I went to a James Taylor / Bonnie Raitt concert and the Hollywood bowl a few years back, but Bonnie called out sick . Sheryl Crow filled in. I really would have like to have seen Bonnie.
Nice song above. I wanted to grab my guitar and play along.
The Queen of slide guitar...What an outstanding touch she has on her Stratocaster guitar when she plays blues licks . Beautiful acoustic guitar playing here too.
Raitt says she has long admired artists who continued to stretch well into their careers. On her latest album, she does the same, acknowledging the passage of time without surrendering to nostalgia.

and a conversation with her on All Songs Considered:
I just love Bonnie, who seems to just get better and better with age, and have been seeing her since 1975! My pick from the new album is the closer, so perfectly sad.
