    I almost choked on my water when you asked if there was any more music of hers you could listen to. You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole of Bonnie Raitt is. She has been performing for over 50 years and just won a Grammy for song of the year for 2023! Besides having a marvelous voice she is probably the best blues slide guitar player alive today. She is an absolute American Treasure! You could literally spend years listening to her music! Incidentaskly she is the real deal, no autone or pitch correction nonsense!

    What amazes me is that a music lover, one who is supposedly in a position of authority to "comment" on musicians, has never heard of Bonnie Raitt or listened to her music. She is one class act and a favorite of mine for many decades.

    Bonnie is a super star blues singer, slide guitar player, has played and sung with legends like BB King, John lee hooker. Absolutely thrilled with your reaction. "Let's Give 'Em Something To Talk About" is great, a sample of her guitar expertise in "A Thing Called Love". Thank You so much for this Bonnie Raitt treat! Looking forward to your reactions to more of her songs.

    @marcuspi999 Pƙed rokem

    Yeah, she's the original. When you say this version is less dressed, I'm sure you mean what most call less produced. You're absolutely right with Bonnie. She's the kind of artist who is, in my opinion, best listened to totally raw and live. She can just sit there, alone, with an acoustic guitar and nothing else and be fabulous. She won a Grammy for this song. She's actually won 15 of them, including one tonight for song of the year.

    @drewby613 Pƙed 2 lety +41

    I think your comparison to the Swims version was very apt. I would say that Teddy Swims version was like a cry of pain, but her version is just deeply, deeply sad--heartbroken, beyond crying, to the point of sheer emotional exhaustion. Hearing it almost brought tears to my eyes, and I knew this song decades ago when it first came out. The smoothness, the richness of her voice, the long tones, amazing breath control, almost seem to create a calm background against which her despair crashes quietly, but powerfully. This album came out right during the break-up of my first marriage, and it was on all the time. Nick of Time is the name of the album, and there isn't a bad cut on it.

    Bonnie Raitt is a truly great lady with a heartfelt and beautiful voice. She also walked the walk and is co-founder of the Blues Foundation, which has helped many artists get their deserved royalties and helped many other artists in tangible ways when no one else cared about their cause. She is the real deal. My highest respect for her.

    The original studio version features a gorgeous piano accompaniment by Bruce Hornsby (who, if you're not yet familiar with him and his group, Bruce Hornsby and The Range, you should check them out). Hornsby is one of those musicians who has a very identifiable style and sound, and his contribution to the original record was significant, adding to the general feeling of heartbreak and resignation in the song. Of course, Bonnie's amazing vocal is the key factor, but Hornsby's playing deepens the effect.

    Her version of John Prine's Angel from Montgomery is one of, if not the epitome of Bonnie's classic (late 70s early 80s) period. This one being the same for the early '90s period. For a more upbeat song, "Let's Give Them Something to Talk About" also from the same album and also good.

    She is the daughter of John Raitt a Broadway singer/actor, I remember him in the original play Oklahoma. She started singing with the old black blues singers when she was a young teenager. I love her voice and music. I saw her perform this in concert with thousands of fans, you could have heard a pin drop because everyone was focused on her performance. I see her everytime she comes to town.

    Bonnie has been doing this for nearly 50 years. Folk, blues, rock, she made a "comeback' with this release. BUT those of us who have listened to her for so long never saw her leave. A fine woman who helped women of my generation be strong and bold.

    Bonnie who has a long and distinguished career as a musician and singer followed in her Father's (John Raitt) footsteps whose career was that of a singer in musical theater. I saw Bonnie perform at the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival in 1970 or 71, anyways, when we were both quite young.

    This is one of the most beautiful songs that I've ever heard. Not only because of the melody and way she sings it but because of the meaning behind it. There are not many pains in life that can compare to the pain of being in love with someone that does not love you. As the song implies, there is nothing , nothing, nothing that you can do about it...and it really hurts when you actually realize it.

    Raitt has received 10 Grammy Awards. She since 1971 she has sung with icons. Pretty much anything she touches is golden. "Nick of Time" album got to #1 in the US in 1990. She is a 'quiet' activist in everything from clean energy and anti-apartheid to Farm Aid and Amnesty International.

    This is the traditional singer/songwriter. She doesn’t sing covers, only her own songs, although this wasn’t written by her, it is written for her. To me this is an amazing woman’s song. Many of us have had similar situations. “I’ll feel the power, but you won’t”. Her writing, her voice and her guitar playing are top level.

I had just ended a relationship with a man I hoped to marry but we weren't good for each other and this song was released the same month...very fitting. I think you'll love most of her music.

I will always remember getting to see her live in concert back when I was 19.. it was the most incredible experience & I had backstage passes,so I got to meet her in person & I had to seriously chuckle because I never realized how short or small she really was until I met her face to face.. I love pretty much all of her music.. Have a Heart & Thing Called Love & Something to Talk About are some of my favorites.. Her voice is slightly raspy & yet so soothing to the senses. She’s just amazing.

    One of the most beautifulist songs ever written, suberbly sung by Bonnie Raitt. Is this the performance with Bruce Hornsby on piano? What an all-around outstanding performance, my favorite rendition. I think George Michael also did a wonderful rendition of this song, but I still like Bonnie's version the best, her voice, her inflection, her intonation, all make this version something very special, plus, if truth be told, it has some very special meaning for me, but some very good memories also. By Bonnie's appearance, this song has very special meaning to her also, she must have written it in response to a tragic experience, but we all go on. Bravo, Bonnie, Bravo.

    A beautiful, enchantingly painful song written by a guy with an unbelievable story - Mike Reid. An All American at Penn State and a 2 time Pro Bowl defensive lineman for the Cincinnati Bengals, he quit the NFL at age 26 to focus on his music. Not the sort of person you associate with this gift. A big, tough freak of nature defensive lineman? Mike went on to write twelve #1 songs, including this one. He's a legend in Happy Valley, Cincinnati and Nashville. And anywhere else he's ever taken the stage.

      Mike Reid is an interesting guy. He was a recently retired pro football player when he wrote this song, having played for the Cincinnati Bengals. He became a successful Nashville songwriter selling his work mostly to country artists, but occasionally to crossover artists like this. He also tried his hand at singing himself. He recorded his own version of "I Can't Make You Love Me" after Raitt. His version has a very different tone and is interesting for comparison's sake, but the song inherently seems to work better from a female perspective.
