i admit i wasn't a big fan before - i know her and some of her songs but never own her albums. until i bought this The Best of Bonnie Raitt on Amazon.. WHOA! is all i can say. what a voice! there's a wide range of music; blues, country, even pop... and what a great performer!!
i start with the well known tracks like: "nick of time", "something to talk about", "i can't make you love me".. her voice, the music composition, instruments, etc., all first class. until i hit track #11 "love me like a man", it instantly become my favorit song! and i read the bio, it was recorded back in 1972! and further amazes me, she also play the sultry guitar!! WHOA! i have a LOT OF RESPECT for her and what a find for this record!

I never, met Bonnie, but I knew her former boyfriend, Dick Waterman, who managed the old timers, like Son House, Fred McDowell, Skip James, as well, as back then Buddy Guy, Jr. Wells, and Luther Allison.
Bonnie cut her eye teeth playing with the old guys, learning that bottleneck thing, and she does justice to it. Just as John Mooney, who learned from Son House, does.
BTW, I recorded Eddie'Son'House in the fall of 1969 in my dorm room, before that fateful day when some kids, wanting to learn bottleneck, gave him a jug of wine. One bitter cold night in Rochester, a snowdrift, and frost-bitten fingers...and Son House's career was history.

I don't know if it was the great service or the fact this CD brings back such memories....I am thoroughly enjoying it! Thanks for the very easy shopping experience!

Fabulous! The live version of Love Me Like a Man was so good! No one can do the ballads/torch songs as well as she does - Dimming of the Day, I Can't Make You Love Me. Her blues numbers are without comparison.
Perhaps the only disappointment in this collection was that I would definitely have included Come To Me - which wasn't here.
Other than that, if you are a Bonnie Raitt fan, this CD is a string of home runs, one after another.

This CD captures the energy of Bonnie Raitt in concert. Turn it up loud and sing along. It's great.
