I went to see Bonnie Raitt live about 30 years ago.

Sadly she is nowhere near as well known in the UK as she is in the US.

And I know it may be sacrilege to say it, but I prefer her singing ballads to singing blues songs.

Here she is singing Love has no pride from her 1972 album.

She has a great voice for ballads.

I once put a load of her ballads on cassette and always played it when people came round my house and so many people said how much they loved the songs (and the singer).

I'm sorry- I've never heard of Bonnie Raitt! I like "This is Spinal Tap", though.
