BONNIE RAITT

Late here and what better way to end the day than with my main lassie Ms Bonnie Raitt whether rocking it with her wonderful blues slide guitar or haunting us with her peerless voice singing a song of heartbreak as here . . . . One of my favourite songs  of all time and there is no-one to touch her version IMHO written for her 11th Grammy award winning album' Luck of The Draw'. The writers Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin wrote country songs but upon changing  the tempo and slowing it right down released they had a heart felt ballad and the offered it to Bonnie . . . . . . Raitt had the grace to thank publicly Adele who had recorded it and made it take on attention again. Thats some cojones . . . bonny lass
