 She's got roots. October 25, 2008
C. C. Eisenhart (God's Country)
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!
The best of Bonnie Raitt CD January 13, 2008
Anita P (Dallas, Tx)
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.
FANTASTIC! January 10, 2008

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

I purchased this CD because I had just been to a Bonnie Raitt concert - and it contained most of the same songs she sang at the concert. It's a great CD !!!!
