Bonnie Raitt - one of the most critically admired yet commercially ignored white R&B singers in the history of popular music, Bonnie Raitt only achieved the success and respect she had so obviously deserved with her tenth album, almost 20 years after her recording debut. The daugher of Broadway star John Raitt (of Carousel and The Pajama Game fame), Bonnie Raitt (born 1949) was first captivated by the blues and began learning guitar at the age of 12. After dropping out of college in 1969, she began playing on the US folk and blues circuit, turning heads due to her ability - almost unique in a white female - to play credible bottleneck guitar.

Too true | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Don’t Want Anything To Change performed by Bonnie Raitt So true ... too true. Once again, she hits the mark. Dead on. If you've lived and loved, you've likely felt the emotions that this song reveals ... whether you want to admit it, or not. Not wanting to admit this sort of empathy is, of course, the nature of this song's appeal. Yet the song itself encourages such unwilling honesty ... and then comforts in reward. Lyricist | Reviewer: Karen Kantor ------ About the song Love Letter performed by Bonnie Raitt How about listing the name of the person who actually WROTE the lyrics you're providing. She (in this case, Bonnie Hayes) not only deserves the recognition- this is a copyright issue! How True! | Reviewer: bluestizntx ------ About the song Nick of Time performed by Bonnie Raitt The very first time I heard this song, I was so taken with how it seemed to say what I'd been going through... this is one of those songs that will remain ageless throughout time, for as we grow older we will relate! I remember hearing Bonnie talking about when she wrote this song on an interview... she said she had been in a writing slump and she went up in the mountains to a friend's cabin to hibernate and WRITE!

Love this song. THE LYRICS THAT WERENT THERE | Reviewer: bob ------ About the song Never make your move too soon performed by Bonnie Raitt Three days of snow in a burn'in hell, bet your a wanderin how I am I rang that number all night long, got no comfort on the telephone Went out and caught me a midnight flight, thought alittle lovin would make it all alright The landlord said you moved away and left me all of your bills to pay, look out baby I think you made your move to soon, He left me with some cheap old car, livin in Vegas aint to hard I ran it up to about 15 grand, counted it out and held in my hand That kind a word will get around, I met the law and they called your bond Now I hear ya knockin baby at my door, but you don't live hear no more Hey baby, I think you made your move to soon. Intrumental Guy sings: I've been from Spain to Tokyo, Africa and Ohio, I never try to make the news, I'm just someone who sings those low down blues I take my lovin everywhere, I come back to see if ya still care One lover here, one behind, one in my arms, one on my mind, But baby I never make my move to soon Oh you can count on us darling never make your move to soon. They're Playing Our Song | Reviewer: Michele ------ About the song Feels Like Home performed by Bonnie Raitt This isn't a technical review of the musical merits of the song, but rather, a testimonial to its meaning. Four years ago I married a man who had survived a terrible childhood of abuse and years of being limited in what he could do. I saw his potential in the light shining from his eyes and fell for him immediately. Whenever we hear this song, we fall in love again, for each of us can find our separate lives and the joy of our love in these lyrics. Whenever the song plays, we stop what we're doing and listen to the words only our hearts utter on a daily basis. There are more polished love songs, I'm sure, but this one cuts right to the core of what's important between two people. Thank you for writing it, Bonnie! Tina's dedication | Reviewer: T ------ About the song I Thank You performed by Bonnie Raitt i haven't heard the song yet, but im hoping it's a song i've been looking for, I love Bonnie so i will like it anyway.
