Bonnie Raitt, usually an electric slide player, shows her versatility in the clip above.
Raitt started her tour this week and has a new album, Slipstream. She last toured with Taj Mahal in 2009, but took a break during which a close friend, her parents and brother Steve — also a musician — all died.
Here are Tennessee Waltz (with Norah Jones), No Gettin Over You (with Keb Mo), the Willie Nelson tune Night Life (with B.B. King), Love Me Like a Man and Something to Talk About, her hit from a few years ago.
Raitt’s tour dates are at her site. Here are her Facebook page and a discography.
