A new dimension to this timelessly beautiful song, when it's sung by a woman (and one as gifted as Bonnie Raitt). Gorgeous! But I'll always think of it as a guy's song, expressing a male kind of helplessness when he doesn't make the grade in a woman's eyes. A young man's song, maybe, but Stevie Winwood the writer and his friend Eric Clapton played it a few years back, acoustically, at a concert I was at and it silenced the Albert Hall. I was weeping throughout. (I'm nearly 70.)

What a treat to find a Bonnie gem that I haven't heard before. Within 15 seconds it was added to my playlist. I'm among the legions who have followed her for 50 years and the treasure hunt never ends. There is nothing she can't do vocally or musically if she sets herself the task. No voice matches her range of soul, power, tenderness, yearning, joy. We have been well and truly blessed with her music for a lifetime.

Bonnie's always been a wonderful singer, but there was a purity and innocence to her voice on those early albums, recorded before the weary experience of the road and the music business. She could tear your heart out on classics like this and Too Long at the Fair.

Too Long at the Fair has been in my top 5 Bonnie favorites for decades. Also, from her debut album, Since I Fell for You. So much amazing music before she "suddenly" got noticed by radio in 89 with Nick of Time. For those who knew her back when, sweet memories. For those who came later - better late than never. It's still all good.

1976, Leicester, England. Bonnie Raitt, Home Plate album on vinyl. Love at first listen. Later, as a big Little Feat fan, her bootlegged session with Lowell George (Bonnie calls Lowell “cute” 🤣🤣🤣) is full of this high calibre stuff. This is a Steve Winwood (Traffic) composition, Bonnie simultaneously treats it with respect to the original and makes it her own. Such a superb musical talent. Thanks for all the great music Bonnie Raitt.

I’ve seen Bonnie live several times, but the most memorable was a time when I could not hear her when I was supposed to hear her. Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mt. View, California (which has pretty darn good sound), maybe 25 years or so ago. Some opening act, followed by Bonnie Raitt, then Eric Clapton and I believe B.B. King closing. Bonnie comes out, gets 2 minutes into her first song and the sound goes completely out of wack. Sound was coming over the system, but not at all listenable. Several stops and starts, with fiddling by the sound people in between, but no luck. Bonnie finally hangs it up. After a long break the sound gets fixed and Clapton comes on. All is good with the sound and after a bit he calls Bonnie out to finish out the last half of his set with him. Disaster turns to gold. Oh, and I’m pretty certain B.B. was great as well.

This looks kind of like it’s a freeze frame of a tv live concert in Chicago around 1970 give or take a couple years. She was just getting started. This was a blues oriented concert with a number of well established blues artists. This was a bonafide live performance, not one of those piped-in travesties that were so common.
