Sorry, too dyed in the wool lib despite her musical abilities. Or because of maybe.
The band I’m in does this version of the song. It’s a bit tough for me to sing the falsetto background vocals at the end of the song, but I usually manage :)
The band is good, I wish our bass player was 1/10 the caliber (used to be my job until he took over for me when I had 2 neck surgeries). It would be fun to play this song on bass, hopefully I get more time soon.
Nice colors. Reminds me of Disraeli Gears.
OMG I was once dragged to one of her shows by the Mrs. and had to endure sermonettes between numbers.
It was like a Leftist tent meeting.
After South Vietnam was taken over by the commies in ‘75, Raitt wrote a song celebrating the takeover. She’s worse than just a run of the mill lefty.
Yuck! Some libs just can't get over themselves.
Don’t know what year you went.
I saw her in the early 2000’s. A great concert. With Hornsby playing backup for her. NO politics.
When she sang I Can’t Make You Love Me...it nearly brought me to tears. Beautiful clear voice.
This was just after Katrina and she was in the terminal stages of Bush Derangement Syndrome.
But I agree - when she shut up & sang it was very good.
Like redheads. Like slide guitar. Like her music. But,,, I need to put her in a ball gag.
You wanna hear awesome? Here it is!
