Bonnie Raitt has one of the most soulful singing voices in the music industry. Plus she can hang with all the big names on slide guitar. Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of my favorite female blues voices has got to be Bonnie Raitt.\u00a0 I’m sure I’m not alone when it comes to making that statement, so I wanted to share some of her “bluesier” performances that also highlight her skills on guitar.\u00a0 Bonnie is, in my opinion, the whole package when it comes to being a musician.\u00a0 Thankfully she spent most of her career playing with some of the other top blues artists in the music industry so we have access to many stellar performances.\u00a0 I came across three live performances that feature Bonnie with her own band and sitting in with some popular blues guests.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy the videos as much as I did!<\/p>\n

The first video travels back to 1976 with a live rendition of the song, “Love Me Like A Man.”\u00a0 Hear Bonnie kill it on vocals and guitar at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QXLP8_2B2sw&feature=related<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second video features Bonnie with a very special guest on guitar and vocals.\u00a0 She sat in with blues artist John Lee Hooker and they both performed the song, “I’m In The Mood.”\u00a0 Check it out at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rT-FoZt95D4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Bonnie Raitt was part of a special tribute performance to the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan on Austin City Limits.\u00a0 Hear her sing “Pride And Joy” with Double Trouble at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6Mylo0piAgc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bonnie Raitt has one of the great voices in the music industry and some awesome skills on guitar to boot.\u00a0 It’s not often you see a woman, or any guitarist man or woman for that matter, holding it down the way she does with the bottleneck slide.\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed the performances from Bonnie Raitt and all the special guests as well.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more coming your way at Blues Guitar Unleashed.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
