You have to remind yourself that not only is she gorgeous and sings straight from her heart to your soul, she is also an unbelievable blues guitarist (and went to Radcliffe). Nature held nothing back when it came to Bonnie Raitt.

Bonnie Raitt one of the best female blues singer.

I had the pleasure of seeing her perform one evening, under the stars. (1990?) Greek Theater in Berkeley on a Summer night. It was comfortable just being there, but I swear, she added 10 degrees of oozing warmth to the experience. She just oozes something. What a voice....and how she just pours and purrs it on. Loved being there and listening to the great Raitt. When she brought out her pianist for "I can't make you love me" the pain was too much.

Hello Patricia

Picked up her first album in 74. She still is the best.

Its really interesting to hear Bonnie Raitt as a younger artist, then compare her voice now. Both excellent but definitely hear more rasp/grit in later years.

A lot of extremely talented people have covered this song, but Bonnie owns it!

Thanks for mentioning that. When someone wants to cover this, are they really prepared to be compared to the one who "owns it" ???!

Bonnie and John, two of my favorite music people of all time.

Just heard this song on the TV show...In Plain Sight... Had to re listen, brings back old times.

"If dreams were thunder, and lightning was desire, this old house woulda burned down a long time ago"...epic!

Don't you just love it brother Grif ! This song was actually written by John Prine one of my all-time heroes he's written many songs for many country stars ! He just passed recently from that goddamn Corona virus set upon the world by communist China !

I've seen her live 3 times, and I even got to meet her after a show once. She's such a nice woman and a very talented artist.

I named my daughter Bonnie Louise. Took her to live show in Melbourne when she was about 9. Love to John Prine and Fiona 5.4.20 🇦🇺☮🇺🇸💜🖖🌹

I’m a classic heavy blues rock and hard rock fan who grew up in the 70s on Led Zeppelin and early Aerosmith... but this woman’s singing pulls my heart strings like something very special.

This is so good, her voice, the storytelling. Music like this makes me feel at peace with the world.

What a voice...what a song

And God bless a singer whose words you can understand!!

That's a sweet use of words. Thanks for sharing

No one has that voice, smooth, with wisdom and blues, all at once. Props to her backup singers as well.

If you've been fortunate enough to have seen Bonnie Raitt recently, you will know that she sounds as good today as she did in the 70's

Bonnie is truly one of the world's best guitarists.

Hard to believe that John Prine wrote this song when he was 25 years old.

He was a old soul

If someone asked me for an example of a perfect country song, I'd show them this one.

Such a beautiful song by John Prine and a perfect interpretation by her. I was a drummer in Cambridge in 1974 and she came to a gig I played at Jack's on Mass. Ave. Very cool.

one of my favorite songs ever. Makes me feel better every time I hear it.

First time hearing/seeing this tonight. it's outstanding.

When I first heard John Prine's song (a long time ago), I thought immediately that Bonnie Raitt should sing it. She did and that's the way it should be.

Bonnie Raitt could sing the phone book and win a grammy. Such a beautiful voice.

Too bad I'm finding her late

Bonnie is truly in a class all by herself... she has ever so much soul...

A special song from a memorable time in my life. Taking the kids to the Ohio high school football championship game, I’m 2004. They were in jr high, and we wore this out over the four hour drive. Memories, with those you love.

one thing that is for certain her voice is timeless…… I love you for that Bonnie Rait🔥

It’s unbelievable that the writer of this song is gone and Bonnie is in her 70’s. I’m not that far behind.

As I sit here weeping, all I can say is Dear Lord, please hold John close to you. What a loss for us, and what a gain for heaven.

I, too, have been crying like a baby. RIP Mr Prine.

I met Bonnie, in her dressing room, at the Oscar Mayer Theater in Madison, Wisconsin after her show (late 80s). I said, simply, "Why didn't you do 'Angel from Montgomery'?" She replied, flatly, "I'm sick of that song. " Love you, Bonnie! ❤️

WHEN I was a young girl I had me a cowboy.... ...MAKE me a COWBOY, flys from Montgomery... HOW the hell can a person go to work in the morning and come home in the evening and have noting to say? ... to believe in this living.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Amazing lyrics, amazing song.. OMG . Bonnie Raitt = 🔥🔥🔥

Almost two years ago I was traveling along good old 66, somewhere between Seligman and Kingman, and in a route 66 shop someone was singing this song. And I cried a little bit. Just being there, just going somewhere.

There is only one person in the world that can take a Prine song and improve it and we all just watched her.

This rendition brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

Truly one of the finest songs in existence.
