’s the guitarist, she has some songs where she rips some blues on the guitar, she’s known for playing a guild
"Nick of Time" is a favorite.
She's a very talented woman.
Have a great day.
You can’t go wrong with anything Bonnie!❤
This song is note-perfect. I wouldn't change anything about it. Excellent!
My favorite Bonnie Raitt song is “You”. So lush and dreamy. Susan Tedeschi’s voice always reminds me of Bonnie. And it’s even cooler that they have played and sung together for a performance.
Fun fact Rait is a village in Perthshire in Scotland and that is the origin of her Raitt surname.
I generally don't care for "country" music, but I could listen Bonnie all day!!!!
Love Bonnie. Another great one from her. She plays a mean slide, too.
This is an excellent song, a big hit for Bonnie. Always top tier musicians on her recordings and quality production. I really like her.
One of my top five female recording artists. Her slide dobro work is soooo tasty too.
Love Bonnie! I was in a record store one day And I heard this awesome voice I hadn’t heard before. I asked a clerk who she was and that was my introduction. She has so much more!
Bonnie's a great Blues Rock singer and an amazing slide guitarist who did her apprenticeship as a teenager with Blues legends like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Yes yes yes do the way it is
If you want an absolute tear-jerker, you need to listen to Just Like That, about organ donation. It won the Grammy for album or record of the year. So powerful!
Bonnie Raitt is rated as one of the top slide guitar players in the world. Her voice in incomparable. Her favorite type of music is Blues and Blues Rock, though she does more pop and pop/rock as well.
Yes do "The Way it is" It has a great social message, plus great musically.
The music is not them it’s her. The guitar dudes, listen again. It’s magic
She’s great. Her voice is so versatile.
Finally real talent ❤😂🎉😊😊😊😊😊❤❤ go deep here guys. Worth the journey
This is a nice jam! Love Bonnie's voice!
Others from Bonnie: “Love Sneakin’ Up on You” is a bluesy banger similar to “Something to Talk About.”
“I Can’t Make You Love Me” heartbreaking ballad with Bruce Hornsby on piano.
She was one of the backup singers for Roy Orbison, when he did his black and white night
As a longtime Bonnie Raitt, this is one of my all time favorites. Got to see her live in Connecticut! Yeah I agree! So straightforward and fun! She played blues slide guitar influenced by some blues elders. And her Dad sang on Broadway, not the same style but talented family!
Just one of the few women in rock and blues at that time. Incredible. 🎸🤘🏼💃🏼
Great Great slide guitar player
So much talent and cool in one lady.
She and her band are wonderful live, even to this day. Fun stuff
Ahhh Bonnie! You can’t miss with her! She has a song for every vibe and she’s so good on that slide guitar…I have tickets to see her later this year and I’m so excited…it’s gonna be a jam! ❤
Every song on the Luck of the Draw album is terrific. It won the Grammy for Album of the Year. For me, it's in the top 25 of my favorite albums!
Thanks for covering Bonnie. She has always been raitted very highly.
One of my favorites from her-- so bouncy! As you noticed, she's not locked into a specific feel, but they definitely elicit thought and emotion. I recommend "Home", "Runaway", and "Nick of Time" for other dimensions of her catalog. As for Bruce Hornsby: Chaka Kahn did a song called "Love Me Still" that showcases everything beautiful in both her singing and Bruce's piano.
Bonnie can do no wrong and yes The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby is indeed brilliant ❤
Her music puts me in a good mood. Awesome slide guitar.
Bonnie's unmistakable slide is as distinctive as that voice.
Early career is lots of blues. She is a great blues player…slide guitar. She is a highly under rated artist
Bonnie is sooooo great.
Perfect song from a perfect album.
Bruce Hornsbey…you definitely need to check him out. Definitely hit That’s Just the Way It Is & Mandolin Rain.
P.S. Bonnie Raitt is a legend. A beautiful voice and her lyrics generally tell a nice story.
This song was big when my husband-to-be and I first met, and it's always been our song
Love Bonnie Raitt. Check out a live performance! That's her on guitar, she kicks azz. I've been a fan since the 70s. I've seen her live 5 times, once with Bruce Hornsby, Jackson Browne and Shaun Colvin. She has a has a lot of great albums. When she FINALLY won a Grammy for this album I was thrilled. Well deserved.
