As the title notes “Guitar Greats” she is one of THE best slide guitarists around. She’s not only known for that but she studied with the OG blues musicians who have long since passed away. She fought to get them recognized and remunerated for their music. She did a lot to revive blues and recognized the founding fathers and mothers. Love your reactions!!
You cracked me up when you said "I didn't know she could play the guitar!" Bonnie is probably one of the best if not the best slide guitar player alive today & an absolute master of playing blues guitar. This rabbit hole is deep as she has been at it for over 50 years!
Britt you need to check out her videos for Thing Called Love and Something to Talk About. Then you'll know what bottle neck playing is all about. Her and Nancy Wilson are inspirations for female guitarist. ❤
I was at a concert in KC when Bonnie had gotten her slide stolen from the concert the night before in Hayes. She was pissed. Then the next year she was back in KC when someone returned her lost slide. She was overjoyed and spent the night giving us a serious lesson in blues slide for an hour or so extra. I LOVE BONNIE!!!
BRITT, if you want a real treat that will blow your socks off your feet, check out Bonnie with the late, great, great, great, blues man John Lee Hooker doing I’m In The Mood. It is a MASTER class in both the blues and slide guitar. You will thank me for this, GUARANTEED!!!
Bonnie Raitt is in that great exquisite club of blues guitarist!! Buddy Guy the hero to all of them played with her two years ago. Blues has been my thing since I was eight, (71 now) great to hear it in 2023. Keep on listening, It just makes us all richer. Rb
I once had the pleasure of listening to a Bonnie Raitt rehearsal at a club, during which one of the musicians had hit a wrong note and she stopped the band to highlight with her voice the difference between a major and a minor (blues) 7th. Nothin' else - just her voice - singing one, then the other. They're only a half step apart on the scale, but the clarity of her voice, the purity of her pitch was...well, Heavenly. Just the memory of it is humbling.
She became of the first female slide guitarists. She has a great career and is still recording. Thanks for reacting to this. Check out "Nick of Time" one of her best songs.
Bonnie Raitt is one of the all time greats. Could you please react to Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker “ in the mood” live from Santa Barbara 1994 concert performance. Now that is an AWESOME performance I know you will love.
As of 2023, Raitt has received 13 competitive Grammy Awards, from 30 nominations, as well as a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. She ranked No. 50 on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time", and ranked No. 89 on the magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
You apparently haven’t met Bonnie, yet. The blues are her roots, the slide is her tool, and the soul oozes from her vocal cords. She’s musical royalty, historian of the flame. You MUST hear her and Sippy Wallace sing the duet of DON’T ADVERTISE YOUR MAN. Then you’ll understand much, much better. Bonnie once told a Rolling Stone reporter at an LA party in the 70s, “I don’t think there’s a face here I haven’t sat on”.
I first heard of her in 1972. Her first album was the one with the most blues untitled. I have also seen her in concert three times. My favorite song of hers is " if I fell for you".
Bonnie is a legend, she has so much great music to dive into. The slide is the thing on the finger of her left hand. That's what she uses to contact the strings, it allows for a far greater range of sound than finger fretting does. It could be many different types but a bottle neck slide is exactly what it sounds like.
You really should listen to Bonnie sing "Just Like That". Amazing song. It won the 2023 Grammys song of the year. It beat out Adele, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Lizzo, Kendrick Lamar, Harry Styles, GAYLE, DJ Khaled, & Steve Lacy,
You need to locate and listen to "The Lost Broadcast, Philadelphia 1972". Loaded with blues tracks with brief introductions, aka fun facts, to each song. I particularly enjoy her, somewhat impromptu, arrangement of Stephen Stills (Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young) song Bluebird.
If you liked this, you need to check out more of her early recordings from the early 1970’s. One in particular is The Lost Broadcast Philadelphia 1972. It’s a recording of a live radio concert that was broadcast by WMMR - FM and contains a few covers of blues songs written by Sippie Wallace. I heard the original broadcast live and have loved Bonnie ever since.
Enjoying your reactions. Search out Bonnie's version of BABY MINE from the Stay Awake recording of Disney songs. This is the song Dumbo's mother sings to console Dumb. It's a lullaby you my well want to remember, beautifully done.
Ok…Britt…listen to me GF…if you want to really, I mean REALLY watch and listen to Bonnie play the slide guitar, you gotta listen to her play “Gnawin On It”, with Roy Rogers. It is amazing!! Seen her in concert 2x…worth every penny!
I met her once and was surprised at how tiny she is - I'm 5'3" and she was tiny even to me, lol. Saw her play live the next night and the power of her voice, coming out this tiny woman, was just incredible. I've been a huge fan of hers since I first heard her back in the 80s. Not only is she a great singer/guitarist, etc. but she's a huge humanitarian and has been an advocate for old school blues artists to get the rights to their music and royalties they'd been cheated out of. She's a really awesome person.
I hate they cut out the entire second verse for this performance. The song loses a lot of meaning without it. Basically, the second verse tells how the "southern belle" steals his heart, and then proceeds to get him drunk, bleed him of all his money, and then ghosts him. Also "Dixie Chicken" and "Tennessee Lamb" are just terms of affection.
Sexiest blues voice ever -- male or female. And I love that "backbone" line, too! By the way, as long we're doing the blues, have you ever heard "I'll Drink Your Bathwater, Baby", by Ollie Nightingale? You'd LOVE it!
Great singer, great musician - can't go wrong with Bonnie Raitt. Learning to live with and love yourself is a journey too many people don't seem to start, much less complete, during life these days.
You are so musical and need to learn an instrument if you don't play one already. Start now before the baby comes. You have a great voice too, another fine instrument.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 .... how .. Britt .. how , how , how, how , how ... how did you make it this place in your life and not know that Bonnie Raitt plays guitar ???? HOWWWWW ???? Sometimes you baffle me ...... She is groundbreaking.. hero ... Blues bomb Queen ... originator.. style shakun hot Momma .. who should be your Rock hero , or any girls music hero who loves that women can Rock !! Come on Britt .. come onnnnnnnnnnnn , you are getting there ... but come on , come onnnnnnnnnnnnnn 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Bonnie has her Roots in the Blues and is one of the best slide guitar players in the world!

