Ms.Raitt spent a great deal of time in N.Miss.with Fred &lots other blues artist ,some renowed ,alot of others she spent time and with are trend setters and composers ,such as she's considered.that the fact,jack,i have seen her way back in the day sorta sneakin' in out of n.ms.& w.tenn.
This is pretty nice but the original Fred Mc Dowell is just raw pure emotion and no white baby boomer is ever going to do do justice to this song. Much as i love Bonnie Raitt.... ( and spoken as another white Baby Boomer)
@Kajukenbomamma I had this one on VHS too and almost wore it out playing it. I got to see her on this tour and I met her after the show I saw all because my car was parked close to her busses and I wanted to wait for the parkinglot to clear out. I took up guitar shortly after that. Still can't play slide to save my life but this song always gives me goosebumps & makes me smile.
this is my favorite version of a couple of classics. i'm surprised there isn't more recognition for it. bonnie takes things to another level. what an all around great performer.
Bonnie is truly one of a kind. Perhaps the best concert I've ever been to was her show (with John Prine...WOW) at U of I Assembly Hall in Urbana, IL, in 1999. In-credible.
Saw her July 9, 1995 at what is now Taco Bell Arena in Boise, ID and this song had me paralyzed in awe! Even moreso than walking back toward my car and stopping cause the tour busses were in the way! Which gave me the chance to hang out and meet her and her entire band! :) Thank you Bonnie for the playing & for hanging w/ all of us! And for inspiring me to learn to play guitar! Rock On!

She and McDowell were buddies and even performed together. Pretty sure he wouldn't have minded.
