    Some random facts about Bonnie from a long-time fan. She is the daughter of John Raitt, a Broadway/Hollywood musical actor from the 50's. She 1st made a mark in the NY folk scene in the late 60's, along with her friend Jackson Browne. Her 1st record came out in 1972 (I bought it!) & she released a new record this year & was just on the Colbert Show. She is one of the best bottleneck guitar players -- look at the slide she uses on the frets of the guitar. She is fabulous!!!

She's doing a cover of the breathtakingly great original by Sippie Wallace (one of Bonnie Raitt's mentors) -- ruclips.net/video/sYFUaGb4C1M/видео.html. The original was released in 1929 -- a remarkable number by a remarkable woman.

      Her 1st record was self titled released in 1971. Her second was released in 1972 called Give It Up that put her on the map. It was shortly after that release that I first saw her at the Philharmonic in NYC. Seen her twice since here in StLouis, once following Chris Isaack as opening act, and she was follwed by Don Henley. Wow -what a show.

We weren’t in a small town, we were in the Phoenix area, but all his brothers and his friends worked at the ASU bookstore, which was a very small community.
    No matter how much we denied it, everyone else saw something we didn’t. We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. lol

    Bonnie's first record came out in 1971. By 1986, most people considered her career to be over, but she made a huge comeback in 1989 after a stint in rehab. So huge in fact that the album "Nick of Time" bypassed everything she'd done before. She has an incredible back catalog for you to get lost in.

    • @DavidMichaelCommer
      @DavidMichaelCommer 2 года назад +2

      @@angelagoodwin5758 She sounds very country to me and always has. I have always liked her music and, while I hate to admit this, I always sort of resented that I liked her music because I thought it was country music. When I read she is from Burbank, California, it made me feel like I had permission to like her. That made me have to confront my prejudices against country music, and since then, I have been more open to different genres of music, having set aside some of my biases.
      I find it interesting that this California/ New York girl looks so "country" and sings with what sounds like a Southern twang-but then, so do (Canadian) Shania Twain and (Australian) Olivia Newton-John and Keith Urban, et al.
      Bonnie Raitt has such an interesting life. Born in California, she went to a Quaker boarding school in New York state, she went to Harvard University and majored in African studies. And yet I assumed she was a country girl from the South because of the sound of her music. It's always humbling to find out you've made assumptions about a person's background based on something superficial such as how they look or sound and then find out you've been ignorant and are totally wrong about who they are. Every time that happens in life, I feel like I become a little bit of a better person. I really love the style and sound of her music, and it doesn't matter ultimately what genre anyone assigns to her.

    Hard to believe Bonnie (now 72) put out her first album 51 years ago. If you want to check out one of her EARLY songs, check out her cover of the Martha and the Vandellas song "You've Been in Love Too Long". "Keep this Heart in Mind" was one of her early 80s songs, but it was in 1990 when she put out "Nick of Time" that she really made a splash on mainstream radio. Her 1991 album "Luck of the Draw" sold over 7 million copies, featuring hits like this, "I Can't Make You Love Me", and "Not the Only One". Great choice for Female Friday!

    Bonnie Raitt loves the blues dipped with a little country sauce. She notably ran with the best bles artists in history and even set up a fund to support those who were truly down on their luck. B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmie Vaughn, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, to name a few all love this woman, who also has a special guitar named for her. Her parents were celebrated performers of the stage. And her album NICK OF TIME swept the 1990 Grammy Awards when it still meant something. There were hard times to be sure. But she survived and triumphed.
    For a taste of a brilliant pairing listen to Bonnie Raitt and B.B. King play off each other on a cover BABY, I LOVE YOU, from the album, DUECES WILD.
    And turn on Bonnie for her song, A THING CALLED LOVE.
    The pairing of Bonnie with John Lee Hooker on BOOM BOOM has already been mentioned. But there is a ways to go here with this woman. Her slide guitar is as subtle and ruthless as the raw glorious power of her beautiful voice. Enjoy.

    The banjo player Bela Fleck once opened for Bonnie Raitt, and at the end of the tour, she gave him her slide ring. So Bela Fleck wrote a tune, using the slide ring on the banjo. Check out Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, "Bonnie and Slyde."

    Love Bonnie, the two songs you have listened to were from the mid 80’s when She broke out with a ton of Grammies and sold a lot of Records. Love it. My favorite is a king from the early 70’s when she was struggling, “ Angel From Montgomery “. She still performs that song in her concerts. Bonnie took about 10 years off to take care of her sick mother, after Mom passed Bonnie eased back into recording and touring. That showed character that she set her career on the side instead of just hiring someone. Bonnie is often considered one of the best slide guitarist around and often plays with the southern/Chicago Blues masters and fits right in. Good pick up Jay.

    Bonnie Raitt is and has been an amazing artist for a long time. Fell in love with her voice 30 years ago! She's also tied to one of my personal favorite events in music. On May 9, 1974, she was the headliner at the Harvard Square Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts A music critic for Rolling Stone and "The Real Paper" named Jon Landau was in attendance. The opening act was a down and almost out Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. A few days later, Landau would write possibly the best known review in rock music; "I saw rock and roll future and its name is Bruce Springsteen". Bonnie was apparently one of the few artists who would have Bruce as an opening act. She's in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Need to dig out some more of her music...
