Who else here is a Bonnie Raitt fan?
Her newest CD, "Souls Alike" is really great. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

I think she is awesome. A powerful woman, who isn't afraid to take a stand for what she believes in.

I'm bummed b/c I wasn't able to score tix to either of her two upcoming Bay Area concerts. Damn. Seeing Bonnie live is a real treat.

Oh well, at least I got the CD. B-)

2. She is divine
I once described her as having a silky voice, and my friends were like :wtf: but I'm serious, she has a beautiful voice. She knows how to make it raunchy, but she's so smoooooth when she wants to be. I'm enthralled with her, though much of her music is not my thing.

3. I will check it out, thanks.
I like good music, and I love the way she plays guitar. I think Sheryl Crow has a new one out, too.

Ever since I heard her "Give It Up" album in '73! She is going to be here in Tulsa soon and I can't afford to go. :cry:

I've seen her live too at a fairly small venue. She's great, very entertaining!

I like Susan Tedeschi as well. Kinda reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt.

11. Chicks love Bonnie Raitt
I support Bonnie. But she is such a blues hound and drags her slide audibly over the guitar frets. She is not an idiot, but a lot of idiots can sing and play the blues.

Now THAT was a fun and rockin' show!
