[@garywilson5103]

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.

[@reddoxx4754]

Yes, and not just her post-1989 material. She had some great albums in the 1970s, like "Sweet Forgiveness".

[@pattytyndall1021]

Pls, please…do Bonnie Raitt’s “Gnawin’ On It”…sooo good! Thanks

[@terriemartinez9989]

Oh Bonnie and John Prime Angel From Montgomery. John= illegal smile...we spite each

[@nicholasmckibbin1510]

The Judds/Wynona as well.

[@boxerpaws55]

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!

[@donnabruhn6907]

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 .

[@Kim-hc5si]

She's amazing 🤩

[@carwil1958]

She is a national treasure, imho.

[@David-iv6je]

She might have the best slide guitar tone EVER. Absolutely glorious, like a dark chocolate or stout beer.

[@dougellis8904]

This song was written by Canadian Shirley Eikhard.

[@RadCenter]

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.

[@martinjackman2943]

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

[@AP-gb3eh]

Blues Rock with a slight country accent. She has a gorgeous duet with John Lee Hooker ☮️

[@timlawrence2759]

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.

[@martinjackman2943]

@@timlawrence2759 An element of truth to that but Scots Irish and English folk is the ancestor of much of it too.

[@ffjsb]

@@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.

[@adderman1950]

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!

[@1bigrowdy]

As far as females guitarist she far and away at the top.Check Colin Linden out he plays with Blackie and The Rodeo Kings.

[@adderman1950]

@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!

[@bluebell320]

@@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.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

@@adderman1950 Derek Trucks is the true heir to the legacy of Duane Allman both in his ability and having been mentored by him.

[@Fawkes318]

Trucks is my #1 by a long shot, but she is in the top 5 for sure.

[@markalumbaugh2756]

She's a master of the slide guitar

[@michaelcoy8625]

"master"

[@c.j.7752]

They totally missed her exception slide playing in this song.

[@texashookem22]

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!

[@WavesRay]

I'd have to go with "The Valley Road". Bruce's left hand is the king of the world in that song.

[@janleonard3101]

@@WavesRay And they need to see his hands on the keys for that one.

[@joannemoyer5525]

Mandolin Rain is an absolute favorite

[@tonyfair487]

Yes, "Mandolin Rain" is superior. Though I like "The Way It Is", it's a bit whiny.

[@user-dq5xx9hi4q]

Bonnie has been a national treasure for decades. You may have spotted her in the audience during the HEART- STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN tribute video.

[@jlocke78759]

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.

[@jomama2757]

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,

[@James_St._James]

This is the best busting out of the friendzone song of all time.

[@moniphil]

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

[@burmajones803]

Mighty Tight Woman is a fun one from her debut too.

[@reddoxx4754]

I'd suggest "About to Make Me Leave Home" or "The Glow".

[@denisetowe895]

Absolutely!

[@FanOblues51]

Goosebumps -- just reading "Angel from Montgomery" ...

[@roncypert8255]

Angel From Montgomery is such a great storytelling song, written by the amazing storyteller, John Prine. One of my absolute favorites!!

[@stevenmix3723]

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.

[@danacasey8543]

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!

[@rockitflash]

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.

[@njchenault]

Under the radar ... no way. She always sold out concerts here in Richmond. Idol of many guitar, blues, and female artists.

[@BOOMNERD51]

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!!

[@todvball]

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 .

[@billmacleod1397]

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 !

[@charlestwisted9890]

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.

[@edh3709]

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.

[@surlechapeau]

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!!

[@dwinkleman]

Next you should do Angel from Montgomery next written by the great John Prine.

[@oregonchick76]

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.

[@jamesjohnston9225]

Nice. YES, please do some Bruce Hornsby

[@scottmarleneking6298]

Suggest "The Way it Is" with The Range, as well as "Love Me Still" by Chaka Kahn.

[@reddoxx4754]

"Harbor Lights", with a Pat Metheny guitar solo! And Bonnie Raitt sang backup on his song "Rainbow's Cadillac".

[@jamesjohnston9225]

[@jamesjohnston9225]

[@randyhall5165]

Runaway, a great cover. Bonnie on slide.

[@markmurphy558]

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.

[@brendahhstiles9992]

Wow, lucky….it was a good day for you.

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

“Nick Of Time” was her comeback LP. Her follow up “Luck Of The Draw” killed it.

