You're right, early Bonnie has a more funky, less produced feel. Her first 4-5 albums were phenomenal. I LOVE her, and happen to like both early and newer stuff. Still think "Nick of Time" is an INCREDIBLE CD. [ Reply ]

Haven't heard the David Gray version. The only songs I've heard of his have been played to death by KFrOG, so I'm not that excited by him. My loss, I suppose.

And I'm not usually a fan of covers, especially when the original came out not long before. Great song, great rendition. Bonnie may be more technically expressive in her singing, but there's NO way she's more emotive than David. His songs work exactly because he don't drown them in so-called superb production. No surprise, I agree with those who said they preferred the original. Personally, I don't think much of Bonnie's skills to begin with. That's a matter of taste; of course I know she's a wonderful musician and singer, but I don't like listening to her. [ Reply ]
coding_to_music Jan 03, 2005 - 11:12	David Gray's version is wonderfully excellent, but the sonic quality and expressivness of this version is equally good, IMHO... [ Reply ]

Or she had just simply vanished with the dying moments of that decade. :???: Sadly, I have to agree. Awsome woman, great singer, undeniable feelings, but it just hasn't been the same for a long while. I'll always hang on to the great stuff! [ Reply ]
rKokon Sep 07, 2004 - 08:29	I have a higher opinion of the merits of Bonnie Raitt's voice than Clarinetta does. Now when do you play some Bette Midler, whom I haven't heard in so long? :^o [ Reply ]

This woman is as close to perfect as an artist gets, horribly under rated, and a damn nice girl! To those who think she sux; go to a Brittney concert, buy a poster, whack off and quit hanging out here where the real artsists are! Cool story! I have always wanted to meet her to tell her how much her music means to me (no gushing I would be cool about it). Alas, no luck. I'm glad you got to meet her and your assessemnt of her does not surprise me in the least. [ Reply ]
dadofsammy May 06, 2004 - 19:40	Never heard this one before....I'm part of the first wave of Bonnie fans....saw her first in 1978. Haven't really kept current, so every time I hear a more recent on RP, it's like a little gift under the tree. This one has a style and even melody similar to some tracks on KD Lang's "Ingenue". A very nice tune indeed, Mr. Gray. [ Reply ]

audiozeb Apr 24, 2003 - 13:09	Originally Posted by clarinetta: Bonnie Raitt has a terrible voice just like Bette Midler and the songs by both of these women are not worth listening to at all. But Freur "Doot Doot" is "Godlike"? OK, whatEVER Anyway this was OK, but I truly LOVE the David Gray version. Bonnie gets a 5 for this one. Edited By audiozeb at 1:10 pm on 4/24/2003 [ Reply ]
missjanuary Apr 14, 2003 - 08:27	Originally Posted by robinesque: If architecture is frozen music, then Bonnie Raitt's voice is melted sculpture - as fluid as windblown silk, and as solid as polished marble. (like, Bonnie rocks) But the music is overblown socks and leaden dullness. Did you know that 'bonnie raitt' is an anagram of 'granny nattering'. :p [ Reply ]
