    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.

    Beautiful song... Have the old LP from Gerry Rafferty... and Bonnie you have done the song justice and have honored the music of GR. 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.

    Absolutely love this and can't stop listening to it. I can't believe it's taken me this long to appreciate this woman's talent, but now I'm going back through her whole catalog. She is one of a kind. And still bringin' it at 62 with just as much passion and emotion as ever.

      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 Před 7 lety +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....

    Bonnie is timeless. I love her take on this song. I appreciate her boldness and stand on how she feels about love. Many may not respect her openness to other kinds of love but I respect her and also agree with her. Keeping the blues spirit alive to this day. Love ya, Bonnie. Thank you for being such an inspirational artist and strong voice in music and in society.

    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!! :)

    You know I need your love
    You've got that hold over me
    Long as I've got your love
    You know that I'll never leave
    When I wanted you to share my life
    I had no doubt in my mind
    And it's been you woman
    Right down the line
    I know how much I lean on you
    Only you can see
    The changes that I've been through
    Have left a mark on me
    You've been as constant as a Northern Star
    The brightest light that shines
    It's been you woman right down the line
    I just wanna say this is my way
    Of tellin' you everything
    I could never say before
    Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
    That every day I'm lovin' you so much more
    'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
    Put somethin' better inside of me
    You brought me into the light
    Threw away all those crazy dreams
    I put them all behind
    And it was you woman
    Right down the line
    I just wanna say this is my way of tellin' you everything
    I could never say before
    Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
    Everything I could never say before
    Yeah this is my way of tellin' you
    That every day I'm lovin' you so much more
    If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground
    I won't turn to someone else
    They'd only let me down
    When I wanted you to share my life
    I had no doubt in my mind
    And it's been you woman
    Right down the line

    I love this reggae take on one of my favorite songs!! Bonnie Raitt _NEVER_ does what I call a karaoke cover, where it’s pretty much identical to the original (or most popular cover, and I’m thinking of Henry Nilsson’s cover of “Without You,” by Badfinger). Nope! Thank goodness, Raitt is way too good to do that, a consummate musician and performer.