[@acpmc93]

Raise your hand if you still have this CD.

[@gwydion56]

So much talent in this woman, and that voice just grabs you.

[@auldfouter8661]

Fun fact Rait is a village in Perthshire in Scotland and that is the origin of her Raitt surname.

[@carladicarlo3255]

Bonnie is an old school icon. Very respected guitarist singer writer.

[@morgananderson9647]

This whole album "Nick of Time" (also grammy winner that year.) is an "S Tier" for greatness. All the best, M-

"Thing Called Love" -- Bonnie Raitt, written by John Hiatt [or his original]

[@debbiefoxx7404]

She has an amazing voice. My favorite from her. 🎶

[@clifton8929]

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.

[@SisterMidnite]

Just wait till you hear her do Angel From Montgomery with the incredible John Prine! Hint hint!

[@DM-hk4cw]

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.

[@scottmarleneking6298]

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.

[@REDJR22]

Bonnie has a full catalog of great music. Decades of material. Thanks guys for showcasing her today.

[@sesky1954]

Great Great slide guitar player

[@samhnatiuk1922]

I generally don't care for "country" music, but I could listen Bonnie all day!!!!

[@sundayze]

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!

[@SaverioP]

Love Bonnie. Another great one from her. She plays a mean slide, too.

[@kestrelhill]

This song was big when my husband-to-be and I first met, and it's always been our song

[@kellypickle]

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

[@cindynau8068]

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.

[@beyeringly]

The music is not them it’s her. The guitar dudes, listen again. It’s magic

[@davidbooth7778]

One of my top five female recording artists. Her slide dobro work is soooo tasty too.

[@Raittway]

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.

This is an excellent song, a big hit for Bonnie. Always top tier musicians on her recordings and quality production. I really like her.

Oh, snap; Ghost In This House! I'll disagree with the VERSION though; the one from LIVE, is pretty special.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

@cdlehner511 Agreed & Am not at all against that version..I just think that it's important for reactors first time reacting to a song should be just as we all first heard it,, Studio Version & Then after that,, Of course they should listen/watch the live/other versions as well.

[@KT-ty7lq]

Angel From Montgomery next please...and how about Bonnie's slide guitar??

[@garyr8739]

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.

[@marcgordon6604]

Great tune and it doesn't scratch the surface of how great she is.

"Angel from Montgomery" is a beautiful song from Bonnie. Also "A Thing Called Love" is rockin and so fun. Love Bonnie Raitt.

[@BOOMNERD51]

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!

Thanks for covering Bonnie. She has always been raitted very highly.

[@judyludlum2371]

[@leannerwin342]

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.

[@marcbenjamin9436]

She’s great. Her voice is so versatile.

[@reddoxx4754]

The keyboards on this song were played by Scott Thurston, a session musician who also played with The Stooges, The Motels, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The only song on "Luck of the Draw" where Bruce Hornsby played was "I Can't Make You Love Me".

[@rosemarywatson1231]

This is a nice jam! Love Bonnie's voice!

[@jaquestraw1]

Hornsby also played keys with the Grateful Dead for some time.

[@iluvj50]

Perfect song from a perfect album.

[@scottmarleneking6298]

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.

[@lisahaverluk4037]

[@oliviacat7752]

"Nick of Time" is one of my favorite Bonnie Raitt songs.

[@chrisjaybecker4395]

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.

[@joanfisher1079]

Love Bonnie. Tjis song was the title musical track for the Film with the same name starring Dennis Quaid and Julia Robert's. Can't go wrong with Bonnie as she keeps her rock and blues flavor in all she does. You should listen to one of her first hits, Runaway, which was a cover but totally bluesified.

[@scottsnyder2726]

My favorite recording of hers is “Blender Blues, recorded at Sigma Sound Studios in Philly 22-Feb-1972. An early career song, much less produced, but shows her incredible talent and youthful spirit

[@jeffk2526]

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!

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

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.

I promise the her range, tone, and story telling will blow your mind on this track, song is "Guilty". It will move you!

[@maggiedub]

Such a happy tune. You can’t be in a bad mood when this is playing. ❤

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.

Guys, so glad you did this, and of course - loved it. Couple of things, Bonnie's on the slide quitar - check out Love Me Like A Man from her. For writing try her 2022 grammy winner Just Like That. Or her biggest hit, 'Can't Make You Love Me' So many good choices with Bonnie and you'll love them all.