Bonnie IS the greatest slide guitar player of any sex or generation

She doesn't *just* play the guitar - she's one of the greats!
Bonnie has her own signature guitar with Fender. She is more than just a player but a guitar hero.
To steal from your comments, "Who put extra Wheaties in your bowl today?". You are so animated and hilarious. The best reactor ever!
She's one of the best guitarists ever❤❤❤❤❤
Bonnie just won Grammy #4 for 2023 Song of the Year.
"Bonnie is invited to the cookout". Love this
Bonnie always was a blues artist. Still is no matter what she does.
Must react to her Grammy winning song of the year 2022 its called Just Like That
Bonnie Raitt is one killer singer-songwriter and blues guitarist! Dayum! Little known fact: Bonnie was raised a Quaker (peace focused religion)
Chris Smither wrote this song.
Bonnie Raitt is one of the all time greats. Could you please react to
Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker “ in the mood” live from Santa Barbara 1994 concert performance. Now that is an AWESOME performance I know you will love.
OMG, I just looked that up and listened to it after reading your post. WOW, that’s awesome, old time blues!
As of 2023, Raitt has received 13 competitive Grammy Awards, from 30 nominations, as well as a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. She ranked No. 50 on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time", and ranked No. 89 on the magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".

Bonnie once told a Rolling Stone reporter at an LA party in the 70s, “I don’t think there’s a face here I haven’t sat on”.
Bonnie does a good duet with Sippy Wallace singing the song (Woman Be Wise) that Sippy wrote and recorded in 1938.
Love love love that duet. Saw her do it live with another singer once and it killled!!
As great as she was then her voice matured and she became even better.
so glad you said that! piece to you brother!
I first heard of her in 1972. Her first album was the one with the most blues untitled. I have also seen her in concert three times. My favorite song of hers is " if I fell for you".
Bonnie is great!! Thanks for this .
check out Angel from Montgomery by her please. Also her cover of Can't find my way home is great
You go girl/ I,ve been a fan of Miss Bonnies since the 70,s/ That woman has soul baby!😮😊😊
Bonnie is the queen of blues guitar players and also she comes from a music family her father was a famous singer John ratt
Yes, John Raitt was an absolute musical theater star on Broadway, in movies, and TV.
Great blues guitarist. Try Angel From Montgomery
Epic. Bonnie’s early career featured a lot of blues.
Saw Tom Waites open for her at The Boston Music Hall in the 70's
Her Daddy was a famous singer, John Raitt.
Bonnie is a legend, she has so much great music to dive into. The slide is the thing on the finger of her left hand. That's what she uses to contact the strings, it allows for a far greater range of sound than finger fretting does. It could be many different types but a bottle neck slide is exactly what it sounds like.
Sweet!! Love dem blues!!!
I started listening to her in the early '70s. Still great to this day.
Probably the best female slide guitar player out there... And better than a lot of men.
You would probably like Bonnie Raitt's performance with John Lee Hooker "in the mood". th-cam.com/video/F4252FnQHDY/w-d-xo.html.
She just won The Best Song Of The Year for 2023 for the song Just Like That.She has 13 grammy and a Life Time Achievement Award.She is a treasure.

you might have to hope that Bonnie invited you to *her* cookout! That is how good she is!

