Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Judging from her two live releases, this and 1995's Road Tested, everyone's favorite slide-guitar-playing, rootsy redhead loves working with other musicians. Generally known for raising the visibility of older blues and R&B legends such as Ruth Brown and Charles Brown, she invites more contemporary stars Ben Harper, Norah Jones, Keb' Mo' and Alison Krauss along for this set. Recorded during a September 2005 evening, this slick package catches Raitt and her muscular four-piece on tour supporting Raitt's 2005 album Souls Alike. Perhaps not surprisingly, the setlist is heavily weighted to that album, with nearly half the selections drawn from it. Although those songs are well played, they don't differ markedly from the studio versions. It would have been more interesting to cherry-pick older, more obscure material from Raitt's extensive career. Regardless, the duets work well in a restrained VH1 way, with Harper the highlight as he lays into the gospel "Well, Well, Well" and the double-barreled slide showcase "Two Lights in the Nighttime." Raitt's in fine fettle throughout, slinging stinging slide solos and singing with her usual emotional fervor. --Hal Horowitz

Saw Bonnie in Cardiff. A great singer and songstress and I think she can kick ass. Country and Rock blended together. She also helped Musicians in New Orleans after Hurrican Katrina devasted the City by putting on concerts to raise money. She also supports a number of Charitable organisations. More info on Bonnie

if you like Bonnie you'll love this some great footage of her key numbers as well as some different stuff - duet with Norah Jones particularly good I think.

I have only just discovered the musical talents of this lady, she is very versatile, and this D.V.D. of her in action was great to see.---I will be buying more of her albums.
