Maybe not racist but still slightly uneducated. She’s moving so “effortlessly” because she’s playing with a capo and it’s a 5-1 Chord progression. (The two chords she needs are Both in her palm, thus no string sliding sound). And it’s really up to the recording engineer to get either mic the fretting band or not. Lots of engineers love that sound because it makes the whole performance sound more natural

I find it interesting to see how she's performed this song through the years. Comparing this brighter, funkier version with the slower, more soul-driven version she performs now, it's clear that this song has changed with her as she's aged. I think it's a beautiful thing to see and hear.

Peter Kennedy If you want to see a song change through the years with an artist, watch Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now. Equally moving.

When I first heard John Prine's song (a long time ago), I thought immediately that Bonnie Raitt should sing it. She did and that's the way it should be.

I had the pleasure of seeing her perform one evening, under the stars. (1990?) Greek Theater in Berkeley on a Summer night. It was comfortable just being there, but I swear, she added 10 degrees of oozing warmth to the experience. She just oozes something. What a voice....and how she just pours and purrs it on. Loved being there and listening to the great Raitt. When she brought out her pianist for "I can't make you love me" the pain was too much.

I went to a Bonnie Raitt concert in Plymouth NH - she was awesome in concert. THEN she actually came and hung out at the restaurant bar I worked at. (We had the best blues band play there). She was just, I thought back then and still do, the coolest and nicest musician I had ever met.
