Adam Rafferty - "I Can't M*ake You L*ove Me" - Bonnie Raitt - Solo Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar

Hi Friends...here's a gorgeous, heart wrenching song - written by Mike Reid (a retired NFL defensive lineman!) and Allen Shamblin and recorded by Bonnie Raitt on her Luck of the Draw album.

In August 2000, Mojo magazine voted "I Can't Make You Love Me" #8 on its The 100 Greatest Songs Of All Time list...

My personal favorite versions are the Bonnie Raitt ones! :-)

Enjoy!!!

Adam, I continue to be amazed at your intuatively inteligent and beautiful arrangements. Your arrangement is played with such tenderness, taste, touch and tone my brother. We need players/musicians like you, because you remind us of the possibilities. I was brought to tears from how beautifully you played this piece. I'll always say what feel and I felt this. I can't wait to hear them say, "And the Grammy Goes to Adam Rafferty." When they do, I'll remember you when and smile. Peace.

@MusicEd1 Ed, thank you - really. I am on the road right now, in a hotel room wondering "what the heck am I doing with my life?" :-) Your comments made my day. If I am reaching you like this, it's all worth it...

@crescentridge I think we all wonder at times. I"m a new fan and subscriber Adam. What you are doing is beautiful. Your playing is a talent and a gift of God. You are sharing the gift and in some strange way, your heart. That's a whole lot more than many can say. I wish you the best and many blessings. In the mean time, I'll stay tuned!

@121jigawatts Oh thank you!!!

I was moved by the sensitivity and emotion that you project in this song. It felt annointed to me. I play guitar also, and you have been an inspiration to me. I've been playing your version of Overjoyed on my gigs (with a few of my own ideas in it). I'm planning on adding the vocals as soon as I feel confident enough with the song. You have a wonderful gift.

@MusicEd1 Wow! This is absolutely beautiful!

I really thought that was amazing Adam. To me it did not seem like you were playing just the song, but put enough soul in it to make it sound like your own masterpiece. It was beautiful.
