You relived it with this post and I almost felt like I was there. I cried like a baby when John Prine died. 😢

[@anilkapahi8788]

One of the most perfect songs that have ever been written. "I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man is another Child who's grown old If dreams were lightning And thunder were desire This old house would've burned down A long time ago" If John Prine had never written another song after this he would be one of the immortals and this version is one of the best.

[@sandralarson-gonzales3797]

Written by John Prine

[@AbbyNormal777]

The song was written by the late John Prine who was an excellent songwriter.

[@oldfisherman5112]

I was lucky enough to hear both her and John prine sing it together live. Saw each by themselves multiple times. I love this song. Funny side note . My favorite bonnie raitt songs were written by other artist. Angel from montgomery - john prine That song about a midway - joni mitchell My opening farewell- jackson browne My little runaway - slips my mind at the moment , all great song and all made better by bonnie

[@kent.merritt]

Another brilliant lyric: How the hell can a person Go to work in the morning And come home in the evening And have nothing to say

[@jimwocha4949]

John prine was a genius song writer. Some of the best country rock songs ever written. I'm a Brit who was brought up on Prine, Mitchell, Taylor, Crosby, stills and Nash, Dylan etc. My parents lived in the states for 4 years in the early 70s and these songs were their soundtrack.

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.

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

Her cover is an incredible tribute to JP.

[@leonelewis59]

She's even more responsible for people being familiar with it than John himself. Her 1974 recording brought it widespread attention.

WOW Bonnie Raitt so young and beautiful... she's always beautiful, but I've never seen what she looked like when she was young! one of my hero's that's for sure!. I met her when I was a busser in a restaurant and she had so much charisma and kindness!

The best version of this song. Thanks!

[@NilsamNY]

Bonnie is national treasure.

[@GBeret83]

RIP to the one and only John Prine. I've listened to his albums all day long and have choked back the tears as each song reminds me more and more how the soundtrack of Prine's career owns a paper on my whole damn life. RIP great one, you truly were a national treasure that belongs in our national archives. As Edwin Stanton said of President Abraham Lincoln after his tragic death, "And Now He Belongs To The Ages."

Thank you, Ms. Raitt for the many decades of memories.

[@egrogshub]

Really brings back the memories of good times in 1970s Arizona. FANTASTIC! Thank you for posting.

[@paintchick1]

If you've been fortunate enough to have seen Bonnie Raitt recently, you will know that she sounds as good today as she did in the 70's

[@rickytleg]

+Paula D Probably even better! I'm Scottish, live in Spain and gonna see her in Frankfurt, Germany June 7th. Can't wait. I've seen her a few times in Scotland. Like a good wine, gets better with age. That voice...............!

[@keisreeman]

I saw Bonnie at the Terminal Bar in NE Mpls circa 1985. She showed up, out of the blue, at a Pat Hayes/Lamont Cranston gig. She was so good made me forget why I went.

[@samsever69]

I will make the effort to see her soon...

Just saw Bonnie with James Taylor a couple of weeks ago. Yeah she still has it

[@John-zl1dd]

I saw her just right after her first album came out in Minneapolis ! She was n is so incredible! She commented about all the blonde boys here! I was one of them I fell so hard for her and her refreshing music ! When she came out at the Grammys with a doobie man that was all of it ! It was about time ,! Look at the applause she got !

[@johnscott7995]

I never heard this song before tonight. It's so powerful and touching. Wow. Incredible performance. I knew the name Bonnie Raitt, I wish I had known sooner.

[@russyeatman5631]

No worries Brother. She is all over youtube.

[@harrymingelickr883]

She is a Great Talet. JOHN PRINE is the Author

[@tonamiller6850]

So, How has your journey into John and Bonnie gone? Which others do you love? (Songs)

[@se9f282]

No one has that voice, smooth, with wisdom and blues, all at once. Props to her backup singers as well.

[@nathanb780]

The sadness of this song is both enchanting and haunting. A true work of art.

[@brentbarrett4146]

You will be greatly missed John Prime. I guess you're an angel now.

[@rjreis1]

No doubt, John is in heaven forming a band having a cocktail and a 9 mile long cigarette and writing songs for the angles.

[@judyblaine5309]

How the hell indeed best line ever,I wondered that a million days,I'm not a songwriter or I'd have written it myself,music is my world,this bonnie,john ,bob Dylan etc,amen

As I sit here weeping, all I can say is Dear Lord, please hold John close to you. What a loss for us, and what a gain for heaven.

Bonnie Lynn Raitt (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues singer-songwriter and slide guitar player. During the 1970s, Raitt released a series of roots-influenced albums which incorporated elements of blues, rock, folk and country. In the 1990s she had a major return to form with the release of her album "Nick of Time" after several years of critical acclaim but little commercial success. The following two albums "Luck of the Draw" and "Longing in Their Hearts" were also multi million sellers generating several hit singles including "Something to Talk About", "Love Sneakin' Up on You", and the ballad "I Can't Make You Love Me" (with Bruce Hornsby on piano). Raitt has received ten Grammy Awards. She is listed as number 50 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and number 89 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.....Eddie

[@billcarey2235]

I remember seing Bonnie in the Apple in Central Square Cambridge in1970.She was nt famous then.Iwasnt either

[@rickpitzl9825]

God bless anyone who relates to this, the rest are not connected

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

I fell in love with her first album...I saw her many times in the beginning and had the pleasure of she and Little Feat on the same bill. She's blues and there are many newer artists today that are talented real musicians....Danielle Nicole, Samantha Fish, Amanda Fish, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Beth Hart, Ally Venable they can sing and play! Thank goodness because radio sucks!