Have you listened to, or done a video on, Bonnie’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me If You Don’t?” Heartbreaking.
She is a top notch slide guitar player. If you don't know what that is have a listen to her "Thing Called Love".
I will keep it in mind, thanks!
Really enjoying your reactions, Britt. Love your humor and insight on various songs and artists.
Trombone Shorty
Great cook out this morning !I
Gods Blessings be with you !
💓💓
Girl.. your voice is so smooth 😊😊😊😊
A woman's take on a Chris Smither song.
I was fortunate enough to see her live in a small intimate theater in the early 70s. She is something special! Great reaction Britt as always.
I got to see Bonnie several times at Red Rocks Ampitheater while I lived in Denver. Her concerts are stellar.
Old Grey Whistle Stop had some great performances.
Another fun fact: Bonnie was raised in the Religious Society of Friends, which is commonly referred to as The Quakers.
Best reactions on the Internet. 👏👏
Great song, great singer, great reaction. More Bonnie please.
You need to turn up the volume!!
Doesn't get much better than early Bonnie Raitt.
I'm always here for Bonnie. I don't care what song it is.❤ Oh, and she was friends with John Lee Hooker.
I've got 14 albums solo and collab albums. She is a great vocalist, written and especially SLIDE GUITARIST one of the best.
THE FIRST SONG OF HERS YOU REACTED TO SHE WAS PLAYING THE GUITAR!!!!!!!! GET YOU "STUFF TOGETHER"!!!!!!!!

Excelente tema 🤪🤟 buen video
She studied with many famous blues players from the Mississippi Delta
Ok…Britt…listen to me GF…if you want to really, I mean REALLY watch and listen to Bonnie play the slide guitar, you gotta listen to her play “Gnawin On It”, with Roy Rogers. It is amazing!! Seen her in concert 2x…worth every penny!
Give watch to the original video of Joey and Rory “When I’m Gone.”
Joey was my distant cousin. I’ll give you some insider information after you watch.
I met her once and was surprised at how tiny she is - I'm 5'3" and she was tiny even to me, lol.

I’m a HUGE an of Bonnie. Can I also come to the cookout? Only name brand sodas.
Thats hot
I’ve seen her a handful of times in the 70’s in Greenwich village..try Kokomo blues too
Great singer, great musician - can't go wrong with Bonnie Raitt. Learning to live with and love yourself is a journey too many people don't seem to start, much less complete, during life these days.
Let,s don,t forget my home girl Miss Aretha Franklin😊😊
I like a little brown sugar too/ variety is the spice of life/ But just a little spice/😂😂😊😊
This song I think was one written or made known by Sippy wallacequalis an old blues singer
You are so musical and need to learn an instrument if you don't play one already. Start now before the baby comes. You have a great voice too, another fine instrument.
I love when she played with “Little Feat” Lowell George was so good. Incredible!
Bonnie is the female version of Stevie. Thank the heavens that we still have her. . . . .
Her father, John Wright was also a musician
Bottle neck slide is having a bottle on your finger that you slide up and down the guitar for different sounds
Take a deep dive into her music and prepare go on a wonderful journey.
Bonnie would bring the best dish to your bbq. I have been a fan for many years.
And she's never been shy about saying about telling you what she wants. At least in song!
This is my favorite Bonnie song!
how about "I'm in the mood" duet with John Lee Hooker.
National treasure
Britt you need to look into who you present.
🥰
Allan is at the cookout too 😂😂😂❤
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 .... how .. Britt .. how , how , how, how , how ... how did you make it this place in your life and not know that Bonnie Raitt plays guitar ???? HOWWWWW ????
Sometimes you baffle me ......
She is groundbreaking.. hero ... Blues bomb Queen ... originator.. style shakun hot Momma .. who should be your Rock hero , or any girls music hero who loves that women can Rock !! Come on Britt ..
come onnnnnnnnnnnn , you are getting there ... but come on , come onnnnnnnnnnnnnn 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I want to be part of her and your church ❤ So great! 💖🦋
White blues singers can be a little suspect lol but Bonnie and Susan Tedeschi have the goods. Their ease, power and soulfulness are hard to beat.
What a pleasant surprise!! Every bit of this was awesome!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Bonnie Raitt!
Her Dad was a Broadway musical star.
LISTEN TO BLUEBIRD BY BONNIE
