  • Have mercy! My GOD, can this woman sang. Every time I hear her voice, it literally sends chills up n down my spine and all over my body. I can't help but grin ear to ear with pride and admiration for her talent. She is also a fine musician/guitarist and deserves just as much credit in this area of her craft. To add to that, she is such a humble a gracious individual. What a combination. Yes baby, sing the song. Mmmm...mmm. Love it! Peace.

  • She has such pretty hands.

  • Madonna should clean this lady her shoes.

  • @warhols25  Well said man !

  • @warhols25 madonna ain't qualified to do that

  • @catoofmd Yeah, she's more qualified as her doorstop. Paperweight maybe. If she's very good then maybe she could clean her shoes or polish her slide or something.

  • @warhols25 Never be another Blues sister like Mz Bonnie Raitt

  • I love this! Bonnie is my fave blues-woman :)

  • Oh take me home.........

  • she rocks it good mmmm lawdy lawdy !! love that Boniie Raitt

  • This goes in my top two blues performances, next to SRV at the el mocambo doing Texas Flood.  Bonnie is by far the greatest female blues guitar player ever.

  • @piper5177 She's one of the greatest blues players ever of any gender. She busted right out of the female music ghetto.

  • @piper5177 I recommend BLUES MASTERS to you. Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, et al.

  • Fabulous finger pickin'. The voice comes naturally, the guitar takes a hell of a lotta work!

  • Holy, holy!

  • Old woman rock on...I broke my Bonnie Raitt greatest hits CD listening to this over and over again because I can't get enough of her guitar playing:)

  • fuck the six people that disliked this... it's astounding.
